Owner is straight forward and efficient. He isn’t much for small talk, but that’s not important in this line of business. He gives better prices than any other shop I’ve compared to. If you’re buying or selling this is a great shop to go to if you prefer to go local.

Frequently Asked Questions About Golden Peaks Coin, Gold & Silver
How do I sell a coin collection?
Bring your collection to Golden Peaks Coin, Gold & Silver for an inspection. We will assess the quality and discuss further steps with you.
Where is the mint mark on a silver dollar?
Mint marks can be located in different areas, depending on the type of coin. For example, on Morgan and Peace silver dollars, mint marks are on the back of the coin. On Morgan silver dollars, they are found at the bottom below the wreath, and on Peace silver dollars, they are beneath the word “ONE.” Silver dollars minted in Philadelphia, the largest producer of silver dollars, do not have mint marks.
What’s the difference between bullion and numismatic coins?
The value of bullion coins, bars, or rounds is based solely on their precious metals content. In contrast, numismatic coins derive their value from both the metal content and their rarity and demand as collectibles.
Were gold coins used in general circulation?
Yes. Pre-1933 U.S. gold coins, composed of 90% gold, were produced for general circulation and used for daily transactions. The denominations produced were $1, $2.50, $3, $4, $5, $10, and $20. Generally, $1, $3, and $4 gold coins tend to have the most collectible value.
How can I tell if a coin is silver?
The best way is to look at the edge of the coin. If you see a copper stripe, the coin is clad. If the stripe is silver with traces of copper, it may be 40% silver. If the edge is solid silver, it’s likely a silver coin. Additionally, most silver coins have reeded edges.
What is the value of silver?
The value of silver is determined by the current spot price and your silver’s weight, purity, and rarity.
Which U.S. coins are silver?
Dimes, quarters, and half dollars issued for general circulation in 1964 and earlier are composed of 90% silver. Silver dollars produced in 1935 and earlier are also 90% silver. Half dollars issued from 1965 to 1970 contain 40% silver content.
What is silver bullion?
Silver bullion refers to refined, physical silver available in various forms. It is priced based on the current spot price of silver. Silver bullion includes silver bars, rounds, medals, and government coins, which are valued for their silver content rather than their face value. It’s important to distinguish between physical silver bullion and other investments tied to silver, such as ETFs, stocks, and commodities futures.
Where do I buy silver bullion?
You can buy silver bullion both online and in person. Before the Internet, options were limited to local dealers and coin shows. Today, many people still prefer to buy silver from local bullion dealers, pawnshops, and coin shows like ours. Visit us today to see the pieces you are interested in person.
Why silver instead of gold?
Silver is significantly more affordable than gold per ounce. For example, $100 will get you a bit more than one gram of gold but over three ounces of silver. Silver offers the same benefits of hedging against inflation with a physical commodity at a lower price per ounce. This lower price-per-ounce also makes sense for bartering, as silver is more suitable for smaller, everyday transactions.
Additionally, silver has many more industrial applications than gold, generating high demand from manufacturers of electronics, medical devices, dental products, and cars. This demand can mean higher upside potential compared to gold, which is primarily used as an investment or in jewelry.

What is the difference between bullion coins and numismatic coins?
Bullion coins are valued based on their precious metal content, while numismatic coins derive value from their metal content plus rarity and demand as collectibles.
