The collector’s field guide / Coin shops
Parkville, Maryland · United States
Harford Coin Company
An appointment-only Parkville family dealer with US, world and ancient coin interests, plus currency and exonumia.
A specialist conversation arranged in advance
Harford Coin Company describes a second-generation family numismatic business covering US coins and currency, pre-1930 world coins, ancient coins, exonumia and reference books. Its Parkville storefront operates by appointment for buying, selling and verbal appraisals.
A focused enquiry is useful for such a wide field. Tell the shop which country, period or kind of object interests you, or describe the collection you want evaluated. Ask what can be covered in the appointment rather than expecting every collecting area to fit into one visit.

Keep the anniversary in its original context
The published company history marked its 58th year in business in 2021. That is the historical statement retained here: the reviewed page does not explicitly give a founding year. The opening date of today’s Satyr Hill Road premises is also unverified.
Follow the attribution and the reference
The operator’s Walking Liberty half-dollar category explicitly discusses the series and its silver content.
For an unfamiliar world or ancient coin, ask which details support its attribution and which reference identifies the type. Record an approximate date as approximate, and preserve any earlier ticket or provenance supplied with the piece. For tokens and medals, distinguish what the object says from a later explanation of who issued it or why. For a half dollar, ask which design details show wear and compare both sides before deciding whether the example suits your collection.
Wait for a confirmed appointment
Use 410-665-1814 to discuss a visit to 8722 Satyr Hill Road, Parkville, MD 21234-2826. The operator asks visitors to wait for a scheduled appointment and explains that it does not value coins from photographs, lists or spreadsheets. Plan for in-person examination.

Take a short list
Three questions for the counter
- Can we reserve time for the period or material I am bringing?
- Which reference and provenance details support this attribution?
- Does this visit provide a verbal evaluation, or should I arrange separate written appraisal documentation?
