Currently, there are no restrictions regarding the sale, ownership, or purchase of rare coins. This provides certain tax and privacy advantages. However, it does not guarantee in the future that these benefits will not be restricted or totally removed by government regulation. Wisconsin law requires a sales tax of 5.00% on sales of coins and bullion with a purity lower than 35% and on currency that is sold above face value (known as collectible currency).

Oshkosh Coin Exchange understands that you may want more than one offer when it is time to sell your coins. We encourage you to let OCE see your items first. We cannot guarantee to make an offer on every coin or that we will be able to match or exceed and existing offer. What we can gaurantee is that we make competitive bids based at current market rates. OCE is extremely strong buyers of DMPL dollars (Seated, Trade, Morgan, and Peace), proof type coinage, and other high grade certified coins.
Yes! While we cannot guarantee at what prices. We will evaluate each piece and offer to repurchase at a fair market value at the time of sale.
Yes, please inquire at chris@oshkoshcoinexchange.com or call (920) 500-4114.
Yes. In addition to buying and selling certified coins, we do buy and sell gold, silver, platinum, and palladium bullion coins and bars for investment. Credit cards may not be used for these purchases as the fee we are charged by the credit card companies is often more than our margin. There purchases are completed by cash, cashier check, bank wire, or personal check. All checks will need to clear our bank before the items can be released (usually 7 business days). Cash purchases in excess of $10,000 will require an IRS form 8300. Bank wires, cashier checks, and personal checks do not require Form 8300, regardless of the amount purchased.
The coin and metals market is volatile and thinly capitalized. It is a market with substantial fluctuations that can be significant and rapid increases and decreases. Investors must be able and comfortable to assume the risk of such fluctuations. For this reason, rare coins and bullion are not a suitable investment for everyone. All prices are subject to change when buying or selling until a time at which the levels are secured, or “locked,” for your order. In the event this volatility affects your order, you will be notified with options of accepting the change, dropping the impacted items, or cancelling the order altogether.
No claim may be filed by a customer in connection with a particular coin more than one year after that coin was purchased by the customer regardless of when the customer became aware of the claim. This agreement is performable in and subject to the laws of Winnebago County Wisconsin. We are not perfect, and we do make mistakes from time to time. As such, we reserve the right to refuse to sell any item that is improperly priced or whose price is the result of a web page or programming error. Coins removed from original holders are considered SOLD and non-returnable. All items are subject to prior sale and may have limited availability.
Grades and descriptions of rare coins are opinions, not statements of fact or guarantees, and are based on standards and interpretations that can and do change over time. Oshkosh Coin Exchange uses contemporary grading standards and interpretations to grade coins and relies upon the opinions of independent grading services such as the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), The Numismatic Guaranty Corp (NGC), Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC), and ANACS. Each of these grading services is recognized by the coin industry for its expertise. Each firm guarantees the grade and certifies each coin to be authentic. OCE relies upon those guarantees in selling coins. However, we do not guarantee that the coins we sell will achieve the same grade from any independent grading service in the future and expressly disclaim any other warranties with respect to the coins, expressed or implied, including the implied warranties of merchant ability and fitness for a particular purpose. All coins are guaranteed genuine and are graded by ANA standards.
Our experts at Oshkosh Coin Exchange are happy to assist you through the process of selling your quality coins. Not all situations are the same. For certain scenarios consigning your coins to us to sell on your behalf may be a better option than selling them directly to us.
Consigning is a longer process and subject to market fluctuation. Consigning requires proper paperwork and is not for everyone.
