Herb’s Coin Shop has been serving collectors, investors, and families across Southwest Florida since 1975. Whether you’re looking to sell a coin collection, get a free appraisal, buy gold and silver bullion, or have your coins professionally graded, we handle it all under one roof at 2348 Harbor Blvd in Port Charlotte.

No pressure. No gimmicks. Just honest service from a family-owned shop with 50 years of experience.

We Buy Coins, Gold, Silver and Collectibles

If you have coins, precious metals, currency, or collectibles you’re ready to sell, we want to see them. We buy entire collections – you don’t have to sort through anything or sell piece by piece. Walk in, hand us your items, and we’ll make you a same-day offer based on live market prices and actual collector value.

We buy:

  • U.S. and world coins – all series, all dates
  • Gold and silver bullion – coins, bars, and rounds
  • Pre-1965 90% silver coins
  • Scrap gold and silver jewelry
  • Gold and silver dental scrap
  • Sterling silver flatware and serving pieces
  • Paper currency – U.S. and foreign
  • Stamps and postcard collections
  • Full estate collections

Not sure if something is worth bringing in? Bring it anyway. The evaluation is always free.

Free Appraisals – No Obligation

Not every visit ends in a transaction – and that’s fine with us. We offer free appraisals to anyone who walks in. Whether you’re settling an estate, curious about something you found, or just want to know what your collection is worth before you decide anything, we’ll give you a straight answer at no charge.

We work with individual collectors, family members, estate attorneys, executors, and trustees on a regular basis. For large estates, call ahead and we’ll schedule dedicated time.

One rule: don’t clean anything before you bring it in. Cleaning can reduce the value of coins significantly. Bring items exactly as they are.

Estate Services

Settling an estate is stressful enough without having to figure out what a coin collection or box of old jewelry is worth. We handle estate collections of all sizes with care and discretion.

We provide free appraisals for estate purposes, work with attorneys and estate representatives, and make immediate cash offers for collections we purchase. We buy everything – coins, currency, gold, silver, stamps, silverware, and other collectibles – so you’re not left trying to sell items piecemeal through multiple buyers.

If you’ve recently lost a family member and are dealing with their collection, or if you’re an attorney or executor looking for a reliable local buyer, we’re here to help.

Coin Grading and Authentication

Herb’s Coin Shop is an authorized dealer for the four most respected grading and authentication services in the hobby:

  • NGC – Numismatic Guaranty Company – coins
  • PCGS – Professional Coin Grading Service – coins
  • PMG – Paper Money Guaranty – currency and bank notes
  • JSA – James Spence Authentication – autographed items and memorabilia

What that means for you: we evaluate your coins, tell you honestly whether professional grading makes financial sense, and handle the entire submission process on your behalf. You don’t need to create accounts, fill out forms, or ship anything yourself.

Professional grading can significantly increase the market value of the right coin. A certified coin in a tamper-evident NGC or PCGS slab is worth more than the same coin ungraded because the grade is independently verified and trusted by buyers worldwide.

Not every coin is worth grading. We’ll tell you exactly which ones are.

Gold and Silver Bullion

We buy and sell gold and silver bullion at competitive prices based on live spot rates. Our bullion inventory includes:

  • American Gold Eagles and Silver Eagles
  • Gold and silver bars
  • Canadian Maple Leafs and other world bullion coins
  • Pre-1965 90% silver coins
  • Gold and silver rounds

When you buy bullion from us, you walk out with your purchase in hand – no waiting for shipping, no insurance headaches, no risk of a lost package. And when you’re ready to sell, bring it back. We pay fair prices based on the same live spot rates we use when selling.

Learn more on our Gold and Silver Bullion page.

Scrap Gold and Silver

Broken jewelry, mismatched earrings, old dental gold, sterling flatware you never use – if it has precious metal in it, we want to see it. We test everything and pay based on actual metal content and today’s live spot price.

We buy scrap gold in all karats, sterling silver, and platinum. No lowball offers, no guesswork. We’ll show you exactly how we calculated your offer before you decide anything.

Learn more on our Scrap Gold and Silver page.

Coin Supplies

We carry a full selection of coin collecting supplies at our Port Charlotte location including albums, folders, coin holders, flips, tubes, magnifiers, reference books, and more. Both Dansco and Whitman brands in stock. If we don’t have what you need on the shelf, we can order it.
