How gold coins are priced
Bullion coins like American Eagles and Krugerrands trade on their gold content. Older U.S. gold and graded coins can be worth more than their gold because of date, mint mark and condition. We check that first, then price the rest on today's spot.

Selling gold coins in San Diego
Gold coins turn up in San Diego in safe deposit boxes, home safes and estate collections built over decades. Retirees in Rancho Bernardo, Scripps Ranch and Coronado often bought Eagles and Krugerrands in the 1980s and 1990s, and many families hold a few older double eagles passed down.
Coin shops and online dealers each have their place. What matters is that someone checks each coin for collector value before quoting melt. A common-date bullion coin and a scarce date can look almost the same to an untrained eye.
Bring the coins as they are. Do not clean them, and leave graded coins in their holders.
