Rocky Mountain Coin

A Denver rare-coin, currency and precious-metals business founded in 1976, with a South Broadway storefront.

The Denver branch of a broader collecting business

Rocky Mountain Coin describes its business as rare coins, currencies and precious metals. This page covers the Denver shop on South Broadway; the operator also lists a separate Greenwood Village location. Use the Denver contact when arranging to see something in person.

An online reference can be the beginning of a collecting conversation without being the object you eventually buy. Save the title or identifying details of the example that interests you, then ask whether a comparable piece can be examined at the branch you plan to visit.

Founded in 1976

The company gives 1976 as its founding year and identifies Klaus J. Degler as its founder. That company milestone is distinct from the professional experience described for individual staff. The reviewed history does not establish an opening year for the present Denver premises.

An online archive is not a stock list

The gold and silver categories explicitly cover both metals as coins. Their examples range from British gold sovereigns to Morgan and Peace silver dollars. Both pages warn that sold items remain online as reference material, making direct confirmation particularly important.

When a reference example has sold, ask which features made it useful: a design type, date, mintmark, condition or historical association. Build your request around those features rather than insisting on an identical replacement. For an unfamiliar world issue, ask what catalogue or standard reference would let you continue researching it independently.

Choose the appraisal format in advance

The Denver shop lists 538 S. Broadway, Denver, CO 80209, and 303-777-4653. Its FAQ distinguishes verbal from written appraisals and asks customers to telephone for an appraisal appointment. Confirm the appropriate format, charges and visit arrangements before bringing the collection.

Take a short list

Three questions for the counter

  1. Is the online example available in Denver, or retained only as a reference?
  2. Which features should I use to identify a suitable alternative in my collecting area?
  3. Does my purpose require a written appraisal, and what charges and scheduling apply?
