The Story of Laurel City Coins

Thanks for visiting my site. My name is Richard (Dick). This all started way back a long time ago when I found a 1938-D half dollar and was saving it towards a trip to California. Then I discovered that it was worth $20.00! A collector was born!

Shortly after that, I opened Laurel City Coins on November 11, 1964. I was in the U.S. Navy (seabees) from 1968 to 1969 and Joe Cornelio kept the store open during my time in the seabees.

Upon my return to civilian life, antiques were addded to our store and, as they usually say, that's how it all began. Over the years, our stock and reputation have grown and today I have a great selection of U.S. coins for all levels of collectors, from beginner to advanced. If there is something you are looking for, just stop by or give me a call at 860-379-0325, I'm sure we can help.

We also buy and sell gold and silver coins, bullion, jewelry, and sterling silver flatware.
