How much is my jewellery worth?
It’s always best to bring your items in for a free, no-obligation assessment. Gold and silver jewellery values are affected by the ever-changing precious metal market, which is why it’s best to deal with a reputable dealer like Metro Coin & Banknote who will offer the best price possible.
What is the best way to invest in coins?
Metro Coin and Banknote has a large selection of high quality gold, silver, and copper independently graded and verified that are suitable for any investment portfolio. There is no charge for our advice and recommendations in setting up any size investment portfolio.
Do you take credit cards?
We accept major credit cards on all purchases, excluding bullion items where guaranteed funds are necessary. For the best price, cash is encouraged.
How much do appraisals cost?
There is no charge for a simple verbal appraisal or estimate. For written appraisals the fee varies depending on the amount of time needed. For large collections, it’s best not to visit right at closing.
Do you travel or come to homes or banks to purchase collections?
For more valuable or large collections we will sometimes travel to a client’s home or bank.
Are older coins worth more than newer coins?
Age does not make a coin worth more or less, but rather the amount made that year, the number surviving, and the popularity of the coin. Many coins over a thousand years old are worth less than $10.
Should I clean my coins?
NO!!
Never clean your coins! Cleaning coins always lowers their value.
