Vic was amazing! Took my old inherited collection of coins, took the time to walk through with me and paid a very fair price. Honest and trustworthy….Highly Recommend doing business with him!

Just stopped by Vic’s Coin Shop. Easy to find. Same parking lot as the Three Flames Restaurant. Nice clean shop. I got a good education in coinage that I had brought in. I got good value for my coins for silver and a couple that might be for collectors. The coins that weren’t acceptable will be used for emergency cash and turned into a bank for currency.

I wanted to get my coins appraised and sell my proof sets. Owner completely dismissed me. I did not like that experience one bit. Someone else will have my business in the future.

I have a 1964 mint misprint in acceptable condition. The rim is higher than the middle of the coin and the words are cut off. How much could this be worth?

Pet Pals | Sep 1, 2021
VIC'S COIN SHOP | Sep 1, 2021

Hi Pet Pals, It sounds very cool, but we don’t deal in misprints/errors, they usually need to go up for auction to find out what a collector is willing to pay. Give me a call if you have additional questions. Good luck and take care. -Vic

I have 13 Non mint presidential coins. Don't know what they are made of or they were made. There are no monetary signs or "In God We Trust" on these coins. Do you have any idea where I can look for information? Ebay seems to only have minted coins.

Hi there, We Buy Gold and Silver American Coins and Silver Bullion, some stamps are very valuable so it’s worth looking into. Good luck to you and have a good day. -Vic

You "deal in Silver and Gold American Coins and silver bullion" but I can't see a confirmation if you deal with graded silver coins specifically. Would you be interested in buying/trading graded silver eagles? Thanks for your time!

Billiam Byte | Sep 1, 2021
VIC'S COIN SHOP | Sep 1, 2021

Hi Billiam, As much as I like them personally, we don't get a lot of demand from the customers for modern/new collectibles. If they were old silver dollars then being graded would increase the demand, but with silver eagles I only get demand for them ungraded, because they can be acquired at a lower price and that’s generally why people buy new coins versus old coins in our experience. Feel free to give me a call if you’d like to continue the conversation. Take care. -Vic

how much is a 1971fifty cent peace worth

Ricky Bagnati | Sep 1, 2021
VIC'S COIN SHOP | Sep 1, 2021

Hi Ricky, Typically you can go to the bank or any coin shop and get a 1971 or newer half dollar for fifty cents, because they’re not silver and they minted hundreds of millions of them. They did strike a few on silver planchets that are extremely rare, feel free to give me a call if you have any additional questions, take care. -Vic

I have a half dollars from 1876 how much it's worth and some from 1971

Hi Jeff, We’re doing half days during the state color tiers, we always keep google up-to-date if you’re ever curious. Thank you - Vic

Hi Vic - we are watching for your re-opening to bring in old coins, but to save time, some questions: Do you buy mint sets? Paper money (uncirc. $2)? Uncirc. state quarters? Uncirc. Pres. dollars? Boxes to hold collections? Thanks.

Evelyn Mitsunaga | Sep 1, 2020
VIC'S COIN SHOP | Sep 1, 2021

Hi Evelyn, thanks for thinking of us. We Buy and Sell Silver and Gold American Coins and Silver Bullion Bars and Rounds (excluding proof and mints sets due to low demand).

What do u need to bring with u if u want to sell coins u need I'd or anything . And also how can I tell if my coins worth anything

Julie Montenegro | Sep 1, 2020
VIC'S COIN SHOP | Sep 1, 2021

Hi Julie, all you need is a valid form of identification, like a drivers license or passport. Also, there’s different ways to tell if your coins are valuable, you could always type it into eBay and see what prices people are selling the same item for. If it’s dated 1964 or earlier (and it’s not a penny or nickel) then it’s made with silver or gold, that’s the type of coins we deal in, as well as newer silver and gold like American Eagle’s or bullion bars and ounces. Feel free to give me a call or stop by if you’d like to continue the conversation, take care. Thanks - Vic

Hi I have a dollar Sacagawea coin from the year 2000 I was wondering how much that it worth

Teresa cervantes | Sep 2, 2019
VIC'S COIN SHOP | Sep 2, 2019

Hi Teresa, We Buy and Sell Gold and Silver American Coins. Appraising a coin without looking at it isn't really possible, the condition is a major factor. I see in the coin book that they made over 1 Billion in the year 2000. I like copper and nickel coins like your modern dollar, but don't get any demand. Feel free to stop by anytime and good luck. Take care. Vic :) P.S. As for Kathy and the Kennedy, there's only a handful known to exist and the last one sold at auction for nearly $50k. The coin would need to be sent to PCGS or NGC for grading and authentication before being put up for auction. Good luck to you. -Vic

Hey I bought some silver Walkers a little more than a year ago, and I received some coin flips along with them. I was just wondering if the coin flips contain any PVC and would harm the coins if stored for a long time? Thanks!

K | Sep 2, 2019
VIC'S COIN SHOP | Sep 2, 2019

Hi DBK, most plastic coin flips contain pvc and oils and are not good for long term storage. I've seen these holders turn coins green after many years. We use and sell the brand name SAFLIP. They're made of Polyethylene Terephthalate, they contain no pvc or oils and are good for long term storage. Stop by the shop if you'd like to check them out and continue the conversation. Have a great day. -Vic
