Atlanta is the natural hub for coin transactions in the Southeast, and the shops listed above serve both walk-in sellers and serious collectors. Georgia makes the transaction side easy: no sales tax on coins or bullion at any amount. Sellers should still prepare: a melt-value figure for the metal, a quick check for collectible dates or mint marks, and a photo ID, since Georgia dealers must record purchases and report them to law enforcement. With several rated shops in the metro, a second quote is a realistic step, not a luxury.

Georgia Code § 48-8-3 fully exempts both bullion (gold, silver, platinum) and coins from state sales tax. When you sell at a profit, Georgia's flat income tax applies to the gain. Dealers who buy from the public must register with the local sheriff, keep itemized transaction records, and file written reports with law enforcement within 24 hours of each purchase. Read the full state guide.
Three things put a coin above melt: a scarce date, a scarce mint mark, and condition. Start with our free guide on collectible value versus melt, then get an in-person opinion from a shop listed on this page before selling anything old for scrap. The metal price sets your floor, never your ceiling.
A government-issued photo ID (dealers who buy from the public record seller identity in most states), the coins in whatever holders they are already in (do not clean them), and your own melt-value estimate from a free calculator so you can judge offers on the spot.
Compare at least two offers on anything above a few hundred dollars. Offers vary legitimately between shops depending on their inventory and clientele. You can also post one free request on our marketplace and let rated buyers quote their best price before you visit anyone.
Reputable mail-in buyers use insured, tracked shipping and quote after receipt. It widens your options beyond local shops, at the cost of a few days. For rare coins, an in-person appraisal first is usually worth it. Our selling guides explain both routes step by step.
