Expertise

Our team has over 60 years of experience in the precious metals profession. We take what we do very seriously and that translates into accurate, fair pricing for you.

Security

Our coin shop is protected by on-site security, so you can feel safe and secure while buying or selling all types of metals.

Real People

Buying and selling gold and silver online from a faceless company can be a scary process. Hyatt Coins is a three-generation family business and since 1959 we have remained Charlotte's oldest and largest coin dealer.

Education

It's always exciting to reach more collectors and coin owners, to promote ongoing education in coin collecting. We always enjoy the opportunity to tell customers more about the exciting world of "numismatics" and also to learn from them! We believe that good information leads to good decisions.

Real Value

Interested in buying precious metals? You're in the right spot. – for multiple reasons...

  • No State Sales Tax
  • Large In-stock Inventories
  • Buy and sell in one place without the risk of shipping or checks in the mail.

No Sales Tax

North Carolina is one of the best places in the country to purchase precious metals (or collectible coins & paper money) because there is no state sales tax on these items. Due to the large volume of precious metals that are bought and sold every day in our store, we keep a large stock of the most popular products as well as a large variety of more specialized items.


Pro Tips

Tip #1

If you plan to use your debit card in our store (our most popular option by far) please be advised that your bank will want to know that it is YOU using your own card (this usually kicks in on transactions exceeding $3,000+). This is for your protection, and can be made easy with a simple phone call to the number on the back of your card.  Tell them you are about to make a purchase of a price-sensitive item and you need it to run as “US Debit with PIN number” and they can temporarily increase your security limit.  This can be done before or at the time of your transaction, these calls usually take about 10-12 minutes.

Tip #2

Bank Wires are easier than they used to be. With a few emails back and forth to confirm pricing (and to formally lock in your prices) you’ll be able to take a couple of pieces of paper (or just your phone) to your bank and they’ll do all the work for you. No need to withdraw cash, no need to change your debit card limits, and you’ll be able to pick up your order in three business days – often having to make only one trip.  Most banks charge around $12-$15 to send a wire, and this is most popular with our out-of-town customers.

Tip #3

Cash is still very popular, but does require a little bit more time and can sometimes lead to reporting thresholds (more information below). Do your homework, and know that debit cards are granted the same price as cash as a courtesy to make your purchase easier.

Payment Options

Cash: Lowest price and immediate pickup available
Debit with PIN number: Lowest price and immediate pickup available
Credit Card: Processing fee of up to 4.2% and immediate pickup available
Personal Check/ACH: Lowest price and pickup on or after 10 business days
Bank Wire: Lowest price and pickup on or after 3 business days
(We do not accept cashier’s checks; personal checks are better and have the same pickup timing as a cashier’s check would have had anyway)

Note on Reporting requirements: We respect your privacy and wish to protect your information and our business. There is generally no reporting of precious metals transactions.  What is required to be reported is cash payments over $10,000 in single or related transactions (such as installment payments on a large order). If you’re not handing us cash currency in excess of $10,000 there will be no reporting to any government institution.
