Most coin shop locators online are built by publishers or industry groups — and they only show partner shops. That means independent stores, bullion dealers, and specialty world and ancient coin dealers get left out entirely. If you've ever used one of those locators and wondered why it shows only 2-3 shops in a major city, that's why.
CoinsNearMe is different. It's the largest independent coin shop locator online — 2,900+ verified shops across every US state and Canadian province, with no partnership requirement. If a shop sells coins and can be verified through Google Maps, owner submissions, or community reports, it's in the directory.
There are several coin shop locators online. Here's how they stack up:
| Feature | CoinsNearMe | Publisher locators | Industry tools | Google Maps |

| Service filters (PCGS/NGC, world coins) | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |

Not every coin shop offers every service. Use these quick-access service categories to find the right type of store:
Stores with strong inventory of classic US coinage — Morgan and Peace dollars, Lincoln cents, type coins, and key dates.
Specialists in world, foreign, and ancient coinage — from modern world issues to Greek and Roman antiquities.
Authorized PCGS/NGC dealers that accept your coins and submit them for professional grading on your behalf.
Stores that offer in-store appraisals of coins, collections, and estate finds — many also facilitate PCGS/NGC submissions.
Shops that actively buy coin collections, individual key dates, and estate sales.
Beyond brick-and-mortar shops — upcoming coin shows, collector conventions, and expos across North America.
Not all coin shops are the same. Once you've located nearby stores, here's what separates a great coin shop from an average one:
A good shop quotes its buy and sell prices against today's spot price and will tell you the spread. Check the spot price yourself before you buy or sell silver and gold, and compare quotes from more than one shop.
Good dealers describe raw coins conservatively and can spot cleaned, damaged, or counterfeit pieces. For anything valuable, ask for a PCGS- or NGC-certified coin, or ask how the shop authenticates what it sells.
Many shops are authorized PCGS or NGC dealers and send customers' coins in as one group submission. That can save you a membership, shipping, and insurance. Ask about turnaround and fees first. Filter for PCGS/NGC drop-off to find one nearby.
If you're selling a collection or an estate, a good shop explains how it arrived at its offer and what it's paying for each group of coins. Get more than one offer on anything valuable.
Good staff can identify key dates, mint marks, and die varieties, and help you build a set. That knowledge is the biggest difference between a real coin dealer and a pawn shop or a "we buy gold" storefront.
Shops that host appraisal days, set up at local coin shows, or support a local coin club build community. Check our Events page for shows near you.
