After several purchases from OPC and watching every YouTube video this is a source of well curated coins and priced fairly in the marketplace. read more

Remarkable business with a spin on taking care of the customer! Absolutely amazed me when I brought my Father in Law in here to check it out since we moved him out here. I know nothing about 'collecting money', pun probably intended... but wow, talk about history, international money and an 'auction'?? Seriously! This place, being here for DECADES has bidding auctions on each weekend for some of the rarest of items you can find monetarily speaking, which is an incredible opportunity for social networking as well! I was educated for an hour on things to consider when looking for collectors items, but I was mutually impressed with the amount of technology they possess to actually inspect coinage at the metallic level - for fakes. Wonderful, polite and extremely informative Staff, and did I not mention they have donuts for the customers on the weekend? This business will even sell money you want to sell. I know, a weird way to sell money but the point here is their absolute uniqueness and fair pricing. My FIL who's a sincere collector said this business is the best he's seen from here to North Carolina. That should speak for itself! H-I-G-H-L-Y Recommend coming in! read more

See all

Went in there yesterday and had Trace look at two krugerrand coins i want to sell he gave me a reasonable offer chatted about the gold market and left, I really think Trace knows his stuff. read more

I Just Wanna Send A Big Shout Out To Trace... He Made My Whole Entire Interaction To Last A Life Time! I Highly Recommend This Place. Thank U Again For The Surprise I Got For My Valuable Things! U Are Appreciated. I Will Be Back! read more

Trace was very competent, helpful and friendly. We came in with our grandpas coin collection that had been sitting in a bag for years. He helped us understand what we had and the value. My children opted to keep a few things and sell most of it. It was our first and only experience visiting a shop like this. We really appreciated how easy it was. I chose it based on its proximity to our Vrbo and the yelp reviews! read more

Honest, transparent, informative, fair offer. Thanks to both Jamie and Trace. They made the experience great. No wonder they have been in business since 1882 read more

Very pleasant to deal with they have a huge selection and great deals ............................................::...:

Absolutely the BEST, and Fairest Coin Western Memorabilia in Southern Arizona. While visiting Tucson over 21 years ago Old Pueblo Coin was the first place I stopped by to check out, and now since having relocated too the area some twenty-years ago I alway enjoy stopping by and checking the weekly Bid Board coins and banknotes. You can alway be assured to get the best prices when selling, and great offers on a wide range of coins and collectibles. Ben the Owner of Old Pueblo Coin, can be seen on YouTube as the Thecoingeek read more

Best place to shop for valuables with great friendly associates, the make you feel like fsmily.

Made several more purchases and still have not been to the store or Tuscon. All good purchases and experiences. The last one was a more expensive coin and Josie was very helpful and made sure I had a good experience. All of the coins arrived safe and shipped well. I will keep checking their inventory for new listings that might catch my eye. read more

I have been buying 90% 'junk' silver for the past few months and Old Pueblo coin has prices sometimes lower than online bulk purchases. Plus, it's cash and carry transaction so one does not have to worry about shipping costs, delivery issues or 'porch pirates'. It's a win win to buy from Ben! read more

Old Pueblo Coin is where I do 99% of my local coin and bullion shopping. They are great to work with. Sometimes you might need to wait a bit, but that's when the parking lot is packed. read more

Love this place! They treat you like family! Stefanie deserves some angel's wings, she's really sweet and always delivers A+ service! Ben, Darren, Francis, Mark and Tom, thank you very much for always welcoming me in your store! God bless! read more

I was gifted a gold krugerrand and stopped in to talk with them. The person who helped me was very straightforward, very honest and easy to talk to. I felt I got a fair share, they did take a percentage out for themselves. Clearly they need to make profit buying and selling so I didn't have an issue with this and was prepared not to get full price. After properly testing the coin for authenticity, he filled out a police report which again is very standard and gave me cash. I was happy with my experience selling and will consider using them again in the future. read more

Love to stop in and talk coins with Ben "coin geek". I never leave empty handed as Ben always has a must have in his great selection of inventory. read more

