I will be away from May 10 to May 14 to attend the San Francisco Historical Bourse. During this period I will not be able to process or ship orders and as usual when I get back there is be a bit of a backlog that will cause short delays. Tom will be here with the store open regular business hours.

I am working on an update to our Canadian coin listings, but due to a very high volume of orders for 1 cents following the governments announcement they would stop striking 1 cents, my time is nearly completely taken up with those and it will be a little while before I begin the 10 cent page update.

All of the items listed on this website are available both online (we ship world wide) or in our coin store in Calgary where we also have many coins as well as Canadian and world paper money not listed on the website. Please note that it is impossible to keep this website 100% up to date at all times, and occasionally an item still listed on this website may have already been sold and thus no longer be available. In our store we also buy many types of coins including Canadian coins, ancient coins, and modern world coins, US coins, plus any gold coins and silver coins both bullion and collector issues.

Our store is located in Calgary at : 1404 Centre Street SE, Calgary This is 4 1/2 blocks south of the Calgary Tower, 2 blocks west of the Stampede grounds. Our usual hours are Monday to Friday from 10:30 to 5, and Saturdays from 12 to 4. On weekends and holidays it is best to phone ahead (403-266-5262) just to be sure we are not away at an out-of-town coin show. A map to our location, and additional contact information, can be found on our : Contact Us Page

We are one of the few Calgary coin store specializing in collector coins for collectors at all levels. If you are a coin collector looking to add to your coin collection, Calgary Coin Gallery offers a wide selection of collector coins and other types of numismatic items from around the world. Our selection of Canadian coins includes coins in every price level and collecting interest. We also offer one of Canada's largest selections of ancient and medieval coins, including ancient Roman coins, ancient Greek coins, Chinese coins, medieval European and medieval British coins.

If you are looking to sell your coins or paper money, either as better single coins or entire collections, please bring them to our coin shop and we would be happy to examine them and make you an offer. Please note that we do not make offers based on lists of coins sent to us, as such lists always leave so many unanswered questions that make accurate offers impossible from lists.

Many people phone us asking the value of their coins. In most cases it is impossible to accurately assess a coin we have not actually seen, and thus we cannot provide accurate appraisals over the phone. We also cannot devote time to doing long lists of coins over the phone as we are usually just too busy in the store. If you phone and we are not too busy we may be willing to discuss a small number of coins (usually no more than 5) but only to give a general idea, and not an accurate appraisal.

Besides collector coins, we buy most types of bullion gold and silver coins, old gold jewelry, and sterling silver flatware and other silver objects. We do not charge a fee to examine your coins and make verbal offers, and we do it while you wait. We will do insurance and estate written appraisals on coin collections (not on jewelry) if time permits but we are not always able to take on such projects. Please check with us if you need such work done but note that we charge $50.00 per hour for written appraisals, or for verbal appraisals where itemization of all or part of the individual items are required.

In our store WE BUY ALL TYPES OF GOLD COINS AND JEWELRY, AND ALL TYPES OF SILVER COINS (but generally not silver jewellery). WE DO NOT BUY OR SELL GOLD OR SILVER BY MAIL.

Please note that we pay only by cheque in Canadian funds. We are licensed in the City of Calgary and are required to follow Calgary city bylaws which require us to file a police report on all such purchases, which requires you to have two pieces of ID, one of which has to be a government issued photo ID (Drivers license, passport, etc) and the other has to be something official but need not have a photo (heath care, etc), along with proof of your address (which may be on one of the ID's), and you will be required to sign the report. We cannot purchase your items if you do not provide the ID or are unwilling to sign the report.

We reserve the right to limit quantities we are willing to purchase at any one time, so if you have large quantities please call ahead.

For your convenience we have provided the Kitco gold and silver price charts IN CANADIAN FUNDS, listing the New York spot metals which are updated every minute throughout the day while the New York markts are open, Monday to Friday
