funded on passion. built on trust.

At Trusted Treasures Coins, every appraisal, purchase, and conversation is backed by decades of passion and expertise. Founded by Sean Summerlin, our business proudly serves the Greater Houston Area—including Harris and Montgomery Counties—with a commitment to fair pricing, transparency, and a genuine love for coins and collectibles.

Sean’s journey began back in Jackson, Mississippi, where childhood trips to antique stores and pawn shops with his grandfather sparked a deep fascination for coins, paper currency, and precious metals. That passion became a serious pursuit in 1995, and by 2015, Sean opened his own business in Houston to bring professional, trustworthy service to fellow collectors and sellers.

“I’ve always loved the history behind these pieces,” Sean says. “Each coin, each note—there’s a story there. And helping people discover what they really have is the best part of the job.”

Over the years, Sean has built a strong reputation in both Harris and Montgomery Counties, known for his integrity, knowledge, and unmatched dedication to his clients. From helping families sort through inherited collections to evaluating high-value coins or gold jewelry, Sean takes the time to ensure every client is treated with honesty and respect.

Sean is known for going the extra mile—literally. He regularly travels to clients’ homes, banks, or private offices to appraise or purchase collections in person. Whether it’s a small collection or large estate, no job is too large or small.

Trusted Treasures Coins specializes in buying and selling coins, bullion, old paper money, scrap gold and silver, and vintage jewelry. Over the years, Sean has helped countless clients throughout Houston and beyond, offering fair, market-based prices with honesty and transparency at the core.

“If it’s coins or currency, I can usually identify it in seconds. This is what I do, and I feel fortunate enough to do what I love every day,” he added.

Thanks to his decades of experience, Sean is trusted by collectors, estate attorneys, and everyday Texans alike. Whether someone is cleaning out a drawer or liquidating a full collection, Sean has the tools and expertise to handle it all—often identifying rare and valuable pieces that others overlook.

“I’ve been called out to rural farms, downtown condos, and everywhere in between. I once bought a coin collection in The Woodlands and then appraised vintage silverware in Memorial City the same day,” he said. “That’s what I love about this business—it’s never the same day twice.”

In a market flooded with online sellers and questionable buyers, Sean sets himself apart by providing accurate, professional evaluations and educating his clients on what they really have. “People appreciate working with someone local who knows their stuff—and who’s not trying to rip them off. That’s what keeps them coming back.”
