This is a list of common silver coins. Any United States dime, quarter, half dollar or dollar that is dated 1964 or earlier is made of 90% silver. In the early 1960’s, the silver supply for the nation’s coinage was dwindling rapidly. As Congress and the Administration debated over silver’s future role in coinage, the silver market jumped 10% immediately, and another 30% by 1962. This set the stage for the complete elimination of silver from our coinage by the end of 1964. Sell MidwestCoin.com your silver coins.

Silver Bullion
Sell MidwestCoin.com your silver bullion. Silver bullion rounds and bars are generally 99.9% pure silver. They may be minted by the government (Silver Eagles) or by a private mint (rounds and bars). I recommend staying with the government minted coins because they are more recognizable and trusted. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver, but is seldom used in coins and bullion.

Great experience. I had a large stash of silver coins to sell along with a few other miscellaneous bits of jewelry and watches. Chelle was fantastic to work with; I felt that everything was very fair and I understood how all the numbers and prices worked out. I will definitely return to Midwest Coin if I have more to sell.
Shelly was very helpful in my process of an inheritance of coins and giving me the right direction with my collection... Very much appreciated the help she gave me and steering me in the right direction.
We used Midwest to sell coins and jewelry from family collection.Shelly was knowledgeable and easy to work with. She gave us and our materials the time and attention needed to get a thorough evaluation completed and upon acceptance of her quote, she paid on the spot.
Best experience ever!! Shelly is amazing and takes the time to explain things and is more than fair with her pricing. No pressure to sell at all. Thank you Shelly for everything!!
Chelle was very personable and professional to work with. Obviously she has worked in this field for a long time as she is very knowledgeable about coin values. I left her office feeling good about my experience. When I returned home, I noticed that the amount paid on a gold coin was not in sync with the current price of gold. I called Chelle about this and she checked her records. She agreed that the amount was short and sent me a check for the difference. I am very grateful for this and admire her integrity. Will definitely use Midwest Coin again in the future.
Rochelle was a delight to deal with. Knowledgeable, professional and I felt I was given more than fair prices for all my items. Would use this company again in a heart beat.

Chelle the owner of Midwest coin and collectibles is a unique entrepreneur. Like all entrepreneurs for goal is to run a successful business.

Awesome place to go to sell my coins! She was very fair with her prices. Great customer service. Very knowledgeable about coins. Will definitely go here again!
Met with Sherry to unload some family coins and jewelry and managed to walk out feeling we rec'd a fair deal. Will not hesitate giving them our return business

Great experience at Midwest Coin. Rochelle is so friendly and personable. She made me feel very comfortable about parting with some family collectibles and paid a fair price. I wish I had more things to sell as I enjoyed the interaction so much.
I called Rochelle on a Saturday morning and she was happy to meet an hour after the call. She was very knowledgeable, offered me a fair price, and was fun to chat with. I will be back!
I am pleased with my experience with Midwest Coin the prices were fair and Chelle is great to work with she made things easy to understand and no pressure SO IMPORTANT. A friend was with me and she had indicated to me that she felt the same about her experience we both will be future clients if the need arises. Thank you!
Over the past month I have had a few phone conversations with Rochelle about some jewelry I wanted to sell. She was very knowledgeable, professional and kind. Today, I took my jewelry into her office for appraisal. Rochelle has a way of making you feel at home and was very helpful and honest and gave me an excellent offer. She is a delight to work with and I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for an appraisal of coins or jewelry! Thank you Rochelle, I truly appreciate you!!
Rochelle is absolutely amazing.I brought some gold jewelry in and she was extremely knowledgeable and more than fair with what she offered. Rochelle is kind and compassionate and I hope I am able to work with her in the future. Would highly recommend.
I had a wonderful experience with Rochelle at Midwest Coin and Collectibles. She was friendly and very professional. Her bid on my sterling was significantly higher than other dealers. I felt like I had made a new friend when I left. I am downsizing and will definitely call her if I find any collectibles. Doing business with her was a joy. Thank you Rochelle.
The owner is so friendly and responsive , and the prices quoted were all in line or higher than dealers nearby. Easy parking and access. My experience was excellent.
Very positive experience with Rochelle. She was professional, kind and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend taking your coins and valuables to her for an honest appraisal.
A wonderful experience! Knowledgeable, fair if not above fair. I would highly recommend Midwest Coin & Collectibles to my friends and family. She was even able to find me a contact for some other collectables that I am looking to rehome. Thank you Rochelle!!!
We took our inherited US Silver Coins to Rochelle at Midwest Coin and received personal attention and a fair offer. We had also gone to a nationally known buyer of Gold and silver, and those Guys had a much much lower offer. We highly recommend Midwest Coin.
Rochelle provided an incredibly satisfying experience when I met with her to sell some gold rings and a watch. I am confident that she offered me a more than fair price for these items and really appreciated how personable, helpful, and kind she was. I've been living abroad in Japan for decades, and this positive interaction during these challenging times reminded me that there are still lots of decent people back in my home state. Thanks, Rochelle!
I went to Midwest Coin & Jewelry today to value some rare coins and family jewelry. Rochelle provided an excellent, personalized appraisal process. She was very kind and experienced, and I would recommend her services to everyone!
I was very impressed with the professionalism and the excellent conversation. Of course I received a very fair price just like all the reviews say. There’s other ways to get rid of your jewelry and coins but this is by far the easiest and the most efficient. Anyways, thank you again and I will always keep you in my contacts if I ever need anything or if I know anyone who needs anything. Thank you!
Great experience selling estate jewelry to Rochelle at Midwest Coin and Collectibles. She gave me more than a fair price and is wonderful to work with.
Great! X 3. I recently inherited some coins and jewelry after our Mom passed away. Shelley was so welcoming and gracious. We went through everything and she spent time getting to know me personally. I walked away feeling very good.
Very pleasant experience! It’s appointment only but was in the area so I called to see if she was available on the dot, she was kind and welcoming. I was looking to sell some silver coins and she really knew about the currency. Gave me a great price on them as well!
My family and I were working on selling our families estate of gold jewelry, diamonds, and a large coin collection. I was referred to Rochelle by a past client who happened to live in the area. We live both in Florida and Edina. Rochelle made a special house call to my 88 year old Dad's while she was down in Florida and spent hours evaluating the collection. She explained everything to us and we sold! She suggested we hold on to three items for our family which we did. Thank you. Highly recommend her!!
