We’re not the only people who appreciate our efforts, either. On October 25th, we received the distinct honor of earning the Best Collectibles amongst other nominees in the Best of Greater Nashua 2017 campaign. It was our third consecutive win! It’s all thanks to our customers who voted for us!

Nashua Coins is proud to own this award. It is a reminder that we go beyond what you’d expect from a coin store and are a truly unique business. While you get coins appraised, you can do some holiday shopping and find utterly unique antiques and vintage jewelry. These items will make gift giving an exceptional experience. You just cannot see what we offer anywhere else.

The holidays will be here before we all know it. We think our vast selection of collectibles is something to consider while you shop around and try to find the perfect gift(s) for your loved ones. We can’t promise you’ll find the hottest item on the market. Still, you will find something that sets your gifts apart from the rest of the pack!

Owning a business is not easy work. Not only do you need to do what you offer well, but you also have to be unique enough to make an impact. Our antique selection sets us apart as a coin store in the industry. We encourage you to visit us and see why we earned Best Collectibles for three years in a row!

Why This Coin Store Supports The Performing Arts Center

If you’ve shopped at Nashua Coins & Collectibles before, you can plainly see and understand what we do. Coins and antiques are our passion. We love sharing them with our customers. However, we have beliefs and passions outside of the coin store or business aspects of our lives. For example, we are passionate about our city and want to see Nashua thrive. We believe it’s a great place to live, work, and shop as it is. Now, there’s something that could make it even better.

Nashua Coins & Collectibles is in favor of the Performing Arts Center coming to Downtown Nashua. It could bring job opportunities, an appreciation for the arts, and talent to our city. Plus, it could bring even more customers to our coin store! It’s a win-win for both passionate artists and business owners. Artists get to have a center to express themselves, and companies earn more capital. They also could expand their hours.  We think Laurie put it best:

“Bringing a Performing Arts Center to the heart of Downtown Nashua could be one of the best things the City of Nashua does for the community. It would allow people to come together for one purpose, to spend a few hours together in harmony, without any boundaries.” – Laurie Galbo

Though we own business focused on coins and antiques, we still love supporting other businesses and our city. We believe anyone who wants to see Nashua thrive should, too. Though the initial vote to move the performing arts center was unsuccessful, there is another chance to make it happen on November 7th. You can read more about that here.

The arts are an exciting, beautiful form of self-expression, and Nashua Coins & Collectibles believes it would be a shame to deny artists their space. We urge you to learn more about the center and make an educated choice on November 7th. Of course, in the meantime, you can come to our coin store and talk about it with us or find your next favorite coin or collectible! We’re happy to share our knowledge with customers and engage with them.

Visiting An Antique Store Can Change Everything

antique collection

The past intrigues and mystifies as we move forward into the technological age. While laptops, tablets, and phones that do more than the first computer could enamor us, we are still fascinated with aspects of the past. The past shapes us and brings us forward in ways we do not always understand. That is why an antique collection gathers attention from many individuals. Nostalgia, yearning for a simpler time, and an altogether sense of times long past make many people stop in their tracks. 

Stopping into a store with antiques can do many things for an individual. Being in this kind of place humbles us and lets us take a step out of our lives into something simple. It can be an experience all on its own. This is especially true for the younger generations born into an era where technology has never existed. It seems that fewer and fewer individuals can take a step away and appreciate what the past had to offer.

You never know what you are going to find on a regular basis upon entry. You can find something that can inspire a story, a comic, a movie, anything you can imagine. Recently, the steampunk genre has become a sort of mix up of the best things from the past with the technology of today and beyond. Therefore, the inspiration is here and will continue to enable creativity like this.

A few years ago, an antique store in Boston had beautiful lithographs and engravings that you normally would never be able to secure. What you find can make you stop. A quick stop turns into hours. An antique store is a place to find anything for those special people that have a peculiar taste. Individual pieces and one-of-a-kind works always bring together past and present.

