Derzon Coins

A family-owned West Allis coin shop with operator-reported Greater Milwaukee roots spanning more than 65 years and Friday appointments for larger collections.

A family coin shop serving Greater Milwaukee

Derzon Coins offers U.S. and world coins, paper money and precious metals from its West Allis shop. The operator describes buying, selling and appraisal work and explicitly discusses gold and silver offerings. Browse with a collecting goal in mind rather than expecting every advertised category to be in stock.

For a series collection, bring a list of missing dates and acceptable grades. If selling, a simple inventory can help keep individual coins distinct from material being considered mainly for metal content.

A long family history, carefully dated

The company’s story identifies David Derzon as its founder and says the business has remained family-owned. It reports more than sixty-five years serving the Greater Milwaukee area. That duration is not converted here into a precise founding year, and it does not date the opening of the current West Allis premises.

Match the collection to the appointment

The buying page treats a shoebox-sized collection as a possible walk-in visit, while larger groups and written appraisals should be scheduled. Friday is reserved for appointments. Small inquiries may be evaluated without charge, but written collection appraisals can involve a fee.

Explain the purpose of a report before booking: a proposed sale and a documented valuation are different requests. Ask what the finished report includes, what material staff will examine and how the charge will be calculated.

Confirm Friday timing directly

The address is 2069 S. 108th Street, West Allis, WI 53227; call 414-543-8833. Public hours are published for Monday through Thursday, with buying ending before the shop closes. Friday is appointment-only.

The buying page describes midday Friday appointments, while the FAQ mentions 9AM arrangements. Confirm the actual day, time and fee rather than choosing between those statements. The FAQ says appointments and appraisals are conducted in store.
