About Charleston Coin Buyers
Our Story
Charleston Coin Buyers began as a local passion project driven by a deep respect for history and craftsmanship. Our founders started as lifelong collectors who understood how every coin tells a story—of nations, families, and personal milestones. Over time, that passion evolved into a trusted business serving Charleston and surrounding South Carolina communities.
From the beginning, we aimed to make coin dealing more personal and transparent. Many people came to us unsure of what their coins or bullion were worth. We took the time to explain grading, rarity, and market conditions in plain language. That approach helped us grow from a small, appointment-only service into one of Charleston’s most respected names in precious metals and collectibles.
Today, Charleston Coin Buyers stands as a trusted resource for anyone looking to buy, sell, or appraise coins, gold, or silver. We serve families who have inherited collections, investors seeking diversification, and collectors chasing their next rare find. Through every transaction, we remain guided by integrity, expertise, and genuine care for the people we serve.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to provide a safe, honest, and rewarding experience for every client who walks through our door. Whether someone is selling a single coin or liquidating a lifetime collection, we treat every interaction with equal care.
Charleston Coin Buyers strives to raise the standard for transparency in the gold and coin market. We educate our clients about the factors that determine value—like rarity, condition, and metal content—so they feel informed and confident in every decision. Our goal is not just to buy and sell coins, but to build lasting relationships based on trust and understanding.
We also aim to preserve the historical and cultural significance of coins. Each piece represents a tangible connection to the past, and we see our work as a way to keep that legacy alive for future generations.
Our Values
Integrity is at the heart of everything we do. Every appraisal and transaction reflects our commitment to honesty and fairness. We understand that our clients place their trust in us, often with items that hold both monetary and sentimental value. That trust drives us to always deliver accurate, market-based evaluations without pressure or bias.
Education is another core value. The world of coin collecting can seem complex, especially for beginners. We believe knowledge empowers our clients, so we take time to explain each step—from authentication to grading to pricing. We want every person who leaves our office to feel smarter and more confident than when they arrived.
Community matters to us, too. As a local Charleston business, we are proud to serve our neighbors. We support local collectors, partner with historical organizations, and participate in community events that celebrate our city’s rich heritage. Our business exists not just to trade coins, but to contribute to the broader Charleston story—one built on tradition, pride, and shared history.
Our Commitment
We are committed to excellence in service, knowledge, and client care. Our team continually monitors market trends, gold and silver prices, and grading standards to ensure our clients receive accurate and competitive evaluations. Whether it’s a single silver dollar or an extensive estate collection, we handle each item with precision and respect.
Confidentiality is central to our process. We understand that selling valuable items can be personal. Every appraisal, whether conducted in-store or during a private home visit, remains fully discreet. We never share information without consent, and we make sure each client feels secure throughout the process.
We’re also committed to accessibility. Charleston Coin Buyers serves everyone—from seasoned collectors to first-time sellers—with patience and professionalism. No question is too small, and no item is too insignificant. We believe every client deserves time, attention, and the opportunity to learn.
