What We Buy
Items We Purchase in Honolulu
We buy coins, bullion, jewelry, and precious metals that have real market value — whether that's based on metal content, rarity, or collector demand. If your items have value, we'll find it and pay you fairly.
Gold Coins
- American Gold Eagles (all sizes)
- Canadian Gold Maple Leafs
- South African Krugerrands
- Pre-1933 U.S. gold ($1, $2.50, $5, $10, $20)
- Saint-Gaudens Double Eagles
- Liberty Head gold coins
- Sovereign gold coins (British, Australian, etc.)
- Modern commemorative gold coins
Every gold coin is evaluated for both its bullion content and numismatic premium. A high-grade Saint-Gaudens or key-date Liberty Head can be worth multiples of its gold weight.
Silver Coins
- Morgan Silver Dollars (1878–1921)
- Peace Silver Dollars (1921–1935)
- Walking Liberty Half Dollars
- Mercury Dimes
- Pre-1965 U.S. 90% silver coins
- Barber series (dimes, quarters, halves)
- Franklin Half Dollars
- Foreign silver coins
Many sellers don't realize a single low-mintage or error coin can be worth hundreds beyond its silver content. Our numismatists catch those premiums so you get paid correctly.
Rare & Collectible Coins
- Key dates and semi-key dates from any series
- Proof coins and proof sets
- Error coins and die varieties
- Early U.S. Mint issues (pre-1850)
- PCGS and NGC certified/graded coins
- Mint sets and special issue sets
- Colonial and territorial coins
We pay collector premiums — not just melt value. If a coin has numismatic significance, our offer reflects that.
Gold & Silver Bullion
- Gold bars (1g to 1kg, any refiner)
- Silver bars (1oz to 100oz)
- Gold and silver rounds
- PAMP Suisse, Credit Suisse, Perth Mint, Valcambi
- Generic and branded bullion
We test purity on-site and pay based on current spot prices. If you bought bullion as an investment and you're ready to cash out, we make it simple.
Platinum & Palladium
- Platinum Eagles and Maple Leafs
- Platinum bars and rounds
- Palladium Eagles and bullion
- Platinum and palladium jewelry
Often overlooked, but these metals carry real value at today's spot prices. We test and quote on the spot.
Jewelry & Scrap Gold
- Gold rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings
- Broken or damaged gold jewelry
- Dental gold
- 10K, 14K, 18K, and 24K gold in any condition
- Sterling silver jewelry and flatware
- Scrap gold and silver
We test every item for karat purity and weigh it in front of you. Old or damaged jewelry often holds more value than people expect.
Paper Currency
- Large-size U.S. notes (pre-1929)
- Star notes and error notes
- Silver Certificates
- Gold Certificates
- National Bank Notes
- Confederate currency
- High-denomination notes ($500, $1,000+)
Not all paper currency has premium value, but rare notes — especially large-size, star, and high-denomination bills — can be worth significantly more than face value.
Setting Expectations
Not Everything Is a Hidden Treasure
We get it — you found a box of old coins in a closet, inherited a collection, or noticed something unusual in your change. It's natural to wonder if they're valuable. In some cases, they absolutely are. But many common coins that look or feel old simply aren't worth more than face value.
We're happy to take a look at anything you're unsure about — that's what free appraisals are for. But to save you a trip, here are some items that rarely carry a premium:
Wheat Pennies (1909–1958)
Most wheat pennies are worth 3–10 cents each. A few rare dates (like 1909-S VDB or 1914-D) have real value, but the vast majority do not carry a meaningful premium.
Presidential Dollar Coins
These were produced in very large quantities and are generally worth face value ($1). They're interesting to collect but don't carry a buy premium.
State & National Park Quarters
Produced by the billions. Worth 25 cents in almost all cases. Some proof or silver versions have modest premiums, but circulated examples do not.
Bicentennial Coins (1976)
The special 1776–1976 quarters, halves, and dollars were made in huge numbers. Circulated examples are worth face value. Silver or proof versions may carry a small premium.
Modern Circulated Coins
Post-1965 dimes, quarters, and half dollars from circulation contain no silver and are worth face value only.
Eisenhower Dollars (1971–1978)
Common dates are worth $1–$2. The 40% silver versions (1971-S, 1972-S, etc.) do have some silver value.
The exception to every rule: Even within these categories, there are occasional standouts — error coins, silver proofs, or rare die varieties that do carry value. If you're not sure, bring them in or send us photos. We'll tell you honestly whether it's worth pursuing, and there's never a charge for our opinion.
Not Sure What You Have?
Bring it in or call us. Every appraisal is free, and there's never any pressure to sell. We'll tell you exactly what your items are worth — even if the answer is "hold onto them."
