Welcome to Midwest Coins

Midwest Coins is a unique middle ground between retail and wholesale. Starting in 2019 and becoming one of the largest coin dealers on Instagram, Midwest Coins and its team knows how to disrupt the industry with quality service while providing the cheapest retail pricing supported by thousands of followers on social media. 

Midwest Coins was created in 2017. Originating on social media, specifically Instagram, our intent was to reach a new generation of collectors and precious metal stackers while also providing the cheapest retail pricing. This model attracted a large customer base and expanded the interest of the coin and precious metal industry. To date, we have the following and backing of thousands of repeat customers built by our business's solid trust and reputation.

Midwest Coins was created to educate individuals on social media about the benefits of investing in precious metals and the fun nature of collecting coins. Our team is dedicated to expanding the interest of the coin and precious metal industry while also providing prices unmatched by any other retailer.

Who would have imagined?! A fourteen-year-old who started with a curiosity for coins and currency would now be the owner of a coin business! Hi, my name is Sid Shock, founder and owner of Midwest Coins. I am currently a full-time college student at IUPUI studying political science and business. In the few hours left in the day, I dedicate my time to growing my Instagram presence for coins, manage my eBay store, as well as our new website! 

As previously mentioned, collecting coins and currency has always interested me. When I was fourteen, I decided to sell at my local flea market. I made $200-300 a month doing so, to a fourteen-year-old, that was like a million dollars! My next move was opening an eBay store, where I also grew and expanded my operations. During covid, we launched on social media platforms to engage with new followers and expand the interest of coins and currency. To date, and two million dollars in sales later, we have officially launched our website to expand our operation to meet and sell to individuals like you!
