Edelman’s

A Jenkintown showroom for coins, paper money and bullion, with predecessor-business roots in 1926 and a move here in 1966.

Coins and paper money in Jenkintown

Edelman’s maintains a showroom on York Road in Jenkintown. Its collecting categories include bullion, numismatic coins with an emphasis on graded material, and paper money. The published paper-money range includes error notes, large-size types and colonial currency; these are areas to ask about rather than a list of guaranteed stock.

Choose a collecting aim before comparing offers. Filling a date-and-mint gap, finding a representative type coin and buying silver by weight are different tasks. A short written brief makes it easier to keep the discussion focused when several categories share the counter.

A 1926 origin, a 1966 move

The company traces its beginning to Louis Edelman’s Loan Office in West Philadelphia in 1926. Its history dates the move to the current Jenkintown location to 1966 and describes a subsequent emphasis on coins, stamps and antique jewelry. The earlier year belongs to the predecessor business, not proof of coin-only trading at this address for a century.

Read the description as well as the grade

When looking at a certified coin, write down its date, mint, variety and certification details, then ask how the seller describes its surfaces. Compare the same type and grade before drawing a conclusion from a price difference. A holder can organize the conversation, but it should not replace examining the coin.

For paper money, ask about folds, repairs, trimming and any qualification in the description. Keep the note’s identifying information and the agreed condition together on your receipt. If selling a mixed collection, ask which pieces are being valued individually and which form a larger group.

Arrange enough time at the showroom

The showroom is at 301 York Road, Jenkintown, with telephone 215-572-6480. The official contact page invites visitors and publishes the current schedule. Check directly before travelling, particularly if you need a longer discussion or want to view a specific piece rather than browse.

Three questions for the counter

Can I compare examples in my chosen series or grade during a showroom visit?
What condition qualifications and certification details belong on the receipt?
If I bring a collection, which items would receive individual offers rather than a combined figure?
