Welcome to Townsend Fine Jewelry & Coins. We are not just a coin shop; we are a sanctuary for history. Since opening our doors in 2013, we have built a reputation in Townsend, MA as the go-to destination for fine jewelry, heirloom restoration, and horology (the art of clocks and watches).
The Art of Restoration
What sets us apart is our hands-on expertise. We don't just buy and sell—we restore. Every day, we work with our hands, breathing new life into 200-year-old clocks and repairing delicate vintage watches that have stopped ticking. This deep mechanical understanding extends to our coin collection. We know what genuine wear looks like, and we know how to authenticate the metals and strikes of ancient civilizations because we physically handle antique objects every single day.
Our Curated Collection
Because we do the restoration work ourselves, we have a unique eye for value. Our coin inventory is not a bulk list of common bullion; it is a carefully curated museum of rarities. From the legendary Santa Domingo coin—the first coin minted in the Americas—to the historic Genghis Khan Siege coins of Kurzuwan (1221) , we bridge the gap between ancient worlds and modern collectors.
You will find:
-
Medieval European & Byzantine Rarities
-
Japanese, Chinese, and International key dates
-
Roman Empire artifacts
-
The most popular and sought-after US coins
The "See Before You Buy" Advantage
We know that buying online can be intimidating, especially with high-value rarities. While platforms like eBay offer anonymity, we offer transparency.
We are proud to have a physical retail location. You are welcome to schedule a visit to view any coin in person before committing to the purchase. If you live further away, we offer our "Pay at the Shop" option—reserving your coin for in-person inspection. This is our promise: you will never receive a coin that looks worse than the pictures.
Our Guarantee
Every coin in our inventory is hand-selected for its rarity, quality, and historical significance. We stand behind the authenticity of every piece we sell, supported by our decades of experience in the antique and jewelry trade.
