We buy what we know.
Whether it's one coin found in a drawer or an estate built over a lifetime, we buy outright — examined in person, valued honestly, and paid on the spot, the way three generations of Mobile families have trusted us to do it. Private appointments available for substantial collections. Free appraisals, as we've offered since 1963.

How it works
Simple, transparent, and done while you wait.
Bring it in
Stop by the showroom on Government Blvd — no appointment needed. Prefer to start from home? Email a few photos. Bringing a large collection or estate? Please come in before 2 PM so we can give it the time it deserves.
Evaluated in front of you
We examine each piece at the counter and walk you through what we see — the metal, the maker, the market. If a closer look is ever needed, we'll always ask first.
A fair, honest offer
Our offer reflects current metal and collector markets and three generations of knowing what things are really worth. We work hard to make the strongest offers in town — if you've priced it elsewhere, bring the quote. We're glad to be your second opinion.
Paid on the spot
Accept and walk out paid the same day. No consignment, no waiting, no pressure.
Word travels in Mobile.
Three generations of knowing what it's worth.
Anyone can quote the day's scrap price. We've spent decades learning the difference between melt and a piece worth far more — the mint mark, the maker's mark, the movement, the era. You get that expertise working for you, not against you.
Family-owned and operated on Government Blvd since 1963.

Not sure what you have?
That's exactly what we're here for. Inherited a safe-deposit box you've never sorted? Bring it as-is — that's most of what walks through our door. We're glad to look, even if you're just curious.
Broken or worn
Damaged jewelry, single earrings, and scrap still hold real metal value.
Inherited & unsure
Bring grandpa's box of coins or a jewelry drawer — we'll sort it with you.
One piece or a thousand
A lone silver dollar or a lifetime collection both get the same care.
Whole estates
Settling an estate? We handle the entire process, discreetly and fairly.
Dealer & wholesale pricing.
If you hold a business license, we buy and sell at trade pricing — tighter margins, straight answers, and settlement on the spot. Jewelers, pawnbrokers, estate liquidators, and fellow coin dealers: bring your license and ask.
