About Us
Family-owned since 1988, with a simple promise: honest answers about what you have.
Our story
Ace Coins began the way many coin businesses do: with a childhood hobby that never let go. In 1988, that hobby became a full-time, self-employed venture, and Ace Coins was officially born.
For the next decade, the business ran from a small home office and traveled to as many as 50 coin shows a year, buying and selling with collectors and dealers across the country. Those years on the road built the knowledge and the dealer relationships we still rely on every day.
In 1999, we opened our shop at 3319 Avenue of the Cities in Moline, and we have been in the same location ever since.

Who we are today
Ace Coins Inc. is a small, family-owned business located at 3319 Avenue of the Cities in Moline, Illinois. We buy and sell U.S. coins, paper currency, and gold and silver bullion, and we serve everyone from first-time sellers to longtime collectors.
Many of the people who walk through our door have just inherited a collection, found something unusual in their change, or seen a video claiming a common coin is worth a fortune. We take the time to explain what a coin is, what it is worth and why, in plain language. If something is not worth much, we will tell you so, and if it is something special, we will tell you that too.
Beyond our counter, we also trade with dealers across the country through national dealer networks. That gives us a clear view of what coins are actually selling for, not just what they are listed for online.
What to expect
- Straight answers. We explain what we are looking at and how we arrive at an offer.
- A clear buying list. We publish exactly what we buy, so you know before you make the trip.
- A personal touch. We are a small shop, not a chain. You will be dealing with the people who own the business.
