Walk in with your items, or call us first at (347) 724-9856 to talk it through.
Free expert evaluation

A transparent offer

Same-day cash
Accept and walk out with cash the same day. Decline and walk out with your items. Either way is fine.
Plain English. No mystery.
Two simple frameworks, depending on what you brought in.
Live spot price × weight × purity
For gold, silver, bullion, jewelry and scrap, we weigh your items, test the purity (10k, 14k, 18k, 22k, 24k, .925, .999, etc.) and calculate against the day's spot price — minus a fair, transparent margin. You see the math.
Rarity, condition & grade — not just melt
A rare or well-preserved coin is often worth far more than its metal content. We look at date, mintmark, condition, eye appeal, and where applicable, certified grade (PCGS / NGC) to value the coin against current collector demand.
The kind of coin shop you'd send your grandmother to.
Selling a coin collection or family gold can feel intimidating. Our job is to make it simple, clear, and comfortable.
A knowledgeable look
We take time to examine what you brought and explain what it is, in plain language.
Honest, transparent offers
We walk you through how we arrive at a price — no mystery, no lowball pitch.
Zero pressure
You're never obligated to sell. If the offer isn't right for you, take your items and go.
A real coin shop — not a pawn shop
Lou's is a neighborhood coin shop, not a flashy cash-for-gold counter and not a pawnbroker. We buy outright and we explain everything.
Your credentials here
Placeholder slots for the owner to add ONLY the memberships and credentials they actually hold (BBB, ANA, PCGS, NGC, etc.).
A real Park Slope storefront on 7th Avenue.
Lou's Coin Shop is a neighborhood coin dealer — somewhere you can walk in, set your items on the counter, ask questions, and get a careful, honest answer. We're not a pop-up cash-for-gold counter. We're here on 7th Avenue, and we'd rather earn your trust than rush a sale.
What sellers usually ask.
Do I need an appointment?+
No appointment needed — you're welcome to walk in. If you'd like, give us a call first at (347) 724-9856 and we can let you know a good time to come by.
Is the evaluation really free?+
Yes. Bringing items in for a look is always free, and there's no charge if you decide not to sell.
Am I obligated to sell?+
Never. If our offer isn't right for you, take your items and go — no pressure, no hard feelings.
How do you decide what to pay?+
Gold and silver are valued on the current spot price, weighted by the actual purity and weight of your items, with a fair, transparent margin. Collectible coins are valued on rarity, condition and grade — often well above melt value. We walk you through the math in plain English.
What should I bring? Do I need ID?+
Bring whatever you'd like us to look at — coins, gold, silver, bullion, jewelry, scrap, or an entire inherited collection. No need to clean or sort. New York requires a valid government-issued photo ID for any precious-metals transaction.
How fast do I get paid?+
Same day. If you accept the offer, you walk out with cash in hand.
Are you a pawn shop?+
No. We're a real neighborhood coin shop — not a flashy cash-for-gold counter and not a pawnbroker. We buy outright, explain what you have, and pay fairly.
