A general antique-store listing tells you nothing about whether the shop actually deals in jewelry and coins versus furniture and glassware — that specialty usually only shows up buried in reviews or not at all. Every shop here has jewelry or coin dealing confirmed from its own site or posted signage, so you're not guessing from a generic category tag.

Good to know
Do antique shops buy old coins?
Many antique and jewelry shops that deal in coins will buy or trade them, though pricing depends on the coin's rarity, condition, and metal content rather than age alone. Specialized coin dealers or coin shows typically offer more accurate appraisals than a general antique store.
How can I tell if antique jewelry is real gold or silver?
Look for a hallmark or purity stamp such as 14K, 18K, 925, or a maker's mark, though stamps can wear off or be missing on very old pieces. A jeweler can confirm metal content with an acid test or electronic tester, which is worth doing before paying a premium price.