Those of us that work at antique shops are the treasure hunters, digging for buried treasure. We search, and sometimes things come to us. We find them, care for them, then return it to the next soul that didn’t even know they needed it. Collectors, individuals who want to spruce up their home or those who didn’t know they were missing something, are joyful while finding the right piece.

An antique collection is always unique. Collections can be quirky, strange, romantic, or a mix of everything. So, stepping into an antique shop opens the eyes and the mind. It would be wonderful if everyone stepped into an antique store at least once in their life. They would be able to see the past come to life. Movies, books, plays, and stories paint the original picture. Still, to truly step back in time and see the care and dedication, that is what makes our job worth everything.

Come and stop in to see our newest range of antiques in our antique collection at Nashua Coins and Collectibles Tuesday through Saturday at 202 Main Street. You will be amazed at the time travel you can do in one visit.

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!

Preparing for Coins Appraisal

Preparing for Coins Appraisal

You never know how much value something has until it is observed by someone who knows the product and industry to which it belongs. Coins are an especially valuable and varied item, so appraisal is rather common. However, there are some things you should do beforehand to ensure you get a great deal and learn the most information you can about coins appraisal. The following are a few tips to make your experience one well worth your time.

  • Don’t Worry About Sorting 

We all tend to want to put things in order. It’s human nature, and organization certainly has its advantages. However, it is best to come a little less prepared when it comes time for coin appraisal. It is better for the coins to remain unsorted, since the experts will be able to categorize them efficiently and provide the information you need. All you need to do is bring the pieces – appraisers have the background information to make sense of it all! Research beforehand is not necessary.

  • Ensure The Condition of Coins

An item is not going to be nearly as valuable if it is not in good condition. Prior to visiting the appraiser, take a look at your coin(s) and be sure that it is in good enough condition to get appraised. Otherwise, you may not get much for your effort. Preserving the coin(s) and keeping them locked up in a private space will help, as will any other preservation methods that cannot damage the coins.

  • Find The Right Appraiser

You do not want to go through all of this effort only to deal with someone who is not a good match for you. Make sure the appraiser you are going to visit is fair, honest, and offers a good price. They should also be enthusiastic about the product you have to offer, as it will make the process even more pleasant! Browse the Internet or talk to friends who have visited appraisers you are considering to see how their customer service stacks up, as well.

These tips will ensure the appraisal process for your coins will go well. Who knows, they just may end up in a coin auction for eager buyers! Our next one is Saturday, April 8th, so come see the exciting coins we offer. If you are looking for coins appraisal in New Hampshire that is fair, enthusiastic, and experienced, you can rely on Nashua Coins. For more information, give us a call at (855)-287-2218!

Join Nashua Coins & Collectibles For Rare Coin Auctions You Won’t Forget!

If you have considered attending rare coin auctions in the past, we don’t blame you – they are fun, and we love to work with eager customers and help them find the best deals while offering something unique to bid on!

Recently, we held an auction at our store – on February 4 – and it was one successful for both us and our beloved bidders. We were happy to accommodate customers of all demographics. One of our regulars even brought his granddaughter, which made us happy and feel young again! We hope she enjoys more rare coin auctions in the future.

In fact, we learned even more about customer service from her than we did in the past. She just may be our new favorite guest, since she also brought donuts to the auction. Her enthusiasm and attempt at customer service was priceless.

Our bidders spent $20,000 total, with the biggest draw being our 1800 Bust Dollar F/VF condition, which sold for $935. Twenty eight bidders took part in the auction in-store, while twenty six bidders took part online. It was exciting to have two separate audiences that were equally invested.

A lucky winner in Nova Scotia, Canada was the winner we shipped an item furthest to, and we were thrilled to do so.

When Nashua Coins & Collectibles sets up for rare coins auctions, it is always a fantastic time. Our bidders are engaged, we have plenty of unique coins to sell, and it is an activity that people of all ages and other demographics can enjoy. If you are looking for something to do and want to add to your coin collection, visit us in Nashua, New Hampshire today and attend an auction.
