Coin Dealer Serving Lake Highlands, TX

Lake Highlands filled up in the 1960s and 1970s with young families buying ranch houses off Audelia Road, Skillman Street and Ferndale Road. Their kids cheered for the Wildcats at Lake Highlands High School, and many of those parents stayed for fifty years. Now their children are the ones calling about the coins. Plenty of them still remember when Flag Pole Hill was the place to fly a kite on a windy Sunday.

The timing explains the collections. Those parents were saving when silver left the dime and quarter in 1965, and plenty of them pulled the older coins out of their pocket change by hand. Kennedy halves went into a drawer too, and the halves dated 1965 to 1970 still hold 40% silver. Those halves are easy to miss in a drawer full of clad coins, so Chris checks every date.

Proof sets from the 1960s and 1970s turn up in nearly every Lake Highlands estate. Some carry a modest premium. Others sell for close to face value. Chris checks each set and tells you the truth about it, even when the answer is a little disappointing. He will also point out the sets that are worth keeping in the family simply because Mom bought them the year each child was born.

There are surprises, too. A dad who worked downtown at one of the big banks may have tucked a few Morgan dollars or a Gold Eagle into his sock drawer. A mom who walked the trail at White Rock Lake every morning might have kept a coin album from her own childhood. Those pieces get the full check for date, mint mark, grade and eye appeal.

Many families here are selling the house at the same time. Chris can come to the home in Lake Highlands for a larger collection, so the coins are handled before the realtor starts showings and before anything walks off during an open house. Smaller lots are often quicker to bring to an appointment on a weekday. If the coins are already boxed for the move, leave them boxed.

Whatever the size, you get a written offer and the freedom to walk away. Bring a driver's license or state ID, leave the coins uncleaned, and call 469-599-3283 to pick a time between 9am and 5pm, Monday through Friday.
