Located in the heart of San Francisco, we’ve built our reputation on honesty, precision, and professionalism. Our team includes seasoned numismatists and precious metal experts who evaluate every item with care and integrity.
Unlike pawn shops that operate on margins, we connect your coins and gold directly with national and international collectors, investors, and bullion buyers. This ensures you receive the most competitive cash offers possible. Whether you inherited a collection, found old coins during estate cleanout, or want to sell bullion for liquidity, we handle every transaction discreetly and efficiently.
Our process is simple: free evaluation, transparent market-based pricing, and instant payment. Sellers across San Francisco—whether from Pacific Heights, the Sunset District, or Daly City—trust us because we treat every piece with the respect it deserves.
Why Sellers Trust Us Over Pawn Shops & Dealers
Direct-to-market pricing:
We skip the middlemen. Our extensive network of buyers—ranging from serious collectors to global bullion traders—means your coins and gold go straight to the top-paying market. Pawn shops typically pay 40–60% of true market value. We consistently offer 85–100% of current market rates depending on the item’s rarity and demand.
We also stay updated with live spot prices, ensuring your payout reflects real-time market data. This means when gold spikes, your offer does too.
Thousands of real buyers:
Over the years, San Francisco Coin Buyers has cultivated a large, active buyer network across California and beyond. From local collectors in Marin County to investors in Los Angeles and New York, our database includes thousands of verified buyers ready to purchase your items.
This direct access allows us to place specialized pieces quickly and at full value. Whether you have a Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle or pre-1964 silver coins, our reach ensures strong competition for your assets.
Transparent value assessments:
We believe you deserve to know exactly how your offer is calculated. During each appraisal, we explain the weight, purity, rarity, and current demand driving your valuation. We use professional-grade scales, XRF metal analyzers, and industry-standard price charts for full accuracy.
You’ll never face hidden fees, vague pricing, or pressure tactics. Our transparency ensures complete confidence in every sale.
Track record of top results:
Our reputation has been earned through years of consistent, fair dealings across San Francisco and the greater Bay Area. Sellers frequently return and refer friends because our results speak for themselves. Many of our customers report receiving offers 25–40% higher than pawn or jewelry shops offered them elsewhere.
We’re also accredited by trusted organizations in the numismatic and bullion community, reinforcing our commitment to professionalism and trust.

Why Sell Coins?
Selling coins can free up capital, declutter estates, or convert long-held collections into liquid assets. Many people inherit coins without realizing their potential value. Even everyday-looking coins can hold significant worth due to metal content, mint year, or limited mintage.
Gold and silver prices fluctuate daily, creating opportunities to sell at favorable market peaks. Beyond financial reasons, selling to a professional coin buyer ensures your items are preserved, valued correctly, and often resold to passionate collectors who appreciate their history.
At San Francisco Coin Buyers, we guide sellers through every step—from explaining market timing to comparing recent auction data. You’ll know when and why it’s the right time to sell.
Types of Coins We Buy
Gold Coins
Gold coins represent both intrinsic and collectible value. We buy U.S. Gold Eagles, Buffaloes, Pre-1933 coins, British Sovereigns, and international bullion coins. Each coin is evaluated for weight, purity, and condition. Even circulated or scratched pieces hold significant melt value.
San Francisco’s legacy as a historic gold rush city gives us unique appreciation for these assets. We often purchase coins that date back to the mid-1800s, minted during California’s early gold mining era. Sellers can rest assured knowing they’re working with professionals who understand both the historical and market worth of each coin.
Silver Coins
Silver remains a favorite among both collectors and investors due to its affordability and potential upside. We purchase pre-1965 U.S. coins containing 90% silver, as well as modern bullion like Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs, and foreign mint issues.
Even loose or worn coins carry melt value tied to daily spot prices. Whether you’re liquidating a small stash or a lifelong collection, our transparent pricing and real-time market references ensure you get the most out of your silver holdings.
Rare Coins
We specialize in rare and collectible coins that carry value far beyond their metal content. This includes key-date U.S. Mint issues, ancient coins, error coins, proof sets, and foreign rarities. Our numismatic experts assess rarity based on mintage, demand, and condition using grading standards recognized by NGC and PCGS.
San Francisco Coin Buyers has placed countless high-value coins with collectors nationwide. We maintain a network of serious buyers who compete for unique pieces—ensuring your rare coins command premium offers.
Market Timing and Professional Guidance
Selling at the right time can significantly increase your return. Precious metals and collectible markets shift with economic conditions, interest rates, and investor demand. Our professionals monitor these trends daily, giving you insight into when to act.
For example, during inflationary periods, gold and silver prices often rise as investors seek stability. Likewise, rare coin values can climb following major auctions or collector events. We provide clear, data-driven advice so you can sell with confidence.
Our team also helps clients understand long-term value trends, showing historical charts and projections. Whether your goal is immediate liquidity or strategic profit-taking, our guidance ensures each transaction aligns with your goals.
