How it works

A pawn loan on pre-1933 us gold coins, in three steps.

  1. 01

    Bring your pre-1933 us gold coins and a valid ID

    Walk in during business hours with the item and a government-issued photo ID. No appointment, no application, no credit check.

  2. 02

    We appraise and write the loan right at the counter

    We test and research your pre-1933 us gold coins in front of you, agree on an amount, and hand you cash with a written pawn ticket.

  3. 03

    Repay and pick it up — or walk away clean

    Repay the loan plus the state-regulated charge and your item comes right back. If you can't, nothing is reported and your credit is untouched.

What we check on your pre-1933 us gold coins

  • Date and mint mark, with several genuinely rare issues
  • Grade and originality — cleaned or polished coins lose substantial value
  • Gold content as a floor (a $20 double eagle holds 0.9675 troy oz)
  • PCGS/NGC certification on higher-value coins

What your pre-1933 us gold coins can borrow

Common-date Saints and Liberty $20s trade at a modest premium over gold. Scarce dates and high grades are priced individually and can be many multiples.

Michigan pawn law, in plain English

Pawnbrokers in Michigan are state licensed and regulated. Here's exactly what that means for you.

  • Interest and storage fees are set and capped by Michigan pawnbroker law — the numbers are on your ticket before you sign.
  • You receive a written pawn ticket listing the item, the amount loaned, the charges and the due date.
  • Your item is tagged, photographed and held in our secured, alarmed vault — never sold while the loan is active.
  • You can renew the loan any time by paying the charges due; there is no penalty for paying early.
  • No credit check, no credit reporting, no collections. If the loan isn't repaid, the obligation simply ends.

Prefer to sell?

Coin collections are often pawned rather than sold — you get the liquidity without breaking up a set you spent years building.

FAQ

Pawning pre-1933 us gold coins — your questions.

Should I clean an old gold coin before selling?+

Never. Cleaning is the fastest way to destroy a gold coin's collector premium. Bring it exactly as it is, dirt and all.

Is common-date pre-1933 gold worth more than melt?+

Yes, always at least a modest premium — and often far more. We check the date and grade rather than weighing it as scrap.

How do I know a gold coin is genuine?+

We test non-destructively and check weight, diameter and detail against known specifications. Counterfeits exist and we screen for them on every coin.
