EVANSTON’S LOCAL COIN & COLLECTIBLES SHOP

Oakton Coins & Collectibles has served the Evanston and North Shore community for over a decade, offering a friendly, knowledgeable place to buy and sell coins, precious metals, and unique collectibles. Located just minutes from downtown Evanston, we’re a convenient neighborhood shop where collectors, families, and first-time sellers all feel welcome.

One of the Area’s Most Trusted Shops

We’ve become one of the highest-rated coin and precious-metal shops in the region thanks to a simple approach: treat every visitor with respect, offer clear explanations, and provide fair, transparent pricing. Many of our customers come from personal referrals within Evanston, Rogers Park, Wilmette, Skokie, and the wider North Shore — a sign of the trust we’ve earned over time. Whether you’re selling family heirlooms or adding a new piece to your collection, you can count on honest guidance and a comfortable, pressure-free experience.

A Reliable Local Resource

People visit us for many reasons — evaluating an inherited collection, downsizing an estate, selling unused jewelry, or exploring the world of coin collecting. No matter the situation, we make the process simple and respectful.

We regularly appraise and purchase:

• U.S. & world coins
• Complete coin collections
• Gold, silver & platinum items
• U.S. & foreign paper money
• Estate jewelry
• Designer & Art Deco pieces
• Silver flatware & serving items
• Dental gold and broken jewelry

If you’re unsure what you have, bring it in — most items are identified in minutes.

Serving Evanston & the North Shore

Our shop regularly assists customers from Evanston, Rogers Park, Skokie, Lincolnwood, Morton Grove, Wilmette, Glenview, Northbrook, Highland Park, and more. Whether you’re a collector or simply cleaning out a drawer, we’re here to help.

Safe, Comfortable & Private

Security and comfort matter. Our location includes buzzer entry, private consultation areas, and free parking directly in front of the shop. If needed, we’re happy to walk customers to and from their vehicles.  We’re an authorized NGC and PCGS dealer, offering accurate evaluations and immediate payment — no long wait times or complicated processes.

Selling a Collection?

We buy entire coin collections of all sizes, from modest hobby sets to major lifetime accumulations. Unlike some shops, we do not cherry-pick. We make strong, competitive offers on everything and provide immediate payment. If you’re in Evanston or the surrounding North Shore and need a trustworthy, highly rated local shop for coins, precious metals, or estate items, we’d be glad to help.
