Mid-American Rare Coin Galleries

"Great place to take your gold, Dino and Jeff are good at what they do. I got a more than fair price, you don't have to haggle because they aren't out to screw you. I will definitely do all my business there from now on. You do have to make appointment, but it's a safe , clean secure place."

"When I was 17, I had the honor of meeting Jeff and Mary Lynn Garret for the first time. I was a budding young coin dealer who was taken under Jeff's wing. Jeff not only helped increase my coin knowledge, but helped me in so many more ways, that the job I now have is all thanks to him! He spent the time and resources over the last 4 decades to help not only me but countless others succeed in their collecting and business endeavors! Passion is at the heart of Mid American!"

"I’ve been collecting & cataloging rare coins for over a decade, and consider myself a serious collector. However, when I acquired a rare variety of an Early Half Dollar, I knew this particular coin was out of my league. Without hesitation, I contacted Mid-American Rare Coin Galleries. For those of you who are unfamiliar, the owner, Jeff Garrett is considered one of the nation's top experts in Numismatics. Jeff has authored more numismatic books & articles than I’ll ever have time to read (and I love to read). I took the time to confirm my coin was in fact the rare variety I thought it was. Next, I photographed high quality images of both sides of the coin, uploaded the photos, and emailed them to Mid-American Rare Coin Galleries. First thing Monday morning I had an emailed response from Mr. Garrett along with his personal phone number. We arranged a time to meet at his gallery. Jeff immediately agreed that this coin was destined for auction. It was “off to the races” after that meeting. I knew that a coin of this caliber had to be first professionally graded. Mr. Garrett handled the entirety of this complicated process. Within a few weeks he personally called me and informed me of the coins grade and asked me to stop by his gallery. We discussed my options, covering the pros/cons of a few different auction houses, he provided a list of recent auction prices for the same coin and discussed how it might fair at one auction house of another. Mr. Garrett even went the extra mile to offer the option to solicit a private sale among some collectors that may have interest. When all was said and done, I decided to send it to auction. Again, Mr. Garrett handled all of the logistics. The next thing I knew, I had a check in hand, and was more than pleased with the outcome. Needless to say, I speak highly to the experience & professionality of the entire process. I was blessed to have Jeff mentor and guide me through such a complicated process. I highly recommend Mid-American Rare Coin Galleries to anyone who requires navigation in today’s rare coin market."

"I went to Mid-American Rare Coin Gallery today to sell coins from an estate. I met with a gentleman named Dino. I felt very comfortable with his honesty as I had researched the value of the coins as best as I could with a small knowledge base. I was paid a very fair price for the coins, more than I had expected. I recommend this company to anyone. I felt free to ask questions, and Dino gave honest answers without pause. I believe anyone can trust this company and come away satisfied."

"After my grandfather passed away, my family and I contacted Mid-American about an appraisal of his coins, which we knew very little about. The staff and Mr. Garrett were friendly on the phone (gave great, easy-to-follow directions) and we were able to get an appointment quickly. Mr. Garrett was generous with his time and accommodated us as we were traveling from out-of-town. We never felt pressured, he explained the appraisal to us and answered all of our questions. Ultimately, we sold the collection to Mid-American and this business transaction was trouble-free. Mr. Garrett provided us with a complimentary copy of the Red Book, a few coin tubes, and penny books to encourage me and my young children to begin collecting coins ourselves. Doing business with Mid-American and its personable staff was a pleasure and Mr. Garrett is truly an ambassador for the coin collecting world."
