In the Northeastern corner of the United States, Maine borders Canada and the Atlantic Ocean. Maine was first settled by European colonists early in the seventeenth century, and was admitted to the Union in 1820 as the 23rd state. Known for its mountainous coastline and lobster cuisine, it is the least densely populated state east of the Mississippi River. Within Maine, there are a number of highly-rated coin shops, many of which specialize in early U.S. coinage.
Below is a list of local precious metals dealers in Maine, including directions to each local shop.
Maine Gold & Silver, a family-owned precious metal shop, carries gold and silver coins and jewelry. They offer PCGS, NGC, and ANACS coin grading submission, with a complimentary pre-screening service to ensure that the coins are worth grading.
Maine Gold & Silver buys gold, silver, and platinum jewelry and coins. They also offer appraisals and a full range of jeweler services. With their Scrap Metals For Charity program, Maine Gold & Silver has donated more than $40,000 to local organizations.
