About DC Coin Buyers
Our Story
DC Coin Buyers was founded with a simple but powerful vision: to provide the residents of Washington, DC with a trustworthy, professional, and straightforward place to buy and sell coins, gold, silver, and other precious items. In a city known for its history, culture, and financial institutions, we saw the need for a reliable coin buyer that treats every client with fairness and respect.
From the very beginning, our focus has been on building lasting relationships with the community. Many of our earliest clients came to us with collections handed down through generations—family heirlooms that held both monetary and sentimental value. They weren’t just looking for a transaction; they were looking for a trusted advisor who could guide them through the process, explain the true worth of their items, and give them peace of mind.
Over the years, DC Coin Buyers has grown from a small local service to one of the most respected names in the Washington, DC area. What has remained constant, however, is our dedication to transparency, professionalism, and personalized service. Every collection we appraise, whether it’s a single rare coin or a lifetime of collecting, is handled with the same level of care and attention.
Our Mission
Our mission at DC Coin Buyers is clear: to provide our clients with a seamless, honest, and rewarding experience when buying or selling coins and precious metals. We know that the coin and bullion market can feel intimidating, especially with fluctuating values and an overwhelming amount of information online. That’s why we have built our business around education and clarity.
When clients walk into our Washington, DC office—or schedule a discreet home appointment—they can expect more than just a price quote. They receive a thorough explanation of the appraisal process, an honest assessment of current market conditions, and practical guidance on whether selling, holding, or expanding their collection is the best choice.
Our mission is also centered on accessibility. Whether you’re an experienced collector with rare and high-value coins, or someone who just inherited a small collection and doesn’t know where to start, DC Coin Buyers is here to help. We serve every client with the same level of expertise and integrity, ensuring that each transaction is both fair and beneficial.
