About Us

Mission

Our mission is simple: Make coin sales and trading as easy, open, and cost effective as possible. Whether you're interested in getting rid of some unusual old change, a casual collector, or a seasoned numismatist dealer, we offer the same services and low fees.

Why Rare-Change.com?

I'm Matt and I started Rare-Change.com after inheriting a family coin collection and becoming dissatisfied with the options available to buy and sell coins. Traditional coin dealer storefronts are good for serious collectors who know values and are willing to negotiate in person. Ebay is a very popular choice for online trading because of their legacy and high traffic, but they charge high fees and many fake coins listed. I don't like trading over Reddit or forums or other social media because of the inconvenience and lack of trust. Other sites from numismatic groups are often limited to only certified coins, live auctions, or narrow functionality.

We commit to:

• A low fixed 8% pre-tax sales fee* with a 50¢ minimum. Our fees include all services. For comparison, Ebay charges about 14% post-tax fees which can vary.
• All-inclusive auctions and trades. Payment processing included. Shipping purchased by the buyer and managed through our site.
• No promoted listings.
• Advertising elsewhere on the internet on behalf of our sellers.
• Optional identity verification of sellers so buyers can trust who they're working with.
• Active fraud investigations and a zero-tollerance policy for fraud. Raise a concern and we will imeediately look into it. We will not automatically assume a claim is accurate or not.
• End-to-end support.

* Lower rates are available on a case-by-case basis. Our fees are subject to change in the future and the community will be notified in advance before any change is made.
