Sam Sloat Coins

An appointment-only Westport dealer in US, world and ancient coins, with company history dating to 1961.

A collecting conversation by appointment

Sam Sloat Coins operates a physical Westport shop alongside online sales. The business describes a range spanning US, world and ancient coins, paper money, bullion, tokens and medals. Visits are by appointment, making advance contact part of the plan rather than an optional extra.

Use that first contact to explain your interests precisely. A country, period, denomination or album gap gives a dealer more to work with than a request to see something interesting. If you want to discuss several unrelated collections, ask how much time to allow.

A business established in 1961

The operator states that Sam Sloat Coins was established in 1961. This is a company-history date; its published account does not establish when the present Post Road East premises opened. The longevity is a reason to explore the business’s place in collecting, without turning a self-description into a regional ranking.

Ask what identifies the piece

For a world or ancient coin, start with the attribution: issuing authority, place, approximate date and denomination. Ask which parts of the identification are certain and which remain a judgment. Keep any reference number and provenance information with the receipt, especially when a label is your starting point for further reading.

For a certified US coin, compare the slab’s identifying details with the piece itself and ask about the description of its surfaces. A grade number is a useful part of the discussion, but your notes should also explain why that particular example fits your collection.

Confirm before setting out

The address is 1767 Post Road East, Westport. Call 203-226-4279 to arrange a visit; the contact page explicitly states appointment-only access. Confirm what you intend to view or bring and the allotted time before making the trip. Do not rely on a directory’s ordinary opening-hours label as permission to walk in.
