Sacramento grew up as the supply hub of the California Gold Rush, and gold still runs through its coin market. This is how selling works locally, and how to make sure you are paid fairly.
Sacramento sits at the heart of Gold Rush country. The 1848 gold discovery at nearby Coloma turned the city into the boomtown supply center for the rush, and that heritage still shows in strong local interest in gold and Gold Rush-era coinage.
As the California state capital, Sacramento also supports a broad market in U.S. coins, bullion, and estate collections.

Split the bullion and the better dates out from the common coins, then get offers from more than one shop. Our appraisal guide walks through it.
Compare a few offers, get the scarce coins appraised up front, price bullion and numismatic coins separately, and resist cleaning anything — a cleaned coin almost always sells for less.
