Coin Shop Census 2026: How Many Coin Shops Are in the U.S.?

Small states punch above their weight. Montana leads with 2.27 shops per 100,000 residents, followed by Wyoming, New Hampshire, Idaho and Nevada.
Big states lead on volume, not density. California has 436 coin shops, the most of any state, but ranks 23rd per capita. Texas (311) ranks 36th and Florida (303) ranks 13th.
Kentucky is the least served. A Kentucky collector shares a coin shop with roughly 219,000 neighbors, about 2.4 times the national average.
New York is the coin shop capital. 80 shops have a Manhattan address, most of them clustered in the Diamond District around West 47th Street.
Collectors rate their shops highly. 67% of shops with at least five Google reviews hold a rating of 4.5 stars or higher.
