Coin Dealers in Wilmington, NC
Are you looking to buy coins from a coin dealer in Wilmington, NC? There are a few good options in Wilmington for you. As I have said, I do not typically sell coins and I am not the best source to purchase coins for your coin collection. When it comes to purchasing coins, it is very important to find a reputable coin dealer. Unfortunately, there are many fake coins in the marketplace and you have to be very careful when buying coins. It is tempting to buy coins online on websites like EBay, but, it can sometimes be hard to establish a real coin from a counterfeit coin from photos and a description alone. Although Wilmington is not a large city, there are some very good options when looking for a reputable coin dealer in Wilmington.
The other day, I had the pleasure of meeting Robert Powell, a coin dealer and owner of Robert Powell Rare Coins. His resume is quite impressive and he has a great inventory of coins available for purchase. Robert Powell Rare Coins is not a typical coin shop, instead, Robert runs Robert Powell Rare Coins from an upscale office setting and meets with collectors by appointment only in Wilmington. If you are looking to purchase coins for your collection from a coin dealer, Robert Powell would be a great first call to make and I am sure that he can find whatever you are looking for.
In addition to Robert Powell there are several other coin dealers in Wilmington.

If you would like to meet with Phil, it is best to call him and schedule an appointment. He typically sets up appoints and meets at the Wells Fargo Bank on Military Cutoff Road.
Coin Market Inc. (formerly Don’s Coins on Market Street) – Wilmington Coin Dealer – Coin Market Inc. is a full service coin shop on Market Street. They are a great one stop coin shop for all of your collecting needs. Not only do they buy and sell coins but they also have most of the collecting supplies that you may need and all at reasonable prices. Regardless of if you collect bullion, numismatic coins, or paper notes, Coin Market Inc. has many of the coin collecting resources that you may require.
The absolute best thing about coin dealers is that you have the opportunity to inspect the coin, in person, prior to making the purchase. As they say, it is important to “buy the coin” on your own and not rely on third party graders or someone’s word. Please do your best to educate yourself prior to making any purchase. Also, feel free to reach out to me if you are looking for some advice.
If you do decide to purchase coins online instead of from a Wilmington coin dealer, please use caution. Never purchase a deal that is “too good to be true” or spend money when your gut tells you otherwise.
