American Heritage Minting
Since 1973
About American Heritage Minting
We have bought and sold coins from the same Jenkintown address since 1973 — fifty-two years at one location.
The man who started it
American Heritage Minting was founded in 1973 by William Patrick Paul — my father.
His name is in the books collectors still use. He was Contributing Editor of A Guide Book of English Coins with Ken Bressett, a contributor to The Red Book: A Guide Book of United States Coins, and one of four original contributors to Le Franc.
I run the business now, from the office he opened.
That matters to you for a practical reason. When we tell you what a coin is and what it's worth, that judgment comes from a standard built over fifty years in one place — not from a price guide and a loupe.
— Thomas Paul
If you're selling
Most of what comes through our door now arrives the same way: someone inherited a collection, or is settling a parent's estate, and has no idea what's in the box.
We will tell you honestly what you have, including when the answer is that it isn't worth your trip.
We buy U.S. gold and silver, key-date and certified coins, and complete collections and estates of any size. For larger collections we come to you rather than asking you to transport them, and we work with families, executors and estate attorneys regularly.
You'll get a straight number and an explanation of how we reached it. Send photos and we'll make you an offer, or call 215-576-7272.
Credentials you can verify
We are a PCGS and NGC Authorized Dealer and a CAC Dealer. Each of those services publishes a public dealer directory — worth checking, with anyone you're considering handing a collection to.
If you're buying
We maintain an extensive raw and certified inventory of United States gold, silver, copper, type and scarce-date coins. Our sourcing takes us to Europe, Great Britain and Australia for material that rarely reaches the U.S. market.
Most of our retail runs through our eBay store. Inventory changes constantly — if you don't see what you're after, we may well have it. Send us your want list below.
