Before you sell here
- 1
Know your metal floor before you walk in.
Gold is — and silver — an ounce right now. Our offer checker compares an offer with metal value and dated examples of published buy prices.
- 2
Know New York's seller rules.
New York has no single statewide rulebook for coin shops that buy from the public. The rules come from city, county, town and village laws, plus state law for pawnbrokers (General Business Law Article 5).
No statewide holding period for coin or bullion dealers was found.

Questions to ask Heritage Auctions
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.)
- How do you pay for larger amounts — cash, check or wire — and is there a cash limit?
- Do you buy whole collections, including the common coins, or only some pieces?
- If a coin is worth grading, can you submit it to PCGS or NGC for me?