Always good to see Francis and everyone at the shop. Ben's ok, too...haha. Picked up some silver rounds and sterling jewelry plus some copper. They are always ready to make a great deal! A favorite stop in Tucson. read more

Professionals. Efficient and knowledgeable. Fee was 7percent when trading my coins. It beats insuring and sending it to the depository, then wait for the cash deposit. Highly recommend Old Pueblo Coin. They've passed the test of time - decades. read more

Yep, I went there last week and Ben was awesome. I took in my childhood collection of domestic and foreign coins and bills, plus a few silver Mardi Gras doubloons, and traded those in for a fair amount of cash. Ben treated me very respectfully, and he really seems to know his stuff. Afterwards, I had the opportunity to see a guy spill a lot of silver coins in the parking lot! They sure were pretty, glistening in the sun :) All in all it was a great experience, def recommend to anyone. read more

Best place in town to buy or sell. Frances is my go to person. I have only known her for a few weeks but she has been extraordinary to work with. I trust them to the fullest extent. read more

The buyer was very dismissive and handled my coins without gloves. I left without selling anything, and I was lucky to find another shop that treated me with respect and gave me a fair price for my coins. I will never return to Old Pueblo coins. read more

I highly recommend Old Pueblo Coin, especially their resident numismatist, Tom. Today I was around midtown attempting to sell an old wedding band from my first marriage, which was white gold. I took it to one of the places that buy gold, and the lady who inspected it told me in no uncertain terms that my ring was NOT real. She was very apologetic about it--but she said it was fake and not worth anything. Knowing I had purchased my ring from a very reputable jewelry dealer, I KNEW it was not just a piece of steel junk. So I looked online and found Old Pueblo Coin and figured I would give them a chance to check out my ring. Tom waited on me. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. He inspected my ring and put it through a couple of tests and guess what?! REAL. So I was able to sell the ring I had set out to sell, and now I have some extra money in my pocket. The price for a gram of 10k gold today is just under $19. Tom paid me $14 per gram, and my ring was 5 grams. So I received $70 for my old wedding band, when the other place I went wanted to give me nothing for it! I'm glad Tom is a professional and knows what he is doing. Very honest place. By the way--the "other" place I went was only paying $10 per gram! If you are a smart individual, take your for sale items (old gold and silver, etc.) to Old Pueblo Coin first! Don't waste you time getting low-balled by the other shops. This place is the best. read more

Excellent place to buy silver, everyone is helpful and nice, these morons that are posting bad reviews, Just did not make a million on their closet coins, get a life people, great store!!! read more

Old Pueblo Coin - Pawn Shops Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Let me just state, if you want to go to a great coin shop, go someplace else. I am a avid collector and I know how much items are worth. Every so often I pop in to this shop and inquire about value of items, coins, bars, rounds, etc. Almost 95% of the time the are trying to cheat you. They off prices comparable to any Pawn Shop. I understand people need to make money, but to knowingly know a piece is valuable and offer a fraction of its worth is super unethical. For example: last week I took a rare Morgan Silver dollar in for their appraisal, I was offered $25 at Old Pueblo, I took the same coin to Ambassador, and Arizona Coin and received appraisals of over $200. Now, I know the value of this coin, but the shear contrast of professionalism is amazing. This hasn't been the only item, I have taken Gold Coins, Peace Dollars, and other rare coins and always get a low price offer from OPC. This week in fact, I took a coin in, one appraiser gave me a quote of $149, I declinded, he asked for another opinion from the other appraiser that was there, he barely looked at the coin and had no knowledge is the first appraisers offer and walked by and said $45. This place is a joke, I think the only honest Appraisers are Ben, and the hispanic lady that works at this shop. They are the only thorough inspectors of items and offer a reasonable price, comparable to Arizona Coin and Ambassador. Not sure who the other guys working the counter are, but they are not only non personable but they dismiss you and your items before even looking at them. I will tell you this, I will never take any items to this coin shop again for an appraisal, I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but they failed time and time again. It is my suggestion, if you want a good honest appraisal or offer for your items, take them to another coin shop. They are much more reputatble in my opinion. read more

