Witter Coin

San Francisco, CA

4.9(1093)

Witter Coin has bought coins in San Francisco since 1960 and describes itself as the Bay Area's leading buyer of old coins, coin collections, gold and silver, old gold jewelry, paper money, and Rolex watches. It handles collections ranging from a few dollars to well over a million, which is a wider span than most shops will take on, and its professional numismatists examine and authenticate material in the showroom while the seller is present rather than behind a closed door. The team then explains what they will pay and answers questions before anything changes hands. Inventory covers United States coins, Morgan and silver dollars, gold, commemoratives, ancients, and medals, and the shop carries collector supplies as well.

San Diego Coin & Bullion

San Diego, CA

4.5(182)

San Diego Coin & Bullion buys and sells gold, silver, and platinum bullion in both bar and coin form, along with ancient coins, United States coins, and currency, serving the county from Chula Vista up to Del Mar. The mix is broader than most bullion counters: type coins, commemoratives, certified material, world and ancient issues, and paper money sit alongside the Eagles and bars. The shop offers gold authentication as a service in its own right, which is worth knowing for anyone holding a piece of uncertain origin and not ready to sell it. Staff describe their role as guiding first-time buyers through the process rather than simply quoting a spread, and the business also handles collection liquidations and cash-for-gold transactions on site.

Encore Gold and Coin

Rocklin, CA

4.9(119)

Encore Gold and Coin is a family-owned dealer in Rocklin, northeast of Sacramento, handling gold, silver, platinum, palladium, coins, currency, jewelry, numismatics, bullion, and scrap metals. It is a member of both PCGS and NGC. Beyond buying and selling it offers estate and collection appraisals and, unusually for a shop this size, publishes grading, authentication, and counterfeit detection as a named service rather than something done quietly in the back. That matters to anyone holding a piece they suspect is not what it claims to be. The business leads on transparent transactions and fair market pricing, and keeps a storefront for walk-in visits.

Coin Connection

Studio City, CA

4.4(139)

Coin Connection is a Studio City dealer in numismatic rare coins, bullion, and precious metals, trading under the pre1933 name that points at its focus: United States gold struck before the 1933 recall, including Saint-Gaudens double eagles, alongside Morgan and Peace silver dollars. Its appraisers specialize in numismatics and evaluate both coins and notes, and the shop handles estate and inherited material as well as walk-in sales. Inventory spans type coins, commemoratives, world coins, currency, and modern silver and gold Eagles, so it serves an investor buying bullion and a collector filling a date set from the same counter. The site publishes background on the coins it sells rather than listings alone, which is a useful sign for a first-time buyer trying to learn what they are looking at.
