Why Denver coins get a closer look
Denver has been turning gold into coins since the camps on Cherry Creek
Colorado families have been saving gold and silver for as long as there has been a Colorado. That history shows up at our appointments as gold pieces, D-mint silver dollars and rolls of wheat cents from the Mint on Colfax.
A D mint mark doesn't make a coin rare by itself. The date, the grade and how many survived do, and those are what we check.
From gold dust to the D mint mark
- 1858
- Gold turns up where Cherry Creek meets the South Platte, and the Pikes Peak gold rush begins. Denver grows out of the camps.
- 1860
- Clark, Gruber and Co. strike their own $2.50, $5, $10 and $20 gold coins in Denver.
- 1863
- The federal government buys the Clark, Gruber building and runs it as an assay office.
- 1906
- The Denver Mint on West Colfax strikes its first coins, marked with a D.
Is it worth its metal, or more?
A lot of buyers weigh a box of coins and make one offer. We look at each coin and show you the numbers.
Melt value
A worn Morgan dollar holds 0.7734 troy oz of silver. At today's spot price that comes to about
live spot
It rises and falls with silver every day.
Collector value
The same coin with a scarce date, a CC mint mark or an unworn, original surface can bring

Date, mint mark, grade and eye appeal set it. We check all four with you.
How we work in Denver
We sort first and price second
A Denver estate rarely holds just one kind of thing. A bungalow off Old South Pearl might turn up a coffee can of wheat cents, a few rolls of Kennedy halves and a grandmother's 14K bracelet. A ranch house in Arvada might hold a mint set for every year a parent worked. A Cherry Creek condo might hold a single gold coin and a drawer of class rings.
Weighing all of that together is quick. It also prices a better-date silver dollar as bullion and a signed bracelet as scrap. So we sort first. Each coin gets a look at date, mint mark, grade and surface. Gold gets sorted by karat stamp and tested without acid or scratching. The scale sits on the table where you can read it.
Then you get a written, item-by-item offer showing which coins we priced as metal, which as collector pieces, and what each lot of gold weighs at its karat. The list is yours either way. Families in Littleton and Lakewood often pass it around before anyone decides, and personal representatives use it to keep heirs in the loop.
Say yes and we pay you that visit by cash, check, or wire for larger sales. Say no and everything goes home with you.

Questions Denver sellers ask
Where do we meet?
We work by appointment only, so you won't wait at a counter or carry a box of silver through a shop. When you call, we agree on a private place and time. For a larger collection or an estate, ask about a home visit, and nothing leaves the house unless you sell.
What does the evaluation cost?
Nothing. We go through every coin and every piece of gold, tell you what we see, and hand you a written offer. You're free to say no. A lot of sellers take the list home, show it to the family and call back when they're ready.
How is my offer worked out?
Each coin gets priced two ways. Its metal value comes from weight, purity and the live spot price. Its collector value comes from date, mint mark, grade and current demand. Collector coins are priced as collector coins, and the written list shows which basis we used for each one. Gold jewelry is priced by karat and weight.
Do you buy gold jewelry and scrap gold?
Yes. Broken chains, odd earrings, class rings, wedding bands, gold watch cases and dental gold all count. We sort it by karat stamp, test it without acid or scratching, and weigh it on a calibrated scale with the display facing you.
How do I get paid?
Accept the written offer and you're paid during the same visit, by cash or check. Larger sales can be wired. Bring a government-issued photo ID if you plan to sell.
Should I clean or sort the coins first?
Leave them alone. Cleaning strips a coin's original surface and can cut its collector value sharply, and old copper pennies are the easiest to ruin. Bring the coffee cans, rolls, albums and envelopes as they are. We sort them with you at the table.
