Their Expertise in Coins and Care

Numismatics is the study or collection of money in different forms. From coins to paper currency to medals, there are so many different kinds of money in the world. Something people tend to overlook is that money gains value over time. A lucky penny may be worth more than a cent if you keep it long enough. Nashua Coins & Collectibles understands this and helps collectors and sellers know the value of their coin and money collections. With a specialty in American coins, here’s what makes Nashua Coins experts in their field!

 

Their Specialty

Gary Galbo founded Nashua Coins as a full-service coin dealer nearly forty years ago. He started with a focus in Small Cents rare coins due to his love for Lincoln and Indian cent series. The Lincoln cent first popped up in 1909. Victor David Brenner designed the Lincoln penny for the United States Mint, and it has since seen various reverse sides. The Indian cent, on the other hand, dates back to before the Civil War and has remained a favorite collection item ever since. Nashua Coins know their schtick when it comes to American coins.

National Coin Show

Gary has worked the national show circuit many a time before. Between 1996 and 2004, that was his primary focus. His experience there has made Nashua Coins & Collectibles even better at knowing the best route to go with your collection. Whether you’re looking to expand your collection or sell for a profit, Gary and his staff can help you take those steps. They can give you an appraisal and show you the ropes of the coin show circuit.

Networking

The staff of Nashua Coins is well connected. Gary alone is a lifetime member of the American Numismatic Association. On top of this, Gary stays involved with Central States Numismatic Society, Florida United Numismatics, and the New England Numismatic Association. For Nashua locals, consider joining the Nashua Coin Club of which Gary is the president!

 

Coins have a varied and fascinating history. You never know when that quarter you found on your Grandma’s nightstand will be worth a fortune. For any questions on American coins, coin collections, or auctions, talk to Nashua Coins & Collectibles. Contact them today or visit them online!

How Long Will It Take?

appraise coins

appraise coinsFor those who are new to the world of coins and antiques, you may not quite understand what our shop does. We buy coins based on the rates that are on the market, then sell them. These are flexible and change every 15 minutes, so we stay up to date with these prices constantly. That isa central part of how we appraise coins. Our shop owner, Gary, looks at a coin and finds out what he can price it at in an instant. He knows coins that well. However, when it comes to the antiques, that takes a bit longer than we plan.

Now, we try to get a quote for you as soon as possible. However, some things require a lot of digging compared to others. During coin appraisals, we look for mint marks, grade, and year of the coin. A keen eye comes with research and experience. However, with, say, jewelry or pieces of art, it takes a while to find out more information about the item. The process takes anywhere from 15 minutes to however long it takes to appraise coins. It depends on how rare the piece is and its condition.

Pieces with mint marks are simpler to figure out. A mint mark on the coin explains how many got made, the amount in circulation, and many other things determining price factors. We don’t guess. So, it’s important that we consider everything when we appraise coins before we tell you a price. Also, if you are away from us, feel free to send us email pictures just in case. That way, we have time to research. Plus, you do not need to part with your pieces.

For the collectibles items that take time, it’s up to you how you are going to handle the situation. If it is going to take a while, take the object home with you. That way, we call on you to bring the object back if you approve of the price that we offer. The other option that you have is to leave it with us. The object gets locked up safe while we do our research. Our research occurs on a mix of Google links and databases to ensure that we have all the information we need. It takes some time, so it is important that we make sure all of our ducks are in a row.

Remember that getting a price from us on something that you wish to sell takes some time. We try to be quick, but it depends on the piece. If you have a rare piece, prepare to wait. The good thing is that there are plenty of places near our shop to grab a bite to eat. Or, find some fun distractions just by looking around the store. No matter what, keep in mind that appraisals aren’t always simple. A thorough research process trumps getting things done fast!

Our Mission? Helping The Collectors.

Our Mission? Helping The Collectors.

When a business comes to fruition, there are two distinct end goals: provide quality products to customers and meet their demands the best they can. While we certainly accomplish that with our customer service, we like to go beyond it and get to know our collectors. We love helping them build their collections, and offer a few ways to do so in our coin store.

Live Coin Auctions

For those who are very enthusiastic about adding coins to their collection, we have auctions about every other month. It’s always a fun time, and there are all kinds of coins to collect. See what it’s all about on our “Small Cents Auctions” page! 

Appraisal

Have you come across an item recently that you know little about? Perhaps it’s a hand-me-down or heirloom? We are happy to come by and assess your items and make a purchase offer. However, for coin collections, there is an appraisal fee for our time that we waive if we purchase your collection for our store.

Advice

We’re not just robotic shop owners – we love talking to our customers! Our staff is ready and willing to talk to you and discuss how to build your collections. Whether you need advice about something you want to sell or just want to know how to start collecting, we’ll lend our ears.

Having a Varied Collection

We pride ourselves on our vast collection of coins U.S. and foreign! Between our coins and antiques, we have items that will satisfy just about any collector’s taste. A trip to our coin store is a quick way to add to your collection and get a taste of variety!

Our collectors are special to us, and we go above and beyond customer service expectations every time they enter our shop. Give us a call at (855)-287-2218 to learn what we’re all about!