I was so impressed with this business that I had to post a review. From the moment I walked in, Frances took excellent care of me. I was bringing in my childhood coin collection, as it has been in a drawer for 50 years. She was very professional and honest with me as to the value of my coins. I learned as I was leaving that they just were voted Top Coin dealer in Tucson. Not surprised. Give them your business! read more

In todays world, it is nice to find a business like Old Pueblo Coin where the staff is polite, helpful and very professional. I also like the variety of items they have for sale. The parking is easy and I felt at ease as I shopped. Please take some time to visit this place, it is such a fresh breath of air compared to the hustle and bustle of many other businesses in Tucson. Ellis Ritz read more

Had a great experience at Old Pueblo Coin. The staff was attentive and helpful. The coins that I was interested in purchasing were reasonably priced. Ben, who hosts an informative and concise YouTube video channel, spent some time with me chatting about submitting coins for grading. Overall a very positive first impression. read more

I've been here a handful of times, anytime I come to Tucson I check them out. Great prices and they always give me the most cash for my coins, always! read more

In order to truly appreciate how Old Pueblo Coin Exchange is a notch above any comparable business, one must understand a few ideas first: - they operate honestly and very fairly for profit - just like the vast majority of businesses you may visit (except the Desert Diamond Casino, which should be the greediest of all businesses but does everything in it's power to MINIMIZE and ELIMINATE profits) - there are several 'similar' places that just aren't as fair and honest - like Bad Ol' Tom who is a certified reincarnated train robber who terrorized old ladies in Santa Fe in 1879 unabashedly and now took his millions to legally heist people in similar fashion. - for the uneducated in bullion and collectibles, you may at first find places like this a little condescending - but they aren't. They have to explain many concepts over and over on a daily basis to disbelievers...they actually have the patience of a saint. Now, let's talk get down to brass tacks: PRICES: Fair all around. Book value mostly. They have showcase after showcase and almost anything you can't find is probably in their back area - just ask them. They also have a bid board with Buy It Now as well as Auction Style items for sale, ranging in value from cents to a couple hundred dollars. Nothing is priced ridiculously - and some items they are open to reasonable negotiation. ATMOSTPHERE: Conveniently located on the corner of Columbus and Speedway, they have an elegant, clean, organized store - mainly dealing in coins, paper money, bullion, and a touch of 'curiosity shoppe' as well. Spacious, where other similar places are claustrophobic and closet like. PRODUCTS: A wide array of U.S. and foreign coins and paper money, gold and silver bullion (and occasionally platinum and palladium), a selection of books for sale and various other collecting tools of the trade, some autographs, stamps, pins, badges, old checks and other paper products, old toys, silverware, and various other collectible items (like casino chips). STAFF: This is where they truly shine. Rob (the owner) and Darren are exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable guys who are so helpful and easy to talk to...but Ben is my personal favorite. Ben has an unparalleled sort of compassion and desire to go above and beyond while still being gently assertive. Truly unique and talented, and above all, top notch. If you want honesty, integrity, wide variety, patience, cleanliness and convenient location, then look no further - this is as good as it gets for buying, selling, and trading collectibles. Thank you guys, and keep up the great work. read more

Premiums are a bit high, but they're high everywhere nowadays. Staff always offers fair deals and is knowledgeable and eager to help, and I can always find something interesting here, definitely my favorite place to visit on my day off! read more

Prompt service. Very nice guys; seemed to know what they were doing. We sold a bunch of old silver after my in-laws passed away and I felt confident they had taken the time to do a fair and accurate appraisal. read more

Highly recommend this place! The manager was very knowledgeable and patiently educated us on sets of sterling silverware. He gave us a quote which we then took to two other stores. They didn't even try to compete with his. One place even stated that he must have made an error! Needless to say, we sold our silver to Old Pueblo and received a fair price with which I felt very satisfied. They also quoted us on turquoise jewelry which I will sell to them when I'm ready. Thanks for your honest work ethic, Old Pueblo Coin Exchange, we will definitely be back! read more

The best coin shop in Tucson. Staff is very friendly and will make you feel at home. I Highly recommend checking this place out!

