Inventory changes every day and differs by store. Acme Super Pawn on N Chelton Rd carries our largest coin and bullion selection. Call the store before you drive if you are after something specific.
How We Price Your Gold and Silver
We check the live spot price
Bullion, bars, rounds and common-date coins are priced off the gold and silver spot price at the moment you are at the counter, not last week's number.
We weigh and test in front of you
Nothing goes to a back room. Scrap and jewelry are tested and weighed where you can see it, and we explain the purity and weight we are paying on.
We tell you if it is worth more than melt
Some coins are worth more to a collector than as metal. If yours is one of them, we say so and price it that way.
You get cash, or you keep it and borrow
Take the cash offer, or leave the gold with us as collateral on a pawn loan and get it back when you are ready. Your choice, no pressure.
Bring a valid government photo ID. Colorado requires it for every purchase and pawn, and it protects you and us.
Inherited a Coin Collection?
This is the most common reason people walk in with coins, and the easiest way to lose money is to guess. A few plain rules before you come in:
- Do not clean the coins. Cleaning can cut a collectible coin's value in half.
- Do not break up albums, sets or original rolls. They are often worth more together.
- Bring everything, including the odd stuff. Foreign coins, paper money, tokens and medals — we will sort it.
- You do not have to decide today. We will walk you through what is bullion and what is collectible and make an offer, and you are free to take it home and think it over.
Very large estates, or ones you cannot easily move, can be handled by our sister company Acme Private Lending, which comes to you for high-value appraisals.
Need Cash but Want to Keep Your Gold? Pawn It.
A coin shop can only buy your metal. We can also lend on it. Leave your bullion or coins with us as collateral, take the cash today, and redeem them when the loan is paid — the gold stays yours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you buy coins and bullion, or just take them in pawn?
Both. We buy gold and silver coins, bullion bars and rounds, and whole collections outright for cash, and we also make pawn loans against them if you would rather keep your gold and borrow on it.
How do you decide what to pay for gold and silver?
For bullion and common coins we price off the live gold and silver spot price at the moment you are at the counter. For collectible coins we look at date, mint mark and condition, and we will tell you if a coin is worth more than its metal.
Do you buy pre-1965 silver coins (junk silver)?
Yes. Pre-1965 dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars are one of the most common things we buy, by the coin or by the bag.
Do I need an appointment to sell coins?
No. Walk into any of our four Colorado Springs stores during business hours, including Saturdays. Bring a valid photo ID — Colorado requires it for every purchase and pawn.
Do you buy scrap gold and silver jewelry along with coins?
Yes. Unlike many coin shops, we buy broken and scrap gold, silver and platinum jewelry, sterling flatware and dental gold in the same visit as your coins.
I inherited a coin collection. What should I do?
Do not clean the coins and do not break up sets or albums. Bring everything in as-is and we will sort what is collectible from what is bullion and make you an offer with no obligation. For very large estates we can come to you through Acme Private Lending.
Do you sell silver and gold bullion?
Yes. American Silver Eagles, silver rounds and bars, fractional and 1 oz gold, Morgan and Peace dollars and collectible coins, plus affordable 1 oz copper rounds. Inventory changes daily and varies by store, so call the store first if you are after something specific.
Bring It In — We'll Tell You What It's Worth
No appointment, no obligation, and a straight answer. Open six days a week at four Colorado Springs stores.
