U.S. Rare Coin Investments specializes in high‑end rare coins and early American gold — from 1790s half eagles, eagles and quarter eagles to Saint‑Gaudens double eagles, three‑dollar gold, Stellas, patterns, and colonial regulated gold. Owner Thomas M. Pilitowski has spent over four decades locating extraordinary specimens at fair prices for collectors, investors, and fellow dealers nationwide.
Whether you are building a world‑class collection of certified U.S. gold, seeking investment‑grade rarities, or researching what a coin is truly worth, you’ll find depth here that the big‑box bullion sites cannot match — real expertise, real rarities, and the history behind every issue. We deal in PCGS‑ and NGC‑certified coins, many with CAC approval, and we stand behind every piece we place.
As a full‑service rare coin dealer, we also buy. If you are selling a single rarity or an entire collection — raw or slabbed — you are invited to offer it to us and name your price, or let us make our best offer.
