About Richmond Coin Buyers
Our Story
Richmond Coin Buyers began with a simple goal: to make coin dealing honest, transparent, and personal again. Founded by local numismatists who shared a deep respect for both history and value, we built our business on trust. Every coin tells a story, and we wanted to create a place in Richmond where people could share those stories while getting fair, professional evaluations.
Here’s why that matters. For years, coin collectors and sellers in Central Virginia had few options for reliable in-person evaluations. Many were either pawn shops that lowballed prices or online marketplaces that stripped away the human connection. Richmond Coin Buyers changed that. We combined expert appraisals with friendly, no-pressure service so every client—from seasoned investors to first-time sellers—feels respected and informed.
Over the years, we’ve earned a strong reputation across Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, and beyond. We’ve helped families appraise inherited coin collections, assisted investors in building diversified portfolios, and guided hobbyists in identifying rare pieces worth far more than they realized. Today, our office stands as one of Virginia’s most trusted destinations for buying, selling, and appraising coins, gold, and silver.
Our Mission
At Richmond Coin Buyers, our mission is clear: provide a safe, transparent, and educational experience for anyone looking to buy, sell, or appraise coins, gold, or silver in Richmond, VA. We’re here to protect your interests and help you make informed decisions about your valuables.
Here’s what drives us. We believe coin buying isn’t just about money—it’s about history, craftsmanship, and legacy. Our goal is to connect the past with the present by helping people uncover the stories and true market value behind each coin. Every transaction is guided by integrity, precision, and respect.
We’re also committed to making the process simple. Many people feel overwhelmed when they decide to sell their coins or jewelry. That’s why we walk every customer through each step—explaining current market rates, how we test and authenticate metals, and how we determine pricing. You’ll never leave guessing what your items are worth or why.
Our mission also includes community involvement. We sponsor local events, support educational programs that teach about U.S. coin history, and donate to veterans’ causes in Virginia. We believe a local business should serve the community that supports it.
Our Values
Values guide every interaction at Richmond Coin Buyers. They’re not slogans—they’re standards we live by every day.
1. Integrity Above All
We believe honesty is the foundation of every transaction. Our appraisers never use high-pressure tactics or vague pricing. Every offer reflects current market conditions, verified testing, and clear communication. When you sell to us, you get full transparency—no hidden fees, no surprises.
2. Expertise You Can Trust
We stay current on market trends, grading standards, and spot prices for gold and silver. Our appraisers are trained numismatists who understand both the historical and intrinsic value of coins. Whether it’s a rare Morgan dollar or a modern bullion round, we approach every item with care and accuracy.
3. Respect for Every Client
We know every customer’s situation is unique. Some sell coins to settle estates; others are building long-term investment portfolios. Our role is to listen, not rush. We give you the time, space, and respect to make the decision that feels right.
4. Education and Transparency
We don’t just buy—we teach. Many people come to us unsure of what they have, and that’s okay. We walk you through the identification and valuation process, explaining what makes certain coins valuable. You’ll leave not only with cash in hand but also with real knowledge about your items.
5. Community Commitment
As a local Richmond business, we take pride in giving back. From participating in charity auctions to offering free educational coin appraisals for schools and senior centers, we stay active in strengthening our community ties.
6. Confidentiality and Discretion
We understand that privacy matters. All transactions—whether in-store or through home appointments—are handled with complete discretion. We never share client information or details of collections. Your security is always our priority.
Our Commitment
Richmond Coin Buyers is committed to three key promises: fairness, education, and service. These promises guide how we interact with every customer, every day.
Fairness You Can Feel
We believe everyone deserves fair value for their gold, silver, or coins. That means we pay competitive rates that reflect real market prices, not inflated or outdated numbers. Our appraisers use professional testing equipment to determine purity and weight, ensuring complete accuracy. You’ll see the process firsthand, so you know exactly how we reach our offer.
Here is why it matters. In many industries, sellers have to take a buyer’s word for it. We remove the guesswork. By showing you each step—from weighing to testing—we prove that honesty still exists in this business.
Education That Empowers
We don’t want you to walk out simply with cash. We want you to leave informed. Our appraisers explain every detail of your collection—rarity, condition, demand, and market value. You’ll understand what you have and why it matters. Even if you decide not to sell, you’ll gain insight that helps you make better decisions later.
We also publish educational resources on our website, host local coin events, and answer questions from Richmond residents who just want to learn. That commitment to education keeps our community strong and informed.
Service That Sets a Standard
From the moment you contact us to the moment you complete your transaction, you’ll experience a level of professionalism that defines our brand. We keep appointments punctual, paperwork simple, and payments immediate.
