I’ve made a few purchases here and Caden has always been extremely helpful. He does a great job educating me about different coins and even gave me a call when he received something he knew I’d like. Every interaction I’ve had with the guys at the store has been positive, and I’ve always left happy with both the coins and the experience.

Edwin Montes Google review

I visited 3 other Coin shops before going to Accurate Precious Metals. Their initial offer was close to another business's, but not quite enough to sway me to sell to them. After speaking with their team they came up with a better offer and I was very happy with the outcome.

Julia van Hees Google review

Kaiden was very professional and personable!!! He helped me with going through my coins. He was informative and honest. This was my first time here and he made the whole transaction smooth. I recommend Accurate Precious metal coins to anyone interested in getting an honest value for their coins and jewelry. Thanks you for the easy experience!!!

Brett Schwabauer Google review

Wow! Best professional experience I have had in my whole life. Trent looked after my sister and I. He was so kind and patient as he helped us understand the whole process. We had all sorts of coins, gold and silver left to us by old parents and loved ones and we needed the education. The place was busy and I see why. Everyone we spoke to had nothing but great things to say. Whether you are buying ot selling, this is the place to go! My sister lives in Oregon and I was visiting from Alberta in Canada.

Judy Griff Google review

I had a great experience working with Kaiden. He took the time to answer my questions and helped me get everything set up to sell a couple of my gold bars. The whole process was straightforward, fair, and stress-free. The customer service was outstanding from the moment I walked in. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and even offered me a drink while I was there. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and want you to have a great experience. If you’re looking for honest people and excellent service, I’d definitely recommend stopping by and asking for Kaden. I’ll definitely be back!

Steph Simmons Google review

I just love this place! There are dealers closer to where I live, but I would rather drive the 40 minutes to deal with these guys. I go about once a week. They are honest and trustworthy. Kaiden takes great care of me, and call when he gets something in that he thinks I will like. The other two guys, Drew and Trent, are amazing as well! You can't go wrong dealing with these people!

“Because I feel like I get clean, concise answers. If I ask, is this coin that I purchased from someone else real? You can go over and grab your tester and test it and show me the answer instead of just saying yes. You always verify what you're selling us and you'll always give us all the answers I ask.”

How Selling Coins Works at Our Salem Shop

We have an in-house refinery where we melt gold and other precious metals. This means that you get the best deals by selling directly to a precious metals processor.

1 Identify the Coin We look at the date, the mint mark, and the metal. Bullion coins such as Eagles are checked against live gold and silver spot. Rare coins are checked for collector value.
2 Price the Coin Bullion is priced from the live spot price. A rare date, a mint error, or a high grade can be worth more than melt. We pay more than anyone else in Salem.
3 Get Paid the Same Day Accept and you're paid before you leave. Decline and you take your coins home.

Molten metal poured from a crucible in the refinery — We refine our metals in-house.

Are my silver dollars worth anything?

Silver dollars are not all the same. Some are 90% silver. Some newer dollar coins have no silver at all. The table shows the common types, the years they were made, and the silver in a typical coin. A rare date or a high grade can be worth more than the silver. If you bring your dollar coins to our Salem showroom, we can value them and you can leave with cash in hand for your coins.

Hear From Our Customers

“They explained all the steps, it was clear and concise wording you weren't, if you had a question, they addressed it immediately and at several points they would ask if you want to continue and you can decide. But before any marks were made on the jewelry, they would ask if you're satisfied with the price. They explained why they were doing the marking and that satisfied. ... If you start with one person, the person stays with you throughout the entire process.”

A customer

“I knew that when I came in here, this was where I wanted to do business because everybody treated me very cordially and respectfully and everybody has a good demeanor and they made you feel like a friend, not a client. That was nice. ... I've watched even the people that bring in stuff at the counter and then they count them out, tell them what it's worth and give them the money. Just the way you treat people makes people want to come back here and do that, you know.”

A customer

“I sell jewelry to them. I had a lot of questions, they answered a lot of questions, they went through every single piece and took the stones out of whatever I had and everything and you know, nice guys to me. I always felt I got a fair deal, you know, they went with current markets, you know, so they always had that posted and everything and you could see when it was up or down or whatever.”

A customer

“I was nervous at first when I came in, but I feel fine now. The more familiar you get, and the more questions you ask, and more conversation, you gain a certain level. And it's light and bright in here, and I do like being buzzed in. So, yeah, I feel safe. And I just want to add one thing, that you explained everything. When we had questions, you explained them, and you went into detail about how coins are assessed, or how the value is determined.”

A customer

“Yeah, it just gave us a secure feeling I enjoyed the experience watching what she was doing there I had seen the type of equipment used when gold mining but I had never seen it in this particular Situation where you was actually checking the value of the ring itself in front of us right here It wasn't back in a corner somewhere. They come out and tell us what it was”

A customer

“My experience was always excellent. The people behind the counter definitely know what they're doing and know what they're talking about. Always willing to assist and help in any way that they can. I've definitely had at least three or four transactions. Every transaction is done very professionally and well done.”

How do I get a fair coin appraisal?

Know where a coin's value comes from: its metal (melt value for silver or gold coins) or its rarity, condition and mint mark (numismatic value). A fair appraiser tells you which applies and why. Ask for a published payout rate instead of a promise of top dollar, testing and weighing you can watch or that is documented for mail-in, no fees, and reviews you can verify. A second opinion is reasonable for anything you suspect is rare.

“My first time to cash in some coins and some silver bars. ... Overall it's a good experience.”

A customer

Which coins are actually worth selling?

Two groups. Coins valued for their metal: US dimes, quarters and half dollars minted before 1965 (90% silver), American Silver and Gold Eagles, and other recognized bullion. Coins valued for rarity or condition: key-date Morgan dollars, early Lincoln wheat pennies and coins with known mint errors. Common circulated coins from recent decades with no silver and no rarity are usually just face value, but it is easy to misjudge which group a coin belongs to.

Which quarters are worth more than 25 cents?

Any US quarter dated 1964 or earlier is 90% silver and worth well above face value in any condition. Beyond silver, key dates and low-mintage years in the Washington series, certain Standing Liberty quarters and verified mint errors such as doubled dies, off-center strikes and wrong-planchet coins can be worth far more. Condition and authentication drive that side, so a specific quarter needs a direct look.

Are old coins worth selling?

Age by itself is not what creates value; metal content and collector demand are. A worn common coin from the mid-1900s with no silver and no rarity is usually worth face value, while a pre-1965 silver coin or a genuinely rare date or error can be worth a great deal more, whatever its age. Many collections sit untouched because owners assume age alone matters, so it is worth finding out which pieces actually have value.

Which Coins Were Made with Silver?

Pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters are not all the same. Some dates are silver. Some are copper. Newer pocket change usually has no silver. The table shows when each coin was made with silver or another metal people ask about. A rare date can be worth more than the metal.
