WHY LINCOLN PARK RESIDENTS CHOOSE US OVER DOWNTOWN

Many Lincoln Park residents assume downtown is the best place to sell gold or coins—but it often comes with problems:

PLACES NOT TO SELL COINS AROUND LINCOLN PARK

If you’re serious about getting fair value, avoid common mistakes:

  • Jewelry stores & pawn shops – They usually only understand the gold or silver metal value and pay only a small fraction of what collectible coins are worth.

  • eBay & online marketplaces – While coins sell online every day, it’s risky, time-consuming, and full of fees. Counterfeits and chargebacks are common.

  • “Sell coins near me” searches – Many local ads lead to middlemen or pop-up buyers who pay far less than reputable dealers.

Instead, work directly with a certified, long-established coin dealer who values both the metal and the numismatic rarity.
