Dallas has one of the deeper coin markets in the South, and the shops listed above compete for the same collections, which works in your favor if you get more than one opinion. Before you drive anywhere, do two checks: the melt value of your coins at today's price, and whether any of them might carry collector value beyond the metal. A common Dallas-area mistake is selling a scarce date for scrap. Bring a photo ID: Texas dealers record seller identity for purchases. If a first offer feels low, the shop density here makes a second opinion a short drive away.

Texas Tax Code § 151.336 removes sales tax on all precious metals transactions with no minimum purchase threshold, and Texas has no state income tax, so residents selling gold owe zero state-level tax on the proceeds. Your only tax exposure is federal: capital gains tax applies in full, with the IRS collectibles rate capping long-term holdings at a maximum of 28%. Keep your purchase receipts, know how long you held the metal, and consult a tax advisor before any large sale.
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.
