Graded coins in Denver
Sell PCGS and NGC Graded Coins in Denver
We buy coins certified by PCGS and NGC from collectors and families across the Denver metro. We check each holder and the coin inside it, then price every slab on its own line against current collector demand.
Private appointments across the Denver metro. We call back the same business day.
How graded coins are priced
A slab tells us who graded the coin and what grade it got on the 1 to 70 Sheldon scale. We start there, then study the coin itself, since two coins with the same grade can differ a lot in eye appeal. The offer follows current collector demand for that date, mint mark and grade, with gold or silver content as the floor.
Silver in one slabbed Morgan dollar at today’s spot price
26.73 grams × 90% silver = 0.7734 troy oz × spot today’s price = call for today’s value in metal
Melt value only. Collector value, when a coin has it, is priced separately and shown to you at the table.

Graded coins and the Denver collectors who kept them
Collectors here have a hometown reason to chase certified coins. Denver's coin story runs from the gold pieces Clark, Gruber and Co. struck in town in 1860 and 1861 to the D mint mark that began in 1906. In the original Morgan series, Denver struck dollars only in 1921, so a slabbed 1921-D Morgan is a natural fit for a Colorado collection.
Graded coins tend to come from people who collected on purpose. We see slabs from Boulder collectors who built a set one coin at a time over thirty years. We also see a stack of holders pulled from a bank safe deposit box in Littleton or Centennial after a parent passes, by children who have never heard of a Sheldon grade and want someone to explain the labels.
The label is the place to start. It names the grading service, gives a grade on the 1 to 70 scale and carries a certification number. We read all of it, then look hard at the coin through the plastic. Collectors pay for how a coin looks as well as the number printed above it, and a coin with strong luster or attractive toning can beat others at the same grade.
We check the holder too. A cracked slab, a scuffed label or a holder that looks tampered with gets extra time, and we tell you what we find. A slab with a clean holder and a label you can read in full is the easiest kind to price. If the certification number is hard to make out, we tell you, and we note it on your list so you know why that coin took longer.
Please leave every coin in its holder. Once a coin comes out, it no longer carries a certified grade, and cleaning it would lower the grade further. If the family also has raw coins that were never sent in, bring those as well. We will tell you if any look strong enough to be worth grading before you sell.
Each slab goes on your written offer as its own line, so a family dividing an estate can see what every coin brought. If you accept, payment comes at the same visit by cash, check, or wire for larger sales. If you want to compare first, take the list with you. Call 303-401-0104 to book a private time.

Questions
Common questions
How do you price PCGS and NGC coins?
We start with the grade on the label and the coin's date and mint mark, then look at its eye appeal through the holder. The offer follows current collector demand for that coin in that grade. For gold and silver coins, metal content sets a floor. Every slab is priced on its own line on your written offer.
Should I crack my coins out of their slabs?
No. The holder carries the grade and protects the coin. Once a coin is out, it has no certified grade, and handling or cleaning can lower what a grader would give it next time. Bring the slabs exactly as they are, including any with cracked or worn holders, and we will look at each one with you.
My parent left slabs in a safe deposit box. What do the labels mean?
Each label shows the grading service, the coin's date and mint mark, a grade on the 1 to 70 Sheldon scale and a certification number. Higher numbers mean less wear and better surfaces. We walk you through every label at the appointment, and the written item-by-item list can help when the family is dividing an estate.
Do you buy ungraded coins too?
Yes. Most of what we buy has never been graded. If a raw coin looks like it could grade well, we will say so, and you can decide whether to sell it now or send it to PCGS or NGC first. We sort collector coins from melt coins, so a better date is never priced as bullion.
Can you come to me with a large graded collection?
For larger collections and estates, ask about a home visit when you call 303-401-0104. Boxes of slabs are heavy and scratch easily in transit, and many families would rather not carry them around town. We set where to meet when you book, and the evaluation is free with no obligation to sell.
