Coin and Gold Buyers Serving Commerce City, CO

Commerce City has always been a working town. It began in the early 1950s as Commerce Town, an industrial stretch north of Denver with rail yards, a refinery and plants along the South Platte, and later took the name Commerce City. The families who settled the old neighborhoods of Derby and Adams City held those jobs, and the savings they left behind tend to be practical ones: gold chains, wedding bands, a jar of silver coins, now and then a few silver dollars.

East of town, the Rocky Mountain Arsenal opened in 1942 as an Army plant making chemical weapons for World War II. After years of cleanup the land became the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, where a bison herd now grazes with downtown Denver on the horizon. Some of the oldest Commerce City estates we see belonged to people who worked at the Arsenal or on the farms around it, and their drawers hold wheat cents, Indian Head pennies and pre-1965 dimes set aside out of pocket change.

Gold jewelry comes up in a lot of our Commerce City calls. Much of it is 10K and 14K, along with 18K pieces bought on trips to Mexico and the occasional 22K bangle. We sort every piece by its karat stamp, test it without acid or scratching and weigh it on a calibrated scale in front of you. Gold-filled and plated pieces get pulled aside and explained, since they hold very little gold. If a piece is signed or antique and could sell for more as jewelry, you hear that from us before it is priced.

Families with roots in Mexico often have Mexican gold and silver put away. A gold 50 pesos Centenario holds 1.2057 troy ounces of gold, and silver Libertads turn up both in sets and loose. We price those on their metal and on collector demand where it applies, and each one gets its own line on your written offer, the same as a U.S. coin would.

Anyone who has sold to a hotel buying event or a cash-for-gold kiosk knows how little you sometimes get to see. With us the testing and weighing happen at the table where you can watch. The meeting place is agreed when you book, and larger estates can ask about a home visit. Bring a government-issued photo ID. If the numbers work for you, you are paid that day, and if they don't, the coins and jewelry go home with you.
