Gold coins walk through our door every week — a single American Gold Eagle from a drawer, a tube of Buffaloes from a safe, a grandfather's pre-1933 double eagles wrapped in a handkerchief. LBC Pawn Cash For Gold 3% Loans* buys gold coins in Boston every day, from first-time sellers settling an estate to longtime collectors trimming a position.
Text a photo of the front and back of your coins to 857-867-6468 and we will quote you by text before you make the drive. Accept the number and you get paid the same day — cash in hand, or by check if you prefer. Your choice, every time. Bigger collections are handled privately — coin deals over $2,000 are done in our private VIP room, away from the counter.

Loose, tubed or slabbed — it does not change the honesty of the price. Every coin is tested on our Sigma Metalytics verifier at the counter, in front of you, and priced against the live gold spot price before we make the offer.
How it works
1. Text for a quote first. Front and back photos of your coins to 857-867-6468 — get a real quote by text before you travel.
2. Bring them in. 1107 Commonwealth Ave, Boston — Mon–Fri 11–6:30, Sat 11–4:30. Your coins are weighed and tested at the counter, in front of you — and deals over $2,000 move to our private VIP room.
3. Get paid the same visit. Cash in hand the same day — or a check if you prefer. Rather keep your coins? Borrow against them at 3% per month* and redeem them later.
Why sell your gold coins here?
Mail-in coin buyers ask you to ship thousands of dollars in gold across the country, wait for their inspection, and hope the payment matches the quote.
Online marketplaces clip double-digit fees, and gold coins in the mail invite chargebacks, return games and 'not as described' claims.
At LBC Pawn your coins are tested in front of you, priced against the live gold spot price, and paid the same day — cash or check, your choice. Deals over $2,000 are handled in our private VIP room.
Big collection? It stays private
Coin deals are personal, and at LBC Pawn they stay that way. Any transaction over $2,000 is handled in our private VIP room — away from the counter and the front door — where your coins are tested and priced in front of you. One coin or a full estate collection, nobody else in the shop needs to know your business.
What a loan costs — in plain numbers
| If you borrow | After month 1 | After month 2 | After month 3 | After month 4 |

That first month includes the one-time 8% charge; after that it is a flat 3% per month. No hidden fees, no surprises — the full cost is printed on your ticket.

Questions we hear
- How do I get a quote for my gold coins?
- Text a photo of the front and back of your coins to 857-867-6468. We reply with a quote based on the live gold spot price, and the final number is confirmed at the counter after a quick test in front of you.
- Do I get paid in cash or by check?
- Your choice. We pay cash in hand the same day, or write you a check if you prefer — same visit, no waiting, no payment holds.
- Do you buy world gold coins and damaged coins?
- Yes. Maple Leafs, Krugerrands, Sovereigns and other world gold are priced on gold content and purity, and damaged, cleaned or jewelry-mounted coins are still worth real money — bring them in and we will test and price them in front of you.
- Can I borrow against my gold coins instead of selling?
- Yes. Loans run at 3% per month* (plus the one-time 8% first-month charge), up to 4 months and renewable — your coins are tagged and stored securely until you redeem them.
