Step-by-Step Process to Sell Coins

  1. Bring Your Coins In
    Whether it’s a single coin or a full collection, we welcome all sellers.

  2. Visual Inspection
    Our team checks for karat markings, mint year, and any special collectible value.

  3. Metal Analysis
    Using our XRF analyzer, we determine the exact metal composition — gold, silver, or platinum — without damaging the coins.

  4. Offer Calculation
    Your payout is calculated based on weight × purity × live spot price, plus any premium for collectible coins.

  5. Instant Payment
    Accept the offer and receive cash immediately.

This streamlined process ensures maximum payout and eliminates the confusion many sellers experience at pawn shops or online buyers.

Why Local Sellers Trust Glitter Bug

Selling coins requires trust. We’ve built our reputation in South Orange County by providing:

  • Transparency in testing and pricing

  • No hidden fees or surprises

Our Yelp and Google reviews reflect the confidence our clients feel when selling coins, whether it’s a single bullion coin or a full estate collection.

Understanding Coin Value

The value of your gold or silver coins depends on several factors:

  1. Metal Content
    Gold coins are valued primarily on karat and weight, while silver coins are valued by weight and purity.

  2. Rarity and Numismatic Premium
    Coins that are rare, limited edition, or historically significant may carry a premium above spot value.

  3. Condition
    Mint condition coins can earn more. Even coins with wear, scratches, or damage still have intrinsic metal value.

  4. Market Prices
    Live spot prices for gold and silver fluctuate daily, so selling at the right time ensures you get top dollar.

Pro Tip: Bring coins separately by type to ensure accurate evaluation. Mixing bullion and collectible coins can complicate the process.

Common Questions About Selling Coins

Do you buy rare collector coins?
Yes. We evaluate collector coins for both metal value and numismatic value when applicable.

Can I sell silver coins like American Silver Eagles?
Absolutely. We buy silver bullion coins at market spot prices with transparent payouts.

What if I have damaged or worn coins?
Coins with wear, scratches, or missing details are still valuable for their metal content, and we’ll provide a fair offer.

How fast can I get paid?
Most customers receive cash immediately after evaluation.

Is it safe to sell coins in person?
Yes. Glitter Bug Gold Buyers is a licensed, insured, and trusted South Orange County business. We maintain secure handling procedures for all coins.

Tips to Maximize Coin Payout

  1. Separate coins by metal type (gold vs silver).

  2. Know your spot price — check daily gold and silver rates before selling.

  3. Check for collector value — rare coins can add premium.

  4. Bring proper documentation — certificates or original packaging may increase trust for numismatic coins.

  5. Avoid mail-in services unless verified — in-person sales offer transparency and instant payment.
