Had a great experience today at the Frederick Coin exchange. I had a Ton of jewelry and coins that i wanted to have assessed for value. Brian was patient, meticulous, and thorough. It took much longer than anticipated , but he did not rush and never made me feel like I was wasting his time. This is a well oiled machine and I’d highly recommend them to anyone hoping to get things assessed for value and sold at a fair price.
Thank you, Brian.

My wife and I had an exceptional experience selling gold jewelry at Frederick Coin exchange. It was easy, we made an appointment online and bought in our items. Kayla was very friendly, she explained the process, and was extremely diligent, detailed and accurate. She answered all of our questions and we were very pleased. I saw other customers just like us but with coins and silverware. It was an interesting and educational experience.

My father had a good size coin collection. I was up all night worrying that I might be cheated since I hadn’t a clue of the value of the coin collection. Made the appt was there 4 hours. They were very detailed in weighing and checking value of each coin. Nao was my advisor and was friendly, professional and reassuring. I would recommend to them to anyone who wants to buy or sell coins.
