Coin and Gold Buyers Serving Westminster, CO

Westminster sits on both sides of US 36, the old Denver-Boulder Turnpike, and it straddles Adams and Jefferson counties. Its neighborhoods run from the older streets of historic Westminster around Lowell Boulevard and 72nd Avenue to newer subdivisions near Standley Lake, where the trails look out on the Front Range. The Butterfly Pavilion draws families from across the metro, and a new downtown has gone up on a former mall site. Standley Lake itself is a reservoir that supplies water to Westminster and nearby cities.

Westminster has its share of hobby collectors who bought coins the modern way, through the Mint, dealers and online sales. Their collections lean toward PCGS and NGC slabs, Silver Eagle proofs, state quarter sets and a few coins sent off for grading in hopes of a high number. Grades run from 1 to 70 on the Sheldon scale, and one grade can change a modern coin's price a great deal. We price slabs on current collector demand for that coin at that grade. Modern Mint products kept in their original boxes, with the certificate, are easier to price than loose ones.

Online videos have left plenty of people hopeful about error coins pulled from change. Most of what sellers bring turns out to be damage: a coin that was run over, plated after it left the Mint or worn smooth in a pocket. Real mint errors include doubled dies, off-center strikes, clipped planchets, wrong-planchet strikes, die cracks and cuds. We look at each suspected error with you under magnification and tell you plainly what it is.

Families along US 36 also call with ordinary inherited coins: a parent's silver dollars, a can of wheat cents, a few gold pieces and a box of loose jewelry. Those get the same care as a slab. Every coin is checked for date, mint mark, grade and eye appeal, and gold is sorted by karat and weighed, so you see each number as it goes on the list. Inherited coins do not need to be sorted ahead of time, so bring them as you found them.

We meet by appointment, with the place set when you book, and there is no counter or audience. Larger collections can ask about a home visit. Have a government-issued photo ID with you if you decide to sell. The evaluation itself is free and comes with no obligation.
