About US

Since August 2008, we have been a full service coin shop and a place to convert unwanted gold and silver jewelry, sterling flatware, pocket watches, coins, currency, and other collectibles to cash.

Since most of our business is through word-of-mouth from our satisfied clients throughout all of Connecticut (which includes doctors, lawyers, police officers, and town officials), we keep our advertising costs low and can pay you more.

We take pride in that we are not a pawn shop and treat our customers fairly, discreetly, and professionally.Since we've been open, we've had many clients from all professions visit us. Those people have recommended their friends and family to come to us when they need to sell something.

Don is our staff numismatist with over 30 years experience in coins and currency, grading and authentication, and market valuation. When not at the shop, he is busy writing computer software for town clerks in Rhode Island.

Steve is our resident retired police officer and has an outstanding funny personality that warms everyone's hearts.

Why did we pick Portland to open a store? Opening a store in Rhode Island was not an option, since their precious metal laws requires the dealer to hold the item(s) for 14 days. Because the market can change drastically in that period, it forces the dealer to pay very low to the customer.

We didn't want to be a part of that.

We looked for an area in CT that had a lot of people and didn't have competition. After research, Middletown/Portland area turned out to be a good area. And as it turns out, Portland and the surrounding towns are an excellent area and the people are wonderful. We get a lot of people from East Hampton, Cromwell, Durham, and Glastonbury.
