Coin Dealer Serving Northern Virginia

A Regional Coin Dealer for the NoVA Way of Life

Northern Virginia is not really a single market, it is a constellation of established residential communities running from the historic core of Old Town Alexandria up through Arlington, west through Falls Church and Vienna into McLean, Great Falls, and Oakton, and outward across Fairfax County, into Loudoun's horse country, and through Reston, Herndon, Leesburg, Ashburn, and Middleburg. The collections that come out of those communities are equally varied, multi-generation family hoards built by federal, military, and Foreign Service careers; serious Whitman album work assembled across the 1960s and 70s; bullion stacks layered in during the 1980s, 2008, and the post-COVID run-up; and significant pre-1933 U.S. gold quietly held in safe deposit boxes from McLean to Ashburn. What ties them together is that almost none of these collections want to be loaded into a car and driven to a strip-mall storefront. They want a credentialed professional who will come to the residence.

That is exactly what Hicks Coins is. Hunter Hicks is an ANA (American Numismatic Association) and PNG (Professional Numismatists Guild) member numismatist based in the City of Falls Church, which puts every major NoVA jurisdiction inside a 45-minute drive. There is no storefront, no walk-in counter, no third parties brought into your home, just one professional, a written line-item valuation, and a firm offer settled on the spot.

Why the Concierge Model Fits a Regional Market

A traditional coin shop is built around the foot-traffic model: you box up your material, drive it across town, hand it across a counter to whoever is on the floor that day, and hope the person who actually evaluates the collection has the expertise to do it justice. For a low-value bag of common silver, that's fine. For an estate's gold, a deep type set, paper currency, or anything with real numismatic premium, it is a poor fit. Storefronts also have to support rent, payroll, signage, and inventory carrying costs, and those overhead dollars come straight out of the price they can pay you.

The concierge model is the opposite. Hunter drives to you, evaluates everything in front of you using physical reference catalogs and current third-party graded comps, and writes the offer in front of you. The overhead is lower and the relationship is direct with a single credentialed buyer, so the transaction is faster, typically same-day from first text to settled payment. And because everything happens inside your home, your collection is never out of your sight and never insured to a third party in transit.
