Discreet, Coin Buying for residents of McLean, Country Club Hills, Langley, Salona Village, and Chesterbrook. About 12 minutes from my Falls Church base, no shipping, no shop visit, no risk.
McLean’s collectors tend to expect, and deserve, service that doesn’t put their collection at risk. Loading a valuable collection into the car for a strip-mall coin shop is the wrong answer. Mailing it to an out-of-state online buyer is worse. The right answer for the McLean homeowner with $25,000, $250,000, or $2.5M in coins is having a credentialed numismatist come to the residence, evaluate everything on-site, and either make an offer or document for insurance/estate purposes, without the collection ever leaving the property.
That’s exactly the service Hicks Coins built. ANA & PNG-member credentials, unmarked vehicle, NDA available, written documentation. Discreet visits to Country Club Hills, Langley Forest, Salona Village, and McLean Hamlet are routine.
The McLean collections I’ve worked with tend to skew toward the higher end, long-held PCGS and NGC slabbed coins, pre-1933 US gold accumulated over decades, complete US type sets, Morgan and Peace dollar collections including CC mint marks, sterling silver flatware from generational estates, and meaningful holdings of bullion. All of it is in my wheelhouse. Rare coins, gold, silver, bullion, paper money.
For McLean estates, I work directly with surviving spouses, executors, and the major local estate-planning firms. Written valuations meet probate and IRS standards. Liquidation can happen in a single visit (full purchase) or via a coordinated multi-channel approach (direct sale + auction consignment for keepers). More on estate liquidation.
No driving to a shop. No mailing anything. Collection stays at your address from first contact through settlement.
ANA & PNG-member numismatist. Unmarked vehicle. NDA on request. References available from McLean clients.
Lower overhead than a retail shop = better offers. Especially on slabbed material and pre-1933 US gold.
