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).

Questions to ask Alamo Coin Store
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?
- If a coin is worth grading, can you submit it to PCGS or NGC for me?
