About Albuquerque Coin Buyers
Our Story
Founded in the heart of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Albuquerque Coin Buyers was established by a group of passionate numismatists with a shared vision: to create a trusted, community-rooted destination for buying and selling coins, bullion, and precious metals. Our founders understood that numismatics is more than a business—it’s a historical and cultural journey.
From modest beginnings in a small retail space to becoming a recognized authority in the Southwest for rare coin acquisitions and bullion investments, our journey has been defined by a deep commitment to transparency, expertise, and customer education. We didn’t just set out to be a coin shop—we set out to be the most respected name in New Mexico for those seeking authenticity, accurate valuations, and trustworthy transactions.
Our growth has been entirely organic, powered by word-of-mouth referrals and repeat customers who trust us for everything from estate coin evaluations to gold and silver investments. Today, we serve collectors, investors, estate planners, and even first-time buyers—guiding each individual through a secure, informed decision-making process.
Our Mission
At Albuquerque Coin Buyers, our mission is simple yet powerful:
To empower individuals to make confident, informed decisions when buying or selling coins, bullion, and precious metals—while upholding the highest standards of ethics and transparency.
We aim to be more than just a dealer—we are educators, consultants, and stewards of a tradition that spans centuries. Whether a client is seeking to diversify their investment portfolio or unlock the hidden value of an inherited coin collection, our job is to ensure they walk away informed and satisfied.
By aligning our practices with current market conditions and numismatic best practices, we strive to uphold our promise of fair pricing, expert analysis, and unmatched customer care in every transaction.
Our Values
We are defined not just by what we do, but by how we do it. The following values guide our daily operations and long-term decisions:
Integrity First: We believe that trust is earned, not assumed. That’s why we provide transparent appraisals, fair market-based pricing, and never pressure clients into a sale.
Education-Driven Service: We believe in demystifying the world of coins and precious metals. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or a curious beginner, we take the time to explain, educate, and empower.
Respect for Every Collection: Every coin, regardless of market value, has a story. We treat each item—and its owner—with the same care, attention, and respect.
Community-Focused: We are proud to serve the Albuquerque community and contribute to its economic and cultural fabric. From hosting educational events to supporting local causes, our roots are deeply local.
These values are not just ideals—they are practiced in every client interaction, every appraisal, and every decision we make.
Our Commitment
Our commitment is to every individual who walks through our doors—physically or digitally. At Albuquerque Coin Buyers, we are committed to:
Transparency in Every Transaction: Whether you are buying or selling, we explain our process step by step. No hidden fees. No vague estimates. Just honest, professional service.
Accuracy & Expertise: Our team stays up-to-date with market trends, grading standards, and historical valuations. This ensures that you receive precise and current assessments of your coins or bullion.
Privacy & Security: All transactions are conducted discreetly and securely. We understand the sensitive nature of dealing with valuable items and uphold strict confidentiality protocols.
Longevity in Service: We aim to be your long-term numismatic partner—not just a one-time service provider. Whether you return in a week or a decade, you can expect the same high level of care and expertise.
In a world filled with digital listings and impersonal transactions, we bring the human element back into the exchange of value. Our legacy is built on the stories we’ve helped preserve, the investments we’ve helped grow, and the trust we’ve earned.
