Coin Dealer in Mobridge, SD — What We Buy & Sell
Larsen's has been a coin dealer on Main Street in Mobridge since 1941. We buy and sell U.S. silver coins, bullion and select collectible pieces, and we evaluate coin collections and estate lots in person. Walk in during business hours — no appointment.
U.S. Silver Coins
Pre-1965 dimes, quarters and half dollars at 90% silver, plus Morgan dollars, Peace dollars and Kennedy halves. Bring them loose, in rolls, or as a full collection — no sorting required.
Bullion Coins & Rounds
American Silver Eagles, generic .999 silver rounds and bars. Evaluated on weight, verified purity, condition and the current silver market at the time of your visit.
Gold Coins & Bullion
Gold coins and small gold bullion pieces — American Gold Eagles, Krugerrands, Canadian Maple Leafs, old U.S. gold and generic gold rounds and bars — are evaluated on authenticity, purity, weight and buyer demand. Bring any packaging, certificates or purchase paperwork you still have.
Collectible & Numismatic Coins
Some coins are worth considerably more than their metal. Key dates, mint marks and condition all move the number. We tell you which category your coin falls into before any offer — including when the right answer is not to melt it.
Coin Collections & Estate Lots
Inherited a collection and have no idea what's in it? Bring the whole thing. We sort, identify and explain what's there, with no obligation to sell any of it. Call ahead for a large collection so we can set aside enough time.
Junk Silver
Mixed bags of circulated 90% silver coins — and the 35% silver war nickels from 1942 to 1945 that people usually miss — bought by weight and silver content. Extremely common in inherited collections, old coffee cans and dresser drawers, and frequently worth far more than people expect.
Silver Bullion and Coins We Buy and Sell
The list below covers the silver items customers most often bring to Larsen's. Availability for purchases varies with inventory and market conditions.
Silver Rounds & Bars
Common .999 fine silver rounds and bars in sizes such as 1 oz, 5 oz, 10 oz and larger formats. Recognizable refiners and private mints may include Engelhard, Johnson Matthey, PAMP Suisse, Sunshine Mint and others.
American Silver Eagles
Bullion, proof and collectible American Silver Eagles. Authenticity, condition, packaging and current demand can affect value beyond the underlying silver content.
U.S. Silver Coins
Pre-1965 dimes, quarters and half dollars, plus Morgan dollars, Peace dollars and other qualifying U.S. silver coins. Date, mint mark and condition are reviewed before collectible coins are treated as melt.
Sterling & Collections
Sterling jewelry, flatware and marked .925 items, as well as inherited coin collections and mixed precious-metal groups. Bring original cases, albums, certificates or paperwork when available.

How an In-Store Silver & Coin Evaluation Works
The purpose of the evaluation is to identify what you have and explain the factors affecting the offer before any transaction takes place.
Bring the Items In
Bring your rounds, bars, coins, sterling or collection during regular business hours. For a large group or a longer drive, call or text photos first.
We Inspect and Weigh
We review markings, weight, purity, dimensions, condition and other physical characteristics. Appropriate verification methods are used when needed; no single screening test is treated as proof by itself.
We Explain the Offer
We explain the verified information and current market reference used for the offer. You can accept, decline or ask questions without pressure.
What Affects Silver & Coin Value?
Offers depend on current market conditions, verified purity and weight, item type, condition, quantity and resale demand. Recognizable bullion and certain coins may carry value well above basic melt.
Premium and Dealer Spread
A premium is value above the underlying silver content, often associated with fabrication, recognizability, government-issued bullion or collector demand. The difference between a dealer's buying and selling prices is generally called the dealer spread.
Three Ways to Turn Coins or Silver Into Money
Selling outright is not the only option, and it is not always the best one. Here are the three routes, with the trade-off stated plainly for each.
1. Sell Outright
Fastest and simplest. You are paid at the counter and the item is ours. Best for bullion, junk silver and anything you have already decided to part with.
2. Pawn Loan — Keep Ownership
Qualifying coins, bullion and sterling can be used as collateral instead. You get cash now and the item back when the loan is repaid. Terms are explained in store before you agree. How pawn loans work →
3. Consignment — 60/40
We display and sell the piece for you and split the sale 60% to you, 40% to us. Flat, no listing fees and no time limit — collect your money any day we are open. Often the better answer for a collectible coin worth more than melt, because it can wait for the right buyer.
Buying Silver Bullion and Coins in Mobridge

Before You Bring Coins or Silver to Larsen's
A few simple steps make an in-store review faster and help preserve collectible value.
Bring Valid Photo ID
Bring a current government-issued photo ID when completing a silver, coin or precious-metal transaction.
Do Not Clean Coins
Cleaning can destroy collector value — often permanently, and often on the exact coin that was worth the most. Bring them as found, including pieces that look toned, dirty or heavily circulated.
Keep Packaging Together
Bring tubes, capsules, boxes, certificates, albums, receipts and appraisal paperwork when available.
Bring the Full Group
Mixed or inherited collections do not need to be perfectly sorted. Bring the full group so potentially collectible pieces are not missed.

