Know Texas's seller rules.
No Texas state law sets ID, hold-period, or payment rules for an ordinary coin shop buying your coins or bullion bars: the state crafted-precious-metal law expressly excludes coins, bars and commemorative medallions. State rules do apply if you sell jewelry, silverware or other crafted precious metal to a registered dealer (you file a list describing the items with your certification that it is true, the dealer records your driver's license or Texas ID number and reports to police within 48 hours) or sell anything, coins included, to a licensed pawnshop (photo ID, a purchase record, and usually a 20-day hold).
Coins and bars at an ordinary coin dealer: no state hold period, because the state crafted-precious-metal definition excludes coins, bars and commemorative medallions (Occ.

Questions to ask Worldwide 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?
- Do I need an appointment to sell a whole collection?
- Do you buy whole collections, including the common coins, or only some pieces?
