Get Your Free QuoteTwo Values, One Coin
If you want to sell coins in Tyler, you have a decision to make before you hand anything over. Coins carry two different values at the same time. One is the metal. The other is what a collector will pay. Most places that buy coins in East Texas only pay for the first one.
US Gold and Coin buys gold coins, silver coins, bullion, and complete collections from sellers across Tyler and Smith County. We appraise for both melt value and collector value, we tell you which one applies to each piece, and we make a written offer you are free to walk away from.
Call 888-284-6120 to set up a free appraisal, or send photos through our free quote form and we will give you a range before you drive anywhere.
Where to Sell Coins in Tyler
Tyler sellers usually run through the same short list. Here is how those options actually pay out.
Pawn shops
A pawn shop on Broadway or Gentry Parkway will weigh your gold and offer a percentage of melt. That is a fast transaction and a fine one for a broken chain. It is the wrong place for an 1893-S Morgan dollar, because the counter staff has no reason to price the date.
Jewelry stores
Jewelers buy for scrap. They send metal to a refiner and take a margin on the way. A jeweler will rarely pay a numismatic premium because reselling collector coins is not their business.
Online marketplaces
eBay can produce strong prices on graded coins. It also takes final value fees, shipping, insurance, and roughly two weeks of your time, and it exposes you to chargebacks on high-ticket items. Raw coins photographed on a kitchen table sell for less than they are worth.
Coin shows and Canton
First Monday Trade Days in Canton sits about 35 minutes northwest of Tyler and moves a lot of coins. Prices swing wildly. Some dealers there pay well. Others count on sellers not knowing what a common date is worth. If you go, get an appraisal first so you know when to say no.
A dedicated coin and precious metals buyer
This is what we do. We price the metal against live spot, price the numismatics against recent auction and dealer records, and pay whichever is higher on each piece. You get an itemized breakdown instead of a single number on a scrap of paper.
From Single Coins to Entire Estates
Gold Coins & Bullion
We purchase American Gold Eagles and Gold Buffaloes in any year or fraction, South African Krugerrands, Canadian Maple Leafs, and Austrian Philharmonics. Pre-1933 U.S. gold moves through East Texas more often than most people expect: $20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles, Liberty Head double eagles, and Indian Head quarter and half eagles. We also buy gold bars from PAMP Suisse, Credit Suisse, the Perth Mint, Valcambi, and generic pours in sizes from one gram upward. Every gold item is tested for purity on site and evaluated against both melt value and collector premium, because a scarce date or a high grade can be worth several multiples of spot.

Silver Coins & Bars
Morgan and Peace dollars are the single most common thing we appraise in Smith County, from common dates through the scarce mintmarks. We buy pre-1965 dimes, quarters, and half dollars, along with 40 percent Kennedy halves, commonly called junk silver. Modern bullion including American Silver Eagles, silver rounds, and 10 oz or 100 oz bars from Engelhard, Johnson Matthey, and Sunshine Minting are purchased against live spot. Sterling flatware, hollowware, tea services, and marked sterling jewelry are welcome. Tyler families are often surprised by the metal value sitting in an inherited silver chest.

Rare & Graded Coins
Collector coins require someone who reads the date before reaching for the scale. We identify key dates, mint errors, repunched mintmarks, and die varieties that move the number. That includes Carson City Morgan dollars, early type coins across the Draped Bust, Capped Bust, and Seated Liberty series, classic commemorative half dollars, and complete proof and mint sets. Coins encapsulated by PCGS or NGC price against recent Heritage and GreatCollections records rather than an outdated Red Book. We evaluate raw coins too and will tell you when a piece is worth submitting for grading before it sells.

Estate Collections
Inherited coins are the most common reason people in Tyler call us. You do not need to sort, clean, or catalog anything first. Bring the coffee cans, the blue Whitman folders, the safe deposit box contents, all of it. We work with families, executors, and estate attorneys across Smith County, inventory the collection in front of you, and price it piece by piece. There is no minimum and no maximum. We provide a written appraisal and a single offer for the lot, and we answer questions about individual pieces along the way.

East Texas has a particular coin history, and it shows up in what people bring us.
The 1930s oil boom pushed cash through Kilgore, Longview, and Tyler at a moment when silver dollars still circulated here. Families who came up through that period held silver, and a lot of it never left the house. Morgan and Peace dollars are the single most common thing we appraise from Smith County and the counties around it.
Tyler also has a large retired population around Hollytree, Hideaway, and the Lake Tyler and Lake Palestine communities. Collections assembled in the 1960s through the 1980s show up regularly: complete Whitman albums, mint and proof sets bought straight from the Mint, and bags of 90 percent silver put away when the composition changed in 1965.
None of that guarantees your collection is worth a fortune. Plenty of mid-century albums hold common dates in circulated grades and price close to melt. But the only way to know is to have someone open the folder who knows which holes matter. Our inherited coin guide walks through what to look for before you call anyone.
How We Price Your Coins
Coin buying gets a bad reputation because too many buyers refuse to explain the number. Here is our arithmetic.
Step one: metal value
We calculate actual precious metal weight against the live spot price at the moment you sit down. A 1922 Peace dollar contains 0.7734 troy ounces of silver. Ninety percent silver coinage contains 0.715 troy ounces per dollar of face value. Those figures are fixed and public. Run them yourself with our silver melt value calculator or our gold price calculator.
Step two: numismatic value
Then we look at date, mintmark, grade, and eye appeal against recent sold prices. A 1921 Morgan trades near melt. An 1889-CC in the same condition trades for thousands. Same coin, same silver, entirely different offer.
Step three: we pay the higher of the two
Coin by coin. Not by the pound, and not by the average. Our payout on bullion and generic silver runs as a percentage of spot, and that percentage moves with the market. Premiums widen when physical demand spikes and compress when it cools. We quote you the number in force the day you sell, not a stale figure from a printed sheet.
How Selling Works
Get In Touch
Call 888-284-6120 or send photos through the quote form. Tell us roughly what you have. We schedule a Tyler appraisal appointment, a visit to our Dallas office, or an insured mail-in kit.
We Appraise On The Spot
Our buyer sorts, tests, and prices your material while you watch. You get a written offer, itemized, with the reasoning behind each line. No expiration timer and no pressure.
Same-Day Payment
Accept and choose cash, check, or wire transfer. If you decline, we hand your coins back and thank you for your time. That happens, and it is fine.
Mistakes That Cost Tyler Sellers Money
Cleaning the coins
Do not do it. A polished Morgan dollar can lose most of its collector premium in thirty seconds with a rag. Toning and original surfaces are what graders reward. Leave the dirt.
Selling a set piece by piece
Complete date runs and matched proof sets carry a premium as a unit. Breaking them up to sell the two coins that look nicest destroys that premium permanently.
Letting a buyer weigh collector coins
If a buyer puts your coins on a scale before looking at the dates, you are being paid for scrap. Walk out. That is the single most expensive mistake we see.
Taking the first offer without a second look
Get two appraisals on anything you believe is worth more than a few hundred dollars. We say that knowing some sellers will take the other offer. A seller who understands the number is a seller who comes back.
Mailing raw coins uninsured
If you ship, insure for full value and use a signature service. Our mail-in kits include insured, tracked shipping in both directions.
