World gold, tech-era bullion and old silver in Richardson

The road into town tells Richardson's story better than any sign. It began as the Red Brick Road, finished in 1924 to tie the town to Dallas, and a year later Richardson incorporated. Before that the town was a depot on the Houston and Texas Central, laid out in the 1870s, with an interurban line added in 1908.

That same old road now runs past the DFW Chinatown shopping centers, and the city is home to large Chinese and Vietnamese communities. Those families bring coins we rarely see in older Dallas estates: Chinese Gold and Silver Pandas, whose design changes almost every year, and Lunar series gold from the Perth Mint, often given as a new year gift. Every one goes on the XRF screen, so the purity is shown rather than assumed, and we price it from today's spot.

Richardson's long run as a tech city adds its own layer. Texas Instruments built its campus just south of town in the 1950s, and the Telecom Corridor along US 75 filled in over the following decades. Retirees from those years sometimes moved stock gains into metal, and we see one-ounce gold bars, tubes of Maple Leafs and silver rounds still in the shipping boxes they arrived in.

UT Dallas, founded in the 1960s within the city, brings another group: faculty and graduate families from around the world who arrive with a jar of coins from home. Much of that is modern circulating money with little resale value, and we will say so. Older world silver, such as British-era Indian rupees or older Mexican pesos, can hold real silver, and the screen tells us which.

The houses built in Richardson's postwar boom still give up older coins too: Franklin halves, Washington quarters dated before 1965 and a Morgan or Peace dollar kept for luck. Those go through the same date and mint mark check, because a common year and a scarce one can look nearly identical.

Richardson spans both Dallas and Collin counties, so check which side of the line a parent's house sits on before filing probate. A coin-by-coin appraisal from us suits either court. When you call (469) 754-8608, we set a weekday time and give directions, and Texas law requires us to record a state ID or driver's license from you at the visit.
