Sell Franklin Half Dollars in Novi, MI — Top Cash Paid at Westland Exchange
Franklin halves ran 1948 to 1963 — 90% silver, 12.5 grams, and a series that's affordable to collect and easy to sell. Most circulated Franklins are silver-value coins, but full-bell-lines uncirculated examples and the 1955 'Bugs Bunny' variety are collector material.
Novi sits about 14 miles from our counter — roughly 22 minutes door to door. Take Haggerty or Beck south to Ford Rd, east to Wayne Rd, north to Warren Ave. If you are starting near Twelve Oaks Mall and Suburban Collection Showplace, it is a straight, easy run with no downtown traffic to fight.
Novi is about 20 minutes from us and worth the drive when you're selling gold or a Rolex — mall jewelers pay a fraction of what a pawnbroker who pays by the gram pays.
Selling franklin half dollars here rather than shipping it away means you see the scale, you see the test, and you leave with cash in hand instead of waiting on a mailed check from an out-of-state refiner. Novi customers do this every week, and most of them tell us the drive was shorter than they expected.
We are open monday – friday 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM and saturday 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM. Bring a valid photo ID — Michigan law requires it for any pawn or purchase — along with the franklin half dollars itself, and the whole visit usually takes a few minutes.
