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 wheat pennies & indian head cents — your questions.

Is my 1943 steel penny valuable?+

Steel 1943 cents are common — they were made by the hundreds of millions. It's the rare 1943 copper cent that's valuable, and a magnet tells them apart instantly: steel sticks, copper doesn't.

Do you buy bulk wheat pennies?+

Yes, by the roll, jar or bag. We also search them for key dates and tell you what we find.

Are Indian Head cents worth more than wheat cents?+

Generally yes, since they're older and scarcer, especially pre-1880 dates and any coin with visible feather detail.
