What Dean buys and sells across the counter on Illinois Street
Four things come through the door at Kansas Coin Connection: coins, paper money, metal by weight, and people who just want to know what they have. Start with the biggest tray, or pick the one that matches what is in your hands.
Tray 01CoinsBuy · Sell
Coins, certified and raw, side by side under glass
The tall case holds US Mint silver proof sets and wartime nickels next to gold and silver coins, silver dollars, wheat pennies and Buffalo nickels. PCGS and NGC certified coins sit among the raw ones, so you can compare them in person before you decide.