After calling to verify that the shop offers this complimentary service, stopped in to authenticate two or three silver proof coins I had purchased via eBay. The saleswoman glanced at the quarter for perhaps one second and said, yes, it is genuine. Perhaps she has X-ray vision, I wonder. She said that one can verify that a silver half dollar is genuine silver by examining the reeding on its edges for evidence of clad copper: this is flatly untrue, as counterfeiters do not routinely leave such self-defeating and obvious clues. She manhandled the quarter and placed it on a certain machine. I asked her the machine's function, and she said that it verifies the authenticity of gold. I admit I was somewhat confused, as these were silver coins, and proofs should not be manhandled or dropped on the countertop without apology. Accordingly, I asked her to weigh the coins, and she brought them over to a scale, but the scale only measured in tenths of a gram rather than one-hundredths, as is customary when weighing coins in grams, as many coins are minted in multiples of 1/4 g (e.g., a silver quarter weighs 6.25 g). Undoubtedly, a commercial scale would be capable of such measurement, but was deliberately calibrated this way. To be polite, I asked her the shop's pricing for silver bars. She told me that the shop buys silver at $0.50 per ounce below the spot price and sells silver at $1.50 per ounce above the spot price. (Hell, I want to be in the arbitrage business, too! Apparently, she does not believe I can do fifth-grade mathematics, which is disheartening, as I earned a b.s. in chemical engineering.) She did not know that I have been buying and selling physical silver and silver futures for years, and the price through a certain leading national dealer is $0.50 ($0.90 for premium branded bars) over the spot price for 100 oz t silver bars, not $1.50. When I questioned her on this point, she said that the advantage was that I'd be buying locally, as if I were buying turnips, or had just fallen off the turnip truck. read more

Nice guys, fair price. Even took the time to explain things to my son, which was really nice. So glad the "other " place blew me off and we wound up here. Highly recommend Old Pueblo Coin read more

After being made a ridiculous offer by Goo* Ol* To***. I called Old Pueblo Coin Exchange. They made me a reasonable offer on my 1oz. Krugerrand. I went in a bit later and they honored they offer and I walked out with $250.00 more than the other place offered me. I watch gold and I understand that they charge a fee for the purchase, that's normal when selling gold. Tom tried to rip me off and these guys wee a breath of fresh air. I just wanted to buy a Smat TV and I did. I have more and the next time I want to sell one, I won't have to shop around, I'll just go to Old Pueblo and not fear about wondering if I could have done better. The price of gold is very volatile and changes hourly in some cases. It has been dropping steadily and so I knew I would lose on this. But, they took a minimal commision and made me feel good about my deal. Don't be fooled by all the ads saying they pay the most for gold. the cost is the cost. End of story and this is an honorable place to do business. Not like a Car Dealer at all. I really recommend them. read more

If you are desperate and have no where else to turn to by all means go here. Be prepared to be offered pennies on the dollar of what your items are worth My advice sell or buy anywhere online before you get ripped off by these guys. Plenty of online dealers will pay you more than spot price for you coins, gold, or silver! read more

Great shop for pawn or sale. Great folks who are fair and extremely nice to work with. This is the first place I will come when I have anything of value to sell. read more

Old Pueblo Coin has great prices and fair deals. I'd recommend them to anyone and everyone!!! Jessica- You are very mistaken. read more

I went there to pick up some stamps. I am part of a postcard club, and send them all over the world. They had a huge box of stamps in all kinds of denominations. I picked up some really sweet stamps. The prices were quite fair, and the people behind the counter were really nice. I will definitely be back. read more

It doesn't matter whether you're an investor, collector or its just your hobby. The staff and owner of OPC made my experiences there the best I've had in Tucson. I have nothing but great things to say and am confident you'll have the same experience. Thank you Ben. read more
