About South Bay Coin
A full-service coin store and precious metals dealer in the heart of the South Bay. We buy and sell gold coins, silver coins, bullion, precious metals, and luxury watches from our Lawndale showroom. Licensed, bonded, and insured since 1980.
South Bay Coin, Lawndale, CA
South Bay Coin is a coin dealer and precious metals buyer located at 16916 Hawthorne Blvd in Lawndale, California. We have operated from the same South Bay location since 1980, serving thousands of customers across Los Angeles County.
We are not a pawn shop, a jewelry store, or a cash-for-gold kiosk. We are a coin store. That distinction matters because it changes how we value what you bring in. Pawn shops and gold buyers melt coins for scrap. We have the inventory, the customer base, and the platform to resell coins to collectors and investors at their true market value. That is why we consistently pay more when you sell, and offer competitive prices when you buy.
Our team has decades of combined experience in numismatics, precious metals, and estate liquidation. Every appraisal is free, private, and conducted in front of you. If you are looking for a trusted place to buy or sell coins in Los Angeles, come see us. Call (310) 363-7808 or walk in during business hours.
