Thank you for taking the time to complete a review for American Rare Coin and especially for your visit to our Bloomington showroom location. It is often where we can be much more specific as to the value of one's coins when we can actually see and physically evaluate the coin(s). Doing so allows us to assign a much better grade based upon the condition of the coin. Thanks again for your visit and we hope to see you again soon! Matt Abbott President, American Rare Coin

Description of Work: I went there twice with several coins and was impressed both with their knowledge and honesty. They explained why some were face value and the coins that were worth more and why. I decided to sell them on the spot and was given a check right away. I would recommend them.

I had won a gold coin several years ago in a contest and with gold prices so high, I decided now would be a good time to sell. However, it turns out it's harder than you might think to get a good price for your gold. I looked into the gold buying services, then contacted a jewelry store (offering a "50% bonus" for one weekend--they offered me about $600 for the coin). I kept searching and finally found American Rare Coin. Their website has all the current info, including buy prices (hard to pin most companies down on this) and they responded same-day when I emailed them a question. I went in to see them on a Saturday morning. They examined the coin and offered me over $900 for it (basically, about $15 less than the spot gold price). I accepted, they photocopied my license and cut me a check. In and out in about half an hour. They were friendly, low-pressure, and honest. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Sold them a solid gold coin.

After searching on the Internet and not having much luck, I turned to Angie's list looking for a coin dealer. I really liked American Rare Coin's web site. They were very up front with prices and what would be considered special coins. I sent them an email with some examples of what I had (proof sets and misc coins from the early 1900's) and they said to just stop by any time. That was probably a mistake. They seem to do better if you make an appointment. The person who helped me was not the most knowledgeable, but he did ask for help when he couldn't answer a question. The experts seemed to all be busy with other customers. Next time I would make an appointment.
Description of Work: My father had a few bags of miscellaneous coins that he told me to sell.
