My mom wanted to get a estimate on some coins that were left to her. As we walked into the shop we were greeted by a group of friendly people and guided to Lionel. He asked how he could help. That man looked at every single coin as if he was going to find a coin with a flaw. He answered every single question. And the atmosphere in that shop was great. The friendly guys in front talked about everything just like walking into a old fashioned barber shop. And we were given a very fair price on the coins. Most certainly we will be back.

I purchased gold back in 2017 and now made a fantastic profit!!! Best investment I have ever made. The staff is so helpful and helped me sell old coins I had. They have a broad selection of coins to purchase. I highly recommend this store.

After an exhaustive search of Silver eagles online, Lionel was able to beat even the online dealers on price. I'm very familiar with the prices online but Lionel was able to make me a great offer on eagles that I couldn't say no. About a month ago I had come into his shop to get pricing on some of my silver and he took his time to explain all the value contained in my collection. He understood that I was a serious stacker and he made me realize that he was a serious and astute coin dealer. A few weeks after that I made one of my second biggest purchases from him. US 🇺🇸 Eagles.

I had a GREAT experience with Lionel at S.Cal Coin and Stamp . He was able to help me submit two ancient coins to NGC for grading . A successful transaction was completed and my new graded coins arrived without a hitch . It took a while for my return and I knew my coins were safe and in good hands . I will keep returning to his business for his help since he has a tremendous amount of knowledge and doesn’t mind sharing his time . Thanks again . Cheers .

Questions & Answers

I have a 1927 dime coin, is it worth money?

Humberto Orozco | Aug 24, 2020
William Brownsten | Aug 24, 2020

Chris is correct, however grade is everything. If the coin is in circulated grade it's only worth its silver value. Make sure not to make the mistake of cleaning the coin. It destroys its value.

Damon Grigsby | Aug 25, 2019
Chris Broguiere | Aug 25, 2019

It is a good place to get an appraisal but like most places he might charge you. For sale the same thing he's honest and gives you a fair price. Just remember when you take it to a coin shop meaning whatever you want to sell, he's going to knock off 20% so he can make his share.

Why would you tell someone it might be valuable? It's obviously a bicentennial quarter 1776-1976 not 1779-1979. Years ago there was a company that would pay about 45 cents each for them. They are certainly not worth much more than that now, unless high MS or proof.

Not without seeing it and being able to judge it's condition. I would take it to Lionel at southern California coin and stamp and he will give you a professional opinion of your coin. But as far as I know the first silver dollar was made in 1794. So I'm not sure about that coin. Maybe it's something that I've never heard of. Lionel is the pro.

I have a 1939 half dollar coin, a 1910 mexican peso silver coin, a 1797 silver liberty coin, and a 1851 silver coin,a 1991 gold dime and a 1928 buffalo and indian head nickel pennies from 1937,1940, what might there value be.

How much are my 1964 silver quartes worth

DEE LUCKY | Aug 25, 2019
William Brownsten | Aug 25, 2019

1964 quarters contain 6.25 grams of 90% silver. There are 31.10348 grams of precious metals in an ounce so they have approximately, .3617 of an ounce of pure silver if they are uncirculated. If circulated the weight may go down. Typically dealers discount the silver by 85 cents an ounce. As such, if silver is trading for $17.00 an ounce, and you deduct $.85, a dealer will probably pay more than $2.92 for your quarter. Remember they have overhead and need to make a profit to keep their doors open.

Steven Kosako | Aug 25, 2019
William Brownsten | Aug 25, 2019

This is a 40% silver coin. The U.S. mint in San Francisco made them in proof sets which would have an S mint mark. They were also only made for mint sets at the Denver mint. None were made for circulation. PCGS value guide (www.pcgs.com) show values that range from $5.00 up. The melt value of the silver is $2.28. I have found that Southern California Stamp & Coins are fair and honest and a pleasure thilo deal with. They even give free appraisals.
