Westlake Rare Coins - We Are Buying!

We Are Buying!

Important Market Update-

Please Read!

Due to metals volatility the market is currently backlogged with sellers, leading higher volume dealers (to whom we move surplus inventory) to quote us payment times of at least 30-60 days out. As a result we must factor this inability to easily "flip" surplus inventory into our buying decisions. At the time of this posting, we are currently adequately inventoried in bullion silver and constitutional (90%) silver; that said, things can change quickly so we will look at all buy offers on a case by case basis.

We are NOT buying 1971 or newer non-silver proof sets or mint sets, nor are we buying any modern US silver commemoratives or foreign non precious metal coins. We also do not buy (at any time) US moderns like state quarters/national park quarters/American women quarters, Susan B.Anthony/Sacagawea/Presidential/American Innovation dollars, non silver Eisenhower dollars or any modern "internet errors" you see hyped on social media or on coin apps. If you are interested in selling, contact us to schedule a time to bring items in.

Due to increased traffic we will not be scheduling any large estate or bank appraisals until after the holidays.

We prefer that all other evaluations of things you wish to sell are done by appointment and will need to be scheduled. All items need to be preferably organized and sorted by type to expedite the process....if the items are just thrown together into a large unsorted pile they may be declined if we do not have time to go through them, or you may have to leave them with us until we have time to get to them. Smaller deals of just a few items...you can roll the dice on a walk-in basis but will have to wait until we finish with existing customers and appointment holders. Large collection deals coming in without an appointment may be declined due to time constraints and will need to be scheduled.

Sorry if this all sounds a bit regimented but we are frankly getting slammed with buy offers so we need to manage time efficiently, as well as try to make it easier for you to not have to potentially be waiting in a line.

***One Final Note: This should be common sense but unfortunately due to past issues we must post it here...When you come in, PLEASE do NOT pour coins or place any heavy containers, boxes, or bags of coins on top of our glass showcases. This is clearly posted in our store and is for your safety. We are not responsible for injuries from glass breakage and having been warned and signs clearly posted, you assume responsibility and liability for any damage caused. Ignoring, arguing or debating this policy will result in our declining to look at your items. Thanks for your understanding.

Items listed below are what we NORMALLY buy under normal market conditions but this may vary due to market or our current inventory position.

When in doubt or if you need clarity about exactly what we are currently purchasing, call us first before bringing items in! (309) 693-2541

We appreciate your patience and understanding in this highly hectic and volatile market!
