About us

We are a family owned and operated business, with over 40+ years of experience in numismatics, and both retail and wholesale gold and silver buying.

Established in 1981 by George Champlin Sr. in Westerly, we have provided RI, our neighbors in CT and visitors to our beautiful coastal town with a friendly and knowledgeable environment for both coin collectors, bullion buyers and currency enthusiasts alike.

In 2010 George Champlin IV, took over from his father and continued his legacy.  When George and I married in 2014, I quickly became engrossed in the coin world and worked side by side with him until his tragic passing in February of 2020. I was fortunate that George Sr., stayed with the shop and provided his years of knowledge and expertise while dealing with the Pandemic and the loss of his son.

As a woman in the “coin world” it is both a unique and gratifying experience.  What we offer our customers is an honest, knowledgeable and straight forward approach.  We very much take pride in providing a warm and welcoming client experience, along with respecting our customers’ privacy and confidentiality in all transactions.

We have beautiful vintage jewelry, a vast supply of both U.S. and Foreign coins and currency, gold and silver bullion products and an array of antiques and militaria.

Come in for a visit in our quaint shop in downtown Westerly, I look forward to meeting you.
