Coin and Gold Buyers Serving Littleton, CO

Littleton carries the name of Richard Sullivan Little, an engineer who settled along the South Platte in the 1860s and laid out the town. It incorporated in 1890 and is the seat of Arapahoe County. The brick storefronts on historic downtown Main Street sit a short walk from the light rail station, and the older houses on the surrounding streets hold some of the longest-kept family collections we handle.

The river has shaped the town too. The South Platte flood of June 1965 tore through Littleton, and Chatfield Dam was built afterward, creating the reservoir and state park that anchor the southwest side. The neighborhoods that grew up between Littleton Boulevard and Chatfield are full of ranch houses owned by one family for decades, and the calls we get from them usually come from retirees or their grown children sorting things out. Those houses tend to give up Morgan and Peace dollars from a grandparent, rolls of silver dimes and quarters saved before 1965, and proof sets from the years the kids were born.

Silver dollars need a careful sort. Every Morgan from 1878 to 1904 and 1921, and every Peace dollar from 1921 to 1935, holds 0.7734 troy ounces of silver, so each one has a floor. Date, mint mark and grade decide how far above it a coin goes. In the original series Denver struck Morgans only in 1921, while CC coins from Carson City and better dates draw collectors. We grade each dollar on its own so a scarce one never lands in the melt pile.

Littleton estates also turn up paper money: silver certificates, red seal notes, star notes and large-size bills printed before 1929. Silver certificates are redeemable only at face value today, though collectors pay more than face for many of them, and National Bank Notes from Colorado banks draw regional interest. When siblings or a personal representative need to divide things fairly, our item-by-item list lets everyone see each piece and its offer. It is an offer to buy, and we do not present it as a certified appraisal for court or tax use.

For a Littleton appointment, the meeting place is set when you book, and for a large estate you can ask whether a home visit makes sense, so the collection stays put while we go through it. Bring a government-issued photo ID, and if you accept, payment comes at that same visit by cash, check or wire for bigger sales.
