Witter Coin

San Francisco, CA

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.

Buying and selling coins in San Francisco, CA

Two different things get called "selling coins," and they're priced in opposite ways. Bullion — Silver Eagles, gold coins, bars — tracks the live metal price, so the spread between shops is usually small. Collectible coins are priced on date, mint, and grade, where one shop's offer can beat another's by a wide margin.

For anything you think is collectible, get two or three offers before you sell, and ask whether the buyer is an ANA member or an authorized PCGS / NGC dealer — a quick signal they grade to a recognized standard. And don't clean coins: it feels helpful and almost always lowers what a dealer can pay.
