If you’re searching for a coin buyer near you in Falls Church or anywhere in the DMV, you’re looking for three things: a fair price, a trustworthy person, and a smooth transaction. Hicks Coins delivers all three.
Most "we buy coins" advertisers in Northern Virginia are pawn shops, jewelry stores, or gold-buying franchises, businesses where coins are an afterthought, not a specialty. They typically pay you spot melt value (or less) for everything and resell to actual coin dealers for the real numismatic price. You leave a lot of money on the table.
Hicks Coins is the actual coin dealer those middlemen sell to. By going directly to a credentialed numismatist, you cut out the middleman and capture the difference. On any collection with rare or graded pieces, that difference can be substantial, sometimes thousands of dollars.
Across Falls Church and the broader DMV, the typical client falls into one of a few categories:
If you have any of the following, text photos to (703) 862-7796, even a quick cell-phone shot is enough to get a quote started.
Morgan and Peace dollars by the bag, by the roll, or by the single piece. Even common-date Morgans in lower grades are worth real money in 2026.
Anything gold, pre-1933 US gold, modern Eagles, foreign gold coins, broken gold jewelry tied up with coins.
Dimes, quarters, halves dated 1964 and earlier. Worth roughly 20× face in current market conditions.
Anything in a third-party graded holder, especially key dates, high grades, and certified errors.
Anything larger than current bills, silver and gold certificates, or anything with "United States" written in a script you don’t recognize.
Albums, binders, plastic flips, coin tubes, whatever you found in the safe deposit box or attic. I’ll go through it all.
Hicks Coins runs without a retail storefront, display cases, or payroll. That’s a structural difference, not a marketing claim. A traditional coin shop has to cover rent, signage, lighting, and staff before they get to your collection, and those fixed costs shape every offer they make.
The concierge model trades the storefront for an appointment-based workflow. The trade-off is straightforward: I come to you or meet at the office, evaluate the collection together, and put a number on the table with the reasoning behind it.
