Testimonials

They helped me and treated me with kindness and respect

This is the second time I have been to American Rare Coin and Collectables. Once again they helped me and treated me with kindness and respect.

Best Place to Sell your Coins

i drove from eau claire,wisc. to bloomington to sell my coins, best place to sell your coins, great staff, very satisfied. ronald k Eau Claire, WI
This place is the real deal.

This place is the real deal. I called in for some advice on what ended up being a not-so-rare gold coin, and even though I’m sure it was only worth a small fraction of most of the coins these guys deal with, Mark took the time on the phone to give me plenty of info. […]
Thorough and honest

I could not have had a better experience here. Had an appointment with Daniel to appraise my mother’s jewelry and some coins. He was so accomplished and capable. I could tell he really appreciated the value and beauty of a good piece. He studied each one as we talked about them, and he examined the […]
Very Good Service!

Got your order today. Very good service! Thank you. Keith Keith Bracelin St Francis KS
Wow. Thank you.

Wow. Thank you. When I am ready to sell my inherited coin collection, I will be working with American Rare Coin and Collectibles.

Executor of estate

I was executor of my mom’s estate and needed to take care of her coin collection. She worked in a bank and her collection was primarily collecting for silver value although she did have some collectible coins. We live near Rochester, MN so I checked a dealer there. I got a quote on silver value […]
I had an excellent experience

I had an excellent experience today, January, 29, 2020. Daniel was outstanding. Informative, honest, straightforward and worked diligently to assure I received a fair price for my coins.

Knowledgeable, friendly and treated fairly.

I stopped in recently to have some odd coins appraised. The Buyer was knowledgeable and friendly. I felt informed and treated fairly.
Outstanding experience

My experience with American Coin was outstanding. I was having several different sets of coins of my father’s that had been given to me. Their website was very valuable in determining if there was any numismatic value, and unfortunately there wasn’t much beyond the silver value. Mark walked through the process showing me every step. […]
Very Professional. We will go back again in a heartbeat!

Frankly very professional! We had just a handful of coins, nothing too significant, and very little jewelry of much value. They took their time with us and treated us as if we were their best customers ever! We will go back again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much! Sandra Sandra T. Bloomington Minnesota
Totally satisfying experience. Very fair payment.

We recently decided to sell a coin collection which consisted of pennies going back to before 1856 and a lot of silver coins including silver dollars. Before bringing our coins to American Rare Coin and Collectibles, we visited two other dealers, one more upscale, the other not. Both were willing to pay us for the […]
Coin Collection Appraisal

I had a collection of coins and a few bills to be appraised. Old and new, some silver, some foreign, and none of it well preserved. I didn’t have high hopes, but the gentleman to whom I worked with went through everything and gave it all a good look-see. In the end, the collection was […]
Friendly atmosphere, lots of trust, I’m impressed.

American Rare Coin was recommended to me by my financial advisors who are in Texas…they did due diligence on companies here in Minnesota, and recommended American Rare Coin (ARCC).

Our experience was extremely positive.

I can’t say enough about our recent meetings at American Rare Coin. It took us years to get to the point where we were ready to sell. As many of you know, there are lots of unethical buyers of coins on the marketplace and fly by night operations. We wanted to go to a place […]
Knowledgeable and honest group of people

I have been purchasing and trading with American Rare Coin and Collectibles for many years and have never met a more knowledgeable nor honest group of people.

A reputable location to purchase gold and silver bullion.

I was looking for a reputable location to purchase gold and silver bullion. I visited American Rare Coin last week just to inquire about their business and the buy/sell process. I couldn’t have been happier with the attention they provided me, even though they knew I wasn’t buying or selling at that time. They took […]
Coin and Currency Appraisals

Coin and Currency Appraisals. My wife and I came to American Rare Coin and Collectibles with a collection my father had prior to his death. I couldn’t be more pleased with the service we received.

Helpful and understanding…

Ok, I was a bit nervous about checking this place out. I had some bracelets from an ex to get rid of. He had assured me they were real gold. The woman in the front of the shop was so kind and helpful! She explained the process, offered to get me some water, and then […]
Greeted and welcomed immediately by the office manager

Pleasantly surprised by the service.

I had an old collection of coins that were not anything super special. They were just 40% silver sets. I was expecting that anywhere I went people would be less than willing to work with me since I did not have anything exciting nor truly valuable. However I was surprised here. I was shown all […]

Great Service!

