American Rare Coin & Collectibles

A visit with a purpose

American Rare Coin & Collectibles operates from a professional office in Bloomington. Its in-person buying pages include US silver dollars and precious-metal bullion, making this a place to plan around a particular collecting or selling question rather than assume a conventional street-front browsing shop.

An inherited album and a stack of modern bullion deserve different conversations. Before visiting, write down what you know about the pieces and what you hope to understand: identification, a purchase comparison, or an offer for a collection.

From a small storefront

The company says it was founded in 1987 and began as a small storefront. Its present visitor arrangement is an office showroom. The company’s history should not be confused with the opening date of this office or with the combined experience of its staff.

Make the comparison visible

If you are considering a silver dollar, ask to see how date, mint, condition and certification affect that example’s price. For bullion, ask for the complete price for the exact quantity and payment method you intend to use.

For a collection sale, a simple inventory can keep the discussion organized. Record which items are being evaluated individually and which are being considered as a group, and keep original labels with the pieces.

Find the first-floor office

The visitor address is 7900 Xerxes Avenue South, Suite 140, on the first floor of the office tower. Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are preferred. Call 952-830-1400 to confirm arrangements, particularly when bringing a larger collection.
