Nanuet's Coin Shop Has Been at This for Over Fifty Years

There are not many retail shops anywhere that open in 1973 and are still going strong, but Clarkstown Coin & Jewelry in Nanuet is one of them. More than five decades in a single community is not an accident — it is a track record, and in a field where trust is essentially the whole product, that matters more than almost anything else you could say about a shop.

The business deals in coins, gold, silver, and jewelry, on both sides of the transaction. That means they are buying as well as selling, which makes them useful to a wider range of people than a typical jeweler or collectibles dealer. If you have inherited a coin collection and have no idea what it is worth, or if you are sitting on gold jewelry that you never wear, this is the kind of place that can give you a grounded, experienced answer rather than a generic online estimate.

Appraisals are part of the operation, and that is worth noting separately. A formal appraisal from a shop with this kind of local history carries weight — for insurance purposes, estate planning, or simply knowing what you have. Rockland County has a lot of long-established families, and with them come attics full of things that deserve a closer look.

For collectors, a shop like this is the kind of resource that newer hobbyists often wish they had found sooner. Coin collecting in particular rewards access to knowledgeable dealers who have seen enough material over the years to know what is genuinely scarce and what is merely old. Five decades of buying and selling in one county gives you a perspective that no price guide can replicate.

Nanuet sits centrally enough in Rockland that the shop draws from all corners of the county — Spring Valley, New City, Pearl River, and beyond.