Great service and experience at ARC&C! J. Boyer Saint Paul MN
Highly Recommend American Rare Coin

A few years ago we had some silver coins to sell. We went to a different establishment. They really did not say much to us. They did not go through the coins. They weighed them and told us how much they would give us. That was it. What a change at American Rare Coin! When […]

I worked with a gentleman who very efficiently and professionally sorted through several hundred coins and gave me an estimated worth for each coin. I could […]
Highly recommend.

Sold a very old, rare gold coin here. Shopped it around to a few other smaller shops and American Rare Coin paid the most by a small margin. Friendly staff, my only negative thing to say is that they don’t have convenient hours, they’re open when most people are working, and getting into the shop […]
This is the place to sell coins and bullion.

This is the place to sell coins and bullion. Especially on a good price upswing. They update buy price on their website daily. Fast service and very knowledgeable. Obviously you won’t get the same price as selling privately. But they offer sellers zero hassle or risk. Plus you’re immediately paid in a check, that you […]

It was a pleasure working with American Rare Coin! They showed great patience and knowledge as they carefully went through my large box of coins.

Overall awesome experience.

Overall awesome experience. We took my dad’s coin collection in and we’re stunned by the value of some of the coins. The collection was so large and heavy I really dreaded this. But one of the employees stopped and helped us get it loaded and unloaded again.
The right choice is American Rare Coin.

I showed up at American Rare Coin at noon on a Wednesday without an appointment and was helped immediately. I had a wide range of things to sell and I was treated with great courtesy. The people I worked with went out of their way to find ways to increase the amount they could give […]

A real pleasure doing business with this company.

We came in with a lot of variety of coins and Tom took the time to patiently go thru them and gave us a nice surprise at the end of the visit with its worth. While we were there a relatively long time everyone in the office was very pleasant – it was a real […]
Grouped coins by value vs. competitors offering a flat price!

Daniel and Tony were very efficient in putting a value on my coins that I brought in on a late Saturday morning. Daniel took his time in sorting out the coins and placed them in groups according to value as opposed to their competitors who just bunched them together and offer a flat price. Because […]
Impressed by service and knowledge.

I was very impressed by the service and knowledge of one of your numismatists, who ably assisted me in evaluating coins inherited from my family. He was knowledgable, and explained his evaluation process, as well as the history behind the coins American Coin would purchase. I would recommend American Rare Coin for purchase and sale […]
These guys are great and are very busy with their business.

Hey Everyone, I’m from Minneapolis, but moved to the Bay Area only to recently return. I inherited a large collection of coins from my Father, mind you this collection is one I had a very important hand in building. I didn’t know anyone around here that dealt coins, so I stopped into this office. These […]
I have been a customer since May 2007 and completely trust your company.

They made a process we dreaded easy

A strong recommendation for anyone selling coins, bullion, or collectibles.

Explained everything, very fair pricing and very knowledgeable.

I was looking to get rid of a coin collection. There are many places near me but American Rare Coin and Collectibles was the only one on the Better Business Bureau website.

Upon reevaluation, another check!

After completing a transaction selling some coins, imagine my pleasant surprise to discover a message on my home answering machine that, after I left, one of the coins was discovered upon reevaluation, to be worth more than our agreed upon price that I had been paid and that a check for the generous amount of […]
Honest, Fair and Forthcoming…

I have been doing business with American Rare Coin since 1998 when a friend introduced me to them over a lunch break.

Yelp! search for local gold buyers and ended up at American Rare Coin.

American Rare Coin is the one I heard was honest, fair and upfront to deal with.

I had a small coin collection from my childhood that I recently shared with my 7 year old. He wanted to start our own collection. I know very little about coin dealing. I went online looking for local reviews and found a few and I also called some dealers. American Rare Coin is the one […]
Found ARCC via Better Business Bureau.

My husband and I have always been interested in owning precious metals, but the process of acquiring it was a bit of a mystery to us.

Couldn’t have been happier with the service and the people at American Rare Coin.

Just wanted to let you know how happy I was with your service and people at your Bloomington, MN office. I know nothing about coins or their value and found a box that contained a small collection of my fathers that I had in storage for about 10 years. I did some Google research and […]
Fair in their offer and knowledgeable on the coins.

Made an initial phone call and they were fairly vague. My husband called with more detailed info and made an appointment. He said they seemed fair in their offer and knowledgeable on the coins we brought in. T.P. Minneapolis, MN
