Local coin dealers and bullion dealers don’t accept less than 80% of spot.
The most frequently recommended and established local coin and bullion dealers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area tend to be long-standing shops with professional affiliations (PCGS authorized, ANA members, or BBB accreditation), consistent customer feedback on fairness, and a mix of bullion plus numismatic inventory. Reputation in this industry often comes from decades of operation, transparent pricing relative to spot, and avoiding high-pressure tactics. jmbullion.com
Here are some of the stronger local options, grouped by area:
Fort Worth / West Side
• Southwest Gold & Silver (5124 Camp Bowie Blvd, Fort Worth) — Frequently praised for honesty, fair buy/sell prices, and knowledgeable staff. It has high Yelp ratings (around 4.8) and has operated since the early 1980s. Good for both bullion and coins. uscoinshows.com
• Fort Worth Coin Company (5224 Camp Bowie Blvd, Fort Worth) — Established in 1977, PCGS authorized dealer, and BBB A+ accredited. It offers a solid selection of U.S. coins, bullion, and currency with an on-staff numismatist. Reviews are mixed (typical for dealers on buy-side pricing) but many long-time customers highlight the inventory and service. bbb.org
• C R Gold & Silver (7511 Blvd 26, North Richland Hills) — Strong ratings (4.7+) with repeated comments on competitive pricing, straightforward dealing, and good inventory of popular bullion products like American Eagles and junk silver. Convenient for the mid-cities area. yelp.com
Dallas / North Dallas / Plano Area
• Heritage Auctions (Dallas, with a major facility near the airport) — The world’s largest numismatic auction house and dealer. Best for rare/high-value coins rather than everyday bullion walk-ins. Extremely reputable for serious collectors. coin-dealer-directory.money.org
• Lone Star Mint (805 E 15th St, Plano) — PCGS authorized dealer operating since 1983. Small, low-key shop with high ratings and praise for honest, knowledgeable service (often mentioned as a “go-to” local spot). Good for collectors and modest bullion purchases. pcgs.com
• Dallas Gold & Silver Exchange (DGSE) — Multiple DFW locations (one common address is 13022 Preston Rd, Dallas). One of the larger, longer-established local operations (decades in business) handling both bullion and rare coins. Convenient with several stores, though ratings are more mixed due to volume. jmbullion.com
• Southwest Numismatic Corporation (Dallas, appointment only) — PCGS authorized specialist in rare and high-grade U.S. coins, early type, and related material. Less of a walk-in bullion shop. pcgs.com
Other shops that appear in local recommendations and reviews include KC Gold, Silver & Rare Coins (The Colony), various Valley Goldmine locations, Alliance Gold and Silver Exchange, and Arlington Coins. Dillon Gage (Dallas-based) is a major industry player for wholesale, refining, and trading but is more B2B-oriented. dillongage.com
Practical Tips
Shop around—get quotes from 2–3 places, as buy prices (especially on bullion or common coins) can vary. Know current spot prices beforehand. Look for PCGS/NGC authorized dealers or ANA members for added credibility on graded or rare material. Hours, inventory, and exact policies change, so call ahead.
Local coin shows in the DFW area are also worth checking for additional dealers. Always verify current details directly with the shop.
