The Window Sill

We're Monroe's favorite variety store, with everything you don't need... but can't live without! We pride ourselves on friendly service and a positive and comfortable shopping experience.

We are competitive buyers of all coins, bullion, gold and silver jewelry and flatware. Used and broken jewelry especially wanted. For collectors, we deal primarily in Ancient, Medieval, World and United States coins, but also carry a selection of books, currency, primitive monies, antiquities and classic stamps. We are always in need of new inventory and constantly looking to buy nice collections (even not so nice collections). Whether your collection is only worth a few dollars or hundreds of thousands of dollars, we'd like to hear about it.

Appraisals are typically billed at an hourly rate and can be done at our office or on site at your home or bank. Appraisal time varies depending on the size and nature of the collection. If you are in need of our appraisal services, please call us at (608) 836-1777 or contact us here to set up an appointment. Certification: We are ready to assist you with the certification of any of the coins in your collection. We are a PCGS Authorized Dealer as well as an NGC Authorized Dealer. Third party grading and certification of your coins can be a very useful tool or a complete waste of money, depending on the coins involved. We will gladly examine any coins you are considering sending in for certification and help you to weed out any that are not valuable enough to certify or have a high chance of coming back without certification due to problems like cleaning, damage or authenticity issues. Bullion Liquidation: We are very competitive buyers of silver, gold and platinum bullion in all forms (coins, rounds and bars). We believe that the larger the quantity, the better, but whether you've got 1/20th oz. pieces or 1000 oz. bars, we'l
