Philadelphia pairs a deep numismatic history — it's home to the nation's first mint — with a working market of coin shops and gold buyers across the city and suburbs. You'll find dealers for early American coppers and type coins as well as everyday bullion buying.
Philadelphia, PA
Capo's Coins is a third-generation, family-owned coin shop on East Passyunk Avenue in South Philadelphia, in business since 1966. It buys and sells coins, currency, gold, silver, and jewelry, with expertise passed down through the family rather than learned on a sales floor. The shop is known locally for deep community ties and works by appointment, so a visit is best arranged by phone first.
