Ottawa is Canada’s capital and home to the original Royal Canadian Mint facility. Below is how to sell your coins in town and come away with a fair price.
Ottawa has a numismatic pedigree few cities can match: the original Royal Canadian Mint, opened in 1908, still operates here and strikes the country’s collector and bullion coins. That presence anchors a knowledgeable local market.
Canadian and world coins trade alongside gold and silver, and shops here regularly handle estate collections from across the capital region.
The Ottawa listings hold about 7 verified shops and dealers, with additional buyers spread across Ontario. Most take coins, paper money, gold, silver, and complete estates.

Inherited collections come up often. Before you sell, get the collection appraised so you know what is scarce and what is common.
Separate the precious metal and better coins from the rest, then take the lot to a few buyers. The appraisal guide covers what to expect.
Shop at least two or three buyers, appraise the scarce pieces before you sell, keep bullion and collector coins in separate piles so each is valued right, and never clean a coin — cleaning lowers what it brings.
