Austin Rare Coins & Bullion
An appointment-only Austin office for bullion and rare coins. Confirm the shop’s transaction thresholds before planning a visit.
Begin with a conversation
Austin Rare Coins & Bullion is an office-based dealer rather than an open walk-in browsing stop. Its published focus includes bullion and US, world and ancient coins. Start by describing the pieces you want to buy or sell and asking whether the office can accommodate that visit.
This distinction matters when a collecting interest becomes a special trip. A clear exchange beforehand can establish whether the relevant coins will be available to inspect and whether the shop handles the size and type of collection you have.

Business history since 1989
The operator dates the business to 1989. That describes its trading history, not a verified opening date for the current Research Boulevard office. Its contact page confirms that office visits require appointments.

Prepare for a focused appointment
For a rare-coin discussion, send or bring a concise wish list: type, date range, budget and any certification preference. Ask what evidence accompanies an attribution and which features account for the price.
For a possible collection sale, begin with an inventory and a general description. Confirm what the shop is interested in before transporting the pieces. Ask for the proposed method of evaluation and the terms of any offer.
Confirm the threshold before travelling
The office is at 13809 Research Blvd, Suite 405. Call 512-231-1601 to arrange a visit.
The FAQ gives a USD 5,000 minimum for local appointment purchases. It also says that collections offered by sellers who are not existing clients must be valued above USD 5,000 to be considered. Confirm the applicable policy directly; an appointment request is not an accepted booking.
