Why Chaparral Coin and Gun?
As the area’s premier buyer of coins, Chaparral Coin and Gun stand out in the competitive market. In the current climate of high gold, silver, and platinum prices, numerous gold buyers emerge, but we prioritize offering leading prices in the industry. Our trained professionals ensure a seamless selling experience, making us the go-to choice for selling your coins.
With an impressive inventory of fine coins and firearms, we cater to a nationwide clientele. Operating on the principle of buying larger quantities and making smaller percentages, we focus on providing maximum returns to our clients.

Chaparral Coin and Gun is the preferred selling destination, especially for those in Southern California.

What about auctions? Aren’t traditional auction houses the best place to sell coins?
In most cases, auctioning your coins or collection may not be the optimal choice. While auctions occasionally yield high results, selling through private treaty to a reliable party is often more lucrative. We are committed to helping you maximize your returns, even if auctioning is the preferred route. With our connections to auction houses, we can represent you effectively. However, it’s crucial to consider the bottom line. In an auction, you incur both a seller’s fee (usually 5%) and a buyer’s fee (typically 15%), along with a waiting period for final payment. This can significantly impact your returns, making private treaty sales with professional involvement a potentially more advantageous option, especially for items of great significance. If you possess something valuable, consult with us before deciding on an auction as the best venue.
What about online auctions?
Online auctions rely on connecting willing buyers and sellers, but if there’s only one interested buyer, the price may stagnate, limiting the coin’s potential value. While reserves can be set, balancing too high risks going unsold, and too low limits gains. Despite lower commissions, managing an auction requires significant effort, and without expertise, coins may not receive the attention they deserve. Choosing a reliable professional dealer like Chaparral Coin and Gun, even with slim margins, ensures a better outcome. Professionals help coins realize their true market value, preventing them from selling well below their worth.
For instance, another dealer bought a coin in an online auction, which he sold to us for a higher amount. We, in turn, sold it for a significantly greater price, emphasizing the impact of seeking professional advice to avoid undervaluation in auctions. Don’t miss out on the true worth of your coins—consult with us!
