What We Buy — Gold & Silver Coins Only
Pre-1964 U.S. Silver Coins
90% silver dimes, quarters, half dollars, and dollars — commonly called junk silver. Barber, Mercury, Roosevelt, Walking Liberty, Franklin, Morgan, and Peace dollars. Any quantity.
Morgan & Peace Dollars
One of the most collected series in American numismatics. We evaluate every date, mintmark, and grade — not just the silver content. Key dates and semi-keys paid at full numismatic value.
PCGS, NGC & Other Graded Coins
Slabbed coins in PCGS, NGC, ANACS, or CAC holders. As authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC, we understand certified coin values and pay accordingly — not generic dealer prices.
Pre-33 Gold Coins
Pre-1933 U.S. gold — Liberty Head, Saint-Gaudens, Indian Head — plus modern gold commemoratives. Valued for both numismatic and bullion content, whichever is higher.
Key Dates & Rare Coins
We know key dates and pay full numismatic market value. Don't let someone lowball you on a key date. We do not buy pennies, nickels, or anything that does not contain gold, silver, platinum, or palladium.
Inherited & Estate Collections
Don't know what you have? Bring the whole collection. We'll sort, evaluate, and make a fair offer on the entire lot. We handle estate coin buyouts regularly with patience and accuracy.
Why Collectors & Estates Choose Us
PCGS & NGC Authorized Dealer
We're authorized by the two most trusted grading services in the hobby. That means accurate grading, real market knowledge, and offers based on actual numismatic values — not just a price guide guess.
40+ Years in the Business
Over four decades buying and selling coins in San Antonio. We've seen virtually every series, every key date, and every type of collection — and we price them accurately every time.
Numismatic Value, Not Just Melt
A lot of buyers only pay silver melt on coins that are worth far more. We evaluate every coin for its numismatic premium — key dates, low mintage, high grade — and pay the difference.
Paid Same Day
Accept our offer and walk out with cash the same visit. Single coins or full estate collections, the process is the same — immediate payment, no waiting.
No Pressure Appraisals
We'll evaluate your collection at no charge with zero obligation. You're free to walk out with everything if our offer isn't right for you. We don't pressure anyone.
Open Saturday
Monday–Friday 9AM–5PM and Saturday 9AM–4PM. Most San Antonio coin shops are closed on weekends. We're not.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you determine what my coins are worth?
We evaluate each coin based on series, date, mintmark, condition, and current market demand. For silver coins we factor in both melt value and numismatic premium. For key dates and graded coins we reference current auction results and dealer market pricing — not just a price guide.
Do you pay more than just silver melt value?
Yes — and this is one of the most important things to know before selling. Many buyers only pay melt on coins that are worth significantly more. Key dates, semi-key dates, high-grade examples, and low-mintage coins all carry numismatic premiums above melt. We identify and pay those premiums.
I inherited a coin collection and don't know what I have. Can you help?
Absolutely. Bring the entire collection — folders, albums, tubes, bags, whatever form it's in. We'll sort through everything, identify each coin, and give you an accurate offer on the whole lot. No charge to look, no obligation to sell.
Do you buy PCGS and NGC graded coins?
Yes — we're authorized dealers for both PCGS and NGC. We buy slabbed coins across all series and pay based on current certified coin market values, not generic estimates.
Do I need an appointment?
No appointment needed. Walk in Monday–Friday 9AM–5PM or Saturday 9AM–4PM at 2622 NW Loop 410. For large estate collections, calling ahead at (210) 735-7131 is appreciated so we can give your collection the dedicated time it deserves.
Do you buy world coins and ancient coins?
No. We buy gold and silver coins only. We do not purchase base metal coins that have no precious metal content.
Do you buy pennies, nickels, or common clad coins?
No. We buy gold and silver coins only. We do not purchase pennies, nickels, clad dimes, clad quarters, or other base metal coins that have no precious metal content.

We Buy Rare Coins and Appraise Coins in San Antonio
In-store evaluations and offers for graded coins, rare coins, estate coin collections, and numismatic material in San Antonio.
Selling Rare Coins in San Antonio?
Lone Star Coins has been buying rare coins, graded coins, and estate coin collections in San Antonio for more than 40 years. Sellers bring us everything from single certified coins to inherited collections that need careful explanation.
Collectors and families visit us from across South Texas for in-person coin evaluations. A local coin buyer can review the material with you, point out the value drivers, and make a same-day offer without requiring you to ship coins to an unknown buyer.
Coin Buyer in San Antonio
Lone Star Coins buys individual coins, inherited collections, U.S. type coins, silver dollars, paper money, and certified coins from PCGS and NGC. You can bring in a single coin or a full estate collection for review.
We look at authenticity, grade, scarcity, metal content, recent demand, and the current market before making an offer. The goal is to explain the value drivers clearly, not rush you through the counter.
Rare Coin Buyer in San Antonio
Rare coins are not priced like ordinary bullion. Key dates, condition rarity, holder, eye appeal, and auction comparables can all matter. We evaluate those factors when a coin has collectible value beyond its metal content.
As PCGS and NGC authorized dealers, we understand the certified coin market and can help separate common material from pieces that deserve closer numismatic attention.
Coin Appraisal in San Antonio
We provide professional evaluations for coins and collections, including estate situations where families need a clear explanation of what they have. We do not represent our in-store opinion as third-party grading; formal grading is handled by services such as PCGS and NGC.
If a coin may benefit from certification, we can explain why grading might matter and how it could affect marketability.
Why Coin Sellers Choose Lone Star Coins
Coin sellers need more than a melt-value quote. We look at collector demand, third-party holders, key dates, condition, eye appeal, liquidity, and current market comps when those factors matter.
That local review helps San Antonio sellers avoid shipping valuable coins, waiting on remote appraisals, or accepting a generic offer that misses numismatic value.
Common Questions
Do you appraise inherited coin collections?+
Yes. We evaluate inherited and estate coin collections and explain the major value drivers in plain language.
Do you grade coins in-house?+
No. We evaluate coins and buy certified material, but formal grading is performed by third-party services such as PCGS and NGC.
Do you buy ungraded rare coins?+
Yes. We evaluate raw and certified coins, then explain whether certification may be relevant to the value.
