US Gold and Coin has been buying gold, silver, and rare coins from San Diego sellers for years. Southern California has a deep numismatic tradition — from the San Francisco Mint coins that circulated throughout the West Coast to the generations of military families who collected coins while stationed at Naval Base San Diego, Camp Pendleton, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, and Naval Air Station North Island. Whether you are settling a family estate in La Jolla, downsizing a collection in Hillcrest, or converting bullion to cash from the Gaslamp Quarter, we make the process direct and efficient.
Our fully insured mail-in service is designed for San Diego sellers who want competitive, market-driven pricing without the hassle of visiting a local shop. We ship prepaid kits to any address in San Diego County, evaluate items within 24–48 hours of receipt, and issue same-day payment once you accept. When you sell to us, you are working with buyers who recognize the difference between a common-date Peace Dollar and a key-date Morgan worth thousands.

From Single Pieces to Entire Collections

Gold Coins & Bullion
We purchase all forms of gold — from 1 oz American Gold Eagles, 1/10 oz fractionals, and Canadian Maple Leafs to South African Krugerrands, Austrian 100 Corona, and Chinese Gold Pandas. Pre-1933 U.S. gold is among the most common category San Diego sellers bring us: $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles (1907–1933), $10 Indian Head Eagles, $5 Liberty Half Eagles, and $2.50 Quarter Eagles. We also buy gold bars from PAMP Suisse, Credit Suisse, Valcambi, and the Perth Mint in sizes from 1 gram to 1 kilo. Every gold item is tested for purity and evaluated for both melt value and numismatic premium.

Silver Coins & Bars
Silver is the most frequently sold precious metal from San Diego sellers. We buy Morgan Silver Dollars (1878–1921) including key dates like the 1893-S and 1895-O, Peace Dollars (1921–1935), Walking Liberty Half Dollars, Franklin Halves, and pre-1965 Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes — commonly called 90% junk silver. Modern bullion including 1 oz American Silver Eagles, Canadian Silver Maple Leafs, and silver rounds from private mints are purchased at competitive rates tied to live spot. We also buy 10 oz and 100 oz silver bars from Engelhard, Johnson Matthey, and Sunshine Minting. Sterling silver flatware sets (.925 purity), tea services, and holloware are welcome.

Rare & Numismatic Coins
Rare coins require expert evaluation, and our team identifies key dates, mint errors, repunched mint marks, and die varieties that affect value. We regularly purchase Carson City (CC) Morgan Dollars, early U.S. type coins including Draped Bust, Capped Bust, and Seated Liberty issues, and classic commemorative half dollars from the 1892–1954 series. San Francisco Mint coins — struck just 120 miles north of San Diego — are of particular interest to West Coast collectors. Coins graded by PCGS or NGC command higher prices, but we also evaluate raw coins. Send us photos of both sides and we will provide an initial assessment within 24 hours.

Estate Collections
Settling an estate in San Diego often means dealing with coin collections, gold jewelry, and silver pieces accumulated over a lifetime — many brought to the area by military families stationed at one of the region's many bases or accumulated by retirees drawn to Southern California's coast. We work with families, estate attorneys, and executors throughout San Diego County to evaluate and purchase entire collections — from a cigar box of Indian Head pennies and Mercury dimes to organized albums of key-date Morgans and gold Double Eagles. Our insured mail-in service makes it simple regardless of where you are. We catalog each item, provide a written appraisal, and make a single offer for the lot. You are never pressured to sell.

What San Diego Customers Say
"My father was a Navy captain stationed at Naval Base San Diego for 20 years and collected coins throughout his career. After he passed, I sent the collection to US Gold and Coin through their mail-in service. They identified several key-date Morgan Dollars and a group of pre-1933 gold pieces I didn't know were valuable. Fair prices across the board."
"Sold a collection of American Gold Eagles along with several bags of pre-1965 silver quarters. They priced everything based on current market rates, not some lowball offer. The whole process from mailing to payment took less than a week. Highly recommend."
"Had three generations worth of coins sitting in a safe — everything from Indian Head pennies to Walking Liberty half dollars and a few gold Double Eagles. They evaluated each piece individually, explained the grading on the phone, and made a single fair offer for the lot. Check arrived two days after I accepted."
"I inherited my uncle's silver collection — bags of pre-1965 quarters and dimes, plus about twenty 10 oz silver bars. Got quotes from two local shops first, then called US Gold and Coin. Their offer was noticeably higher on both the junk silver and the bars. Payment was fast and the whole experience was professional."
"Converted a small gold bullion portfolio — five 1 oz Canadian Maple Leafs and ten 1 oz Silver Eagles — to cash when gold hit new highs. They locked in the price during our call, sent the shipping kit the same day, and had a wire transfer in my account within 48 hours of receiving the package. Couldn't ask for more."
"Was nervous about mailing coins but their process was seamless — insured shipping both ways, a detailed appraisal call, and same-day payment. Sold a collection of Mercury dimes, Standing Liberty quarters, and a few Carson City Morgans. They knew exactly what each piece was worth."