Coin Dealer, Silver Bullion & Collectibles Questions
Is there a coin dealer in Mobridge, SD?
Yes. Larsen's Jewelry & Half Interest Pawn at 211 N Main St is the coin shop in Mobridge and has bought and sold coins here since 1941. We handle U.S. silver coins, Morgan and Peace dollars, American Silver Eagles, junk silver, gold coins, bullion and coin collections. Walk-ins welcome during business hours — no appointment needed.
Do you buy whole coin collections?
Yes. Bring the entire collection exactly as it is — albums, folders, rolls, bags, capsules and all. There is no need to sort it first, and sorting sometimes causes people to set aside the piece that mattered most. Call (605) 845-3759 ahead for a large collection so we can set aside enough time to go through it properly.
How do I know if my coin is worth more than its silver?
Date, mint mark, condition and rarity all matter, and some coins are worth considerably more intact than melted. That's exactly what an in-person look is for. We identify which category your coin falls into and tell you before any offer — including when the honest answer is that it should not be melted.
Where can I sell coins near me in Mobridge, SD?
At Larsen's, 211 N Main St in Mobridge. Customers drive in from Selby (20 miles), McLaughlin (30.8), Pollock (37), Herreid (38.2), Timber Lake (41) and Gettysburg (60.1). Larsen's is the only pawn shop in Mobridge and the only full-service pawn shop and jewelry store within about 90 miles; the next comparable counters are roughly 100 road miles away in Aberdeen, Pierre or Bismarck. Road miles and drive times →
Can I consign a coin collection instead of selling it outright?
Yes. On consignment we display and sell the piece for you and split the sale 60% to you and 40% to us — flat, with no listing fees and no time limit. You can collect your money any day we are open. For a collectible coin worth more than its metal, consignment often beats an outright sale, because it can wait for the right buyer instead of being priced for a quick counter transaction.
What is junk silver worth?
Junk silver is circulated pre-1965 U.S. dimes, quarters and half dollars at 90% silver, valued on weight and silver content rather than collector appeal. What it is worth on any given day tracks the silver market, so it is quoted at the counter after the coins are weighed rather than published here. War nickels from 1942 to 1945 are 35% silver and get checked too — they are the ones people most often miss.
Do you buy gold coins as well as silver?
Yes. American Gold Eagles, Krugerrands, Canadian Maple Leafs, older U.S. gold coins and generic gold rounds and bars are all evaluated on authenticity, purity, weight and buyer demand. Gold jewelry and scrap gold are handled on the Cash for Gold page.
Do you look at graded or slabbed coins?
Bring them in exactly as they are — do not break a coin out of its holder before you come in, because that cannot be undone. We will look at the coin and the holder together and tell you how we are reading it.
Does Larsen's buy silver bullion and coins?
Yes. Larsen's buys many forms of silver, including rounds, bars, American Silver Eagles, pre-1965 U.S. silver coins, Morgan and Peace dollars, sterling silver and qualifying coin collections. Final acceptance depends on in-store inspection and verification.
Does Larsen's sell silver bullion?
Yes, when inventory is available. Call (605) 845-3759 before making a special trip for a specific round, bar, coin or quantity.
How much does Larsen's pay for silver?
Silver offers depend on the current market, verified purity and weight, item type, condition, quantity and resale demand. We explain the applicable information before you decide, rather than advertising a percentage that may not apply to your item.
What should I bring with an inherited coin collection?
Bring the entire collection, including albums, folders, rolls, bags, capsules, certificates and notes. Do not clean the coins. Call ahead for a large collection so enough time can be set aside.
Can I text photos before driving to Mobridge?
Yes. Text them to (605) 850-9455. Include a group photo and clear close-ups of dates, mint marks, purity stamps and packaging. Photos provide only a preliminary review; final pricing requires an in-store inspection.
Can I get cash without permanently selling my coins or silver?
A pawn loan may allow qualifying silver, bullion or coins to be used as collateral. Loan amounts, charges, due dates and redemption terms are explained in store before you agree.
