North Carolina's precious-metals business rules exclude coins, numismatic items, medals, medallions, tokens, art ingots and art bars from their definition of precious metal. Covered purchases, such as qualifying jewelry or silverware, require seller identification and transaction records.
Covered items must be held without alteration or disposal for seven days after the transaction is reported.

Questions to ask Charlotte Rare Coins
We couldn't confirm these from public sources, so ask before you go:
- What would you pay today for a 1 oz American Silver Eagle, and for $1 face value of pre-1965 silver? (Ask two shops the same question to compare.)
- Is an appraisal free, or free only if I sell to you? Do you put it in writing?
- How do you pay for larger amounts — cash, check or wire — and is there a cash limit?
