A Different Kind of Coin Dealer

Why Hicks Coins Stands Apart in Falls Church

The typical coin dealer in Northern Virginia operates out of a strip-mall storefront. Rent in Tysons Corner, Falls Church, or McLean isn’t cheap, and that cost ends up baked into every offer that dealer makes. The math is simple: the more overhead a dealer carries, the less they can pay you.

Hicks Coins runs differently. No retail space. No counter staff. No locked display cases full of slow-moving inventory. Just a single ANA & PNG-member numismatist who meets with you, evaluates your collection in front of you, and pays on the spot by your preferred method.

The result is a focused, careful evaluation of what you actually have, from single coins to six-figure estates, with the reasoning behind every number explained in plain language.
