South County Coin & Jewelry

A family coin and jewelry shop tracing its predecessor to February 1976, with U.S. collecting series and a public South County storefront.

U.S. collecting series in South County

South County Coin & Jewelry combines a coin counter with jewelry and related collectibles. Its coin page lists U.S. type coins, gold coins, Morgan and Peace dollars, and familiar cent, nickel, dime and half-dollar series.

A focused want list is useful here: record the denomination, date, mint mark and condition range you seek. Treat the published selection as an introduction to the shop’s interests, not a promise that every date is currently available.

From Joseph’s to South County

The operator dates its start to February 1976 as Joseph’s Stamp and Coin Shop. It says expansion brought the South County name in 1980 and describes relocation after its shopping center changed owners in 1999.

That account establishes a predecessor history rather than proving the present premises opened in 1976. The narrative’s elapsed-year wording is imprecise, so this guide does not assign a separate opening year to the Lemay Ferry address.

Compare the coin, not just the holder

The shop’s coin guide discusses independently graded holders alongside its collecting range. For a certified piece, read the attribution and grade carefully and inspect the coin itself before deciding whether it suits your collection.

Ask about cleaning, damage or other condition concerns and whether the price reflects a scarce variety. For a substantial purchase, compare like-for-like examples and request the applicable return terms. A slab does not promise future resale value.

The contact page gives 3325 Lemay Ferry Rd, St. Louis, MO 63125, and 314-892-3678. Posted opening is Tuesday through Friday, 9am–5:30pm, and Saturday, 9am–4pm; confirm before a special trip.

If bringing an inherited collection, describe its size and ask whether staff can set aside time. Keep envelopes, receipts and existing holders together, and establish any evaluation fee before leaving items at the shop.

Three questions for the counter

Do you have the dates and condition range on my want list?
Are there cleaning, damage or attribution issues I should understand?
Should I arrange a time for a collection review, and what will it cost?
