Found it in a drawer? Here is what it probably is
The things Collin County sellers find most often, and the quick clue that tells you what each one is.
| If you have | It is usually | More |
|---|---|---|
| Dimes, quarters and halves dated 1964 or earlier | 90% silver. Check the year first; it tells you most of what you need. | Silver coins |
| Kennedy halves dated 1965 to 1970 | 40% silver, so still worth more than face. From 1971 on they are copper-nickel. | Silver coins |
| Nickels from 1942 to 1945 with a big mint mark above the building | Wartime "silver nickels," 35% silver. | Silver coins |
| Large silver dollars dated 1878 to 1935 | Morgan and Peace dollars, 90% silver. Some dates and mint marks carry collector value too. | Silver |
| Wheat-back pennies, 1909 to 1958 | Mostly common, but a handful of dates are scarce, so they are worth a look before anyone spends them. | Rare coins |
| Shiny "gold" dollars with Sacagawea or a president | Brass, with no gold in them. Usually worth face value. | Coins |
| Flat plastic or cardboard packs from the U.S. Mint | Proof or mint sets. Most are clad; some years were struck in silver. | Collections |
| Rings or chains stamped 10K, 14K, 18K, 417, 585 or 750 | Solid gold. Marks like GF, GP or HGE mean only a thin gold layer. | Gold jewelry |
| Heavy gold coins marked 1 oz, or U.S. gold dated before 1933 | Bullion such as Eagles, Krugerrands and Maple Leafs, or classic U.S. gold. | Gold coins |

Questions before you decide?
A short call answers most of them. If we miss you, leave your number on the form and we call back during business hours.
What sellers ask first
Where is your office?
Our office is in McKinney, and it is private and appointment-only. Publishing the street address would put sellers carrying gold at risk, so we share it by phone after you book. Many sellers skip the office entirely and have us come to their home or meet at their bank.
Do you come to the house?
Yes. We meet at our private McKinney office, your home or a secure location such as your bank. Home visits make sense for heavy albums, a safe full of coins, or anyone who would rather not drive around with gold in the car.
Is this an appraisal?
No. We look at your pieces so we can offer to buy them. You receive an offer to buy, which is different from a written appraisal prepared for insurance, probate or tax purposes.
When can we meet?
Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, by appointment. Each appointment is set aside for one seller, so there is no line and no rush.
Should I send photos first?
It helps but is never required. The form takes up to four. A clear shot of each side of a coin, or of the stamp inside a ring, lets us prepare.
What happens with coins that are just pocket change?
We tell you plainly, right at the table. Plenty of coins are worth only what is stamped on them, and those go back in your pocket.
Should I clean anything?
Please do not. Polish and dips strip collector value for good. Bring everything as it is.
Do I need to sort everything first?
No. Unsorted is easier for us than half-sorted. We go through it together and set aside anything with silver, gold or collector interest as we go.
Do you buy graded coins in slabs?
Yes. Leave them sealed. The grade on the label is part of what we look at, and opening a slab cannot be undone.
Do you buy foreign coins?
Yes. World gold and silver coins are often worth the most, but we look at base-metal world coins too and tell you plainly if they are only curiosities.
How do I know what my gold jewelry is?
Look for a small stamp inside a ring band or near a clasp: 10K, 14K, 18K, or numbers like 417, 585 or 750. No stamp at all is common too, and we test it in front of you.

Spot is the going market rate for a troy ounce of pure metal. Treat it as a yardstick, not an offer.
Why two similar coins get different offers
Two quarters from the same decade can be miles apart. Metal sets the floor; collectors can raise the ceiling. These five clues decide where a coin lands.
-
Which coin
Country, series and design point to the right market.
-
Year and mint mark
A short mintage can lift an ordinary design well past melt.
-
Grade
Wear, nicks and old cleaning change what collectors pay.
-
Metal
Weight times purity sets the floor for gold and silver.
-
Today's demand
Collector appetite and metal prices both move.
Curious about the metal side alone? Plug grams and karat into the gold melt calculator, or a coin count into the silver melt calculator. You get raw metal content at today's spot, which is a reference, not our offer, and skips any collector premium.
Why sell face to face
Shipping coins off or leaving them behind a counter means trusting a process you cannot see. Meeting in person keeps you in the room for every step.
-
Nothing leaves your sight
Your coins and jewelry stay on the table in front of you the whole time. Nothing gets boxed up and shipped off to a stranger.
-
You hear the reasoning
We point to the date, the mark or the wear that drives each number, so the offer makes sense before you answer.
-
Sell some, keep the rest
Pull a piece back at any point. Many sellers keep a favorite coin or a family ring and sell the remainder.
-
Ask anything
Questions are welcome while we look. Each appointment is set aside for one seller, so nobody is waiting behind you.
Handling a family collection?
Heirs and executors call us often, usually with no idea what is in the boxes. That is fine. Leave everything as it is and start with a phone call.
-
Do not clean anything
Polish, dips and baking soda erase collector value in seconds. Dirty is fine.
-
Leave holders alone
Folders, flips, slabs and Mint boxes stay as they are, gaps and all. A set split apart is hard to put back.
-
Save any paperwork
Old receipts, inventory lists or notes in an album help show what the collector was after.
Five minutes before you call
None of this is required, but it makes the first call quick and the meeting smooth.
- Gather everything in one place, but do not sort, clean or remove coins from holders.
- Count roughly: "two albums and a coffee can" is plenty to tell us on the phone.
- Snap two or three photos if you can, both sides of a coin or the stamp inside a ring.
- Decide where you would like to meet: home, your bank or our private McKinney office.
- Have a photo ID ready for the appointment.
