At Calgary Coin Gallery, run by Rej Desjardins and Robert Kokotailo, we buy and sell all types of collector coins and paper money, including Canadian, world, ancient Greek and Roman, plus most types of gold and silver bullion.
If you have coins, gold or silver to sell please bring them in and we will assess them on the spot and make an offer without charge. We buy outright with immediate payment.
If you are looking to purchase coins for your collection, all the coins listed on this website are available in the store, plus many more not yet listed on the website.
As of October 1stI am working to catching up on mail order plus a full audit of this site to remove sold coins and add new purchases from the recent coin shows. I now have finished the 1 through 50 cent listing, plus all certified coins and coins over $60 in all catagories, but will have to wait until next week after the Toronto coin show to finish things:
I will be attending the Toronto Coin Expo on the 4th and 5th of October where I will be sharing a table Greg Jones. I will be travelling light so if you see something on this site you would like me to bring, please contact me before October 2nd. I will be there looking to buy ancient and medieval coins.
Some web browsers keep cached copies of websites you visit and load those rather than the latest version. I recommend when returning to one of our pages you be sure to load the newest version one of three ways: 1) Hit the refresh button next to your address bar. 2) Press CONTROL-ALT-F5. 3) Use the button below. All do the same thing but you may have to do it more than once to be certain.
As well as collector coins and paper money and most types of gold and silver coins and bullion rounds and bars, we sometimes buy scrap gold jewelry if time permits but assessing jewelry is more time consuming than coins and bullion. We also purchase larger silver items such as flatware, tea sets, etc.
We keep limited cash on hand so when buying larger collections we will have to pay by my company cheque. We are licensed in the City of Calgary and follow the city bylaws requiring us to take your ID and file a city report on all purchases. You will need two pieces of ID including a non-expired government photo ID such as a driver's license, Alberta ID, passport, etc. The second ID can be anything official and need not have a photo, such as heath care, credit card, etc. You must provide proof of your address if not on your ID, such as a bill addressed to you. Preparing the report usually takes only a few minutes and you will be required to sign it. If you cannot provide the required ID or are unwilling to sign the report, we cannot buy your items.
We ship to addresses in Canada and USA but generally not other countries. This is mostly due to sales tax rules many countries have implemented requiring the shipper to collect their taxes from the buyer, register with the tax department in that country and arrange to forward the proceeds. For a smaller business like ours the logistics of that can prohibitive.
These Kitco gold and silver charts are in Canadian dollars showing the New York spot metals prices and are updated throughout the day. Please note that Kitco is still having some technical problems and occasionally these charts are not updated, in which case the date below them will not be current.
