Bismarck Gold and Silver Exchange
A Bismarck collectible-coin and precious-metals business reporting service since 1979, now listed on East Broadway Avenue.
A local counter for coins and precious metals
Bismarck Gold and Silver Exchange describes buying and selling collectible coins and precious metals. Its website also lists buying interests in scrap jewelry and sterling items. This page concerns the coin business at the operator’s current East Broadway Avenue address.
A mixed family collection benefits from a little preparation before the conversation starts. Keep coins in their existing holders and group any accompanying invoices or handwritten labels with them. Separate your questions about identification, collector interest and selling rather than treating the entire box as one undifferentiated lot.

Serving local collectors since 1979
The operator dates its service to local collectors to 1979. That is a business-history milestone, not an opening date for the present East Broadway premises, whose starting year remains unverified here.

Ask what makes a coin collectible
Gold coins and silver coins are separately identified on the operator’s homepage. The website describes the business broadly rather than providing a detailed list of available dates, grades or individual pieces.
For a coin that might carry collector value, ask which visible features matter beyond its metal content. A date, mintmark or unusual variety may change the appropriate comparison. If several coins are being assessed together, request an explanation of how they have been grouped and whether any need individual attention.
Take notes on the explanation, not just a single total. That makes a later discussion with another dealer or a specialist more useful, particularly when you are still learning the terminology. There is no need to decide on a sale before you understand what is being offered.

Take a short list
Three questions for the counter
- Which coins should be assessed individually rather than grouped by metal content?
- What dates, mintmarks or varieties would make a specialist opinion useful?
- When would be a suitable time to discuss the size and type of collection I have?
