Before you visit a pawn shop, visit Clemson Coins in Pendleton, SC. We pay significantly more for coins, gold, silver, and jewelry — and we prove it with 500+ five-star Google reviews.
Pawn shops are generalists. We are specialists. The difference shows up in your offer.
Pawn shops need to resell your items at a profit and cover overhead. They typically offer 20–40 cents on the dollar for coins and precious metals.
As specialist coin and precious metal buyers, we pay significantly more because we know true market values and buy to resell to collectors at fair prices.
Most pawn shop employees are generalists. They cannot identify key dates, evaluate coin grades, or recognize the difference between a common coin and a rare one worth thousands.
Joe and Tracy have spent decades studying numismatics. We know every series, every key date, and every variety. You get expert evaluation, not a guess.
Pawn shops profit by offering as little as possible. Their business model depends on you not knowing what your items are worth.
We explain exactly how we arrive at our offer — current spot prices, auction results, population data. No mystery, no lowballing.
Unsolicited & Typical Google Reviews
First time stopping in today and Clemson Coins, Currency, Bullion & Jewelry absolutely blew me away. The owner is awesome: a real straight shooter who doesn't waste anybody's time, including his own. He was knowledgeable, straightforward, answered all my questions clearly, and gave honest advice without any pressure or fluff.
I've been to plenty of other coin, currency, and bullion shops around South Carolina, and this place stands out by far. The selection is excellent, everything is clean and well-organized, and he has the best prices period. The owner clearly knows his stuff and runs a great shop with real integrity and an amazing team.
If you're in the Upstate or anywhere in SC looking for coins, currency, bullion, or jewelry, do yourself a favor and go see the owner at Clemson Coins. I was extremely impressed on my first visit and will definitely be back. Best in the state, hands down. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
JUST GO TO CLEMSON COINS! Hands down the BEST buyer for your jewelry & coins! I went to a few other places that were enroute to Clemson Coins, Currency & Bullion: let's just say I was offered between 20% and 40% melt value at the other places. Within 5 minutes and no goofing around with acid tests (they have an XRF machine) I was offered more than a reasonable percentage of melt value from Clemson Coins. Don't get GOT at the other places! Worth the drive from Charlotte, NC if that tells you anything! Honest people are hard to find! I won't go anywhere else from now on!
Knowledgeable, fair treatment when I've brought in different pieces of jewelry. Always happy when I leave. Thank you!!
