Premier Local Coin Shop

Gene Snyder, The Goldbug Exchange owner

The Goldbug Exchange is a local coin shop and precious metal dealer for gold and silver buyers and sellers who are seeking a professional, knowledgeable resource they can trust to treat them fairly and with respect. The shop opened its doors in May 2012 in downtown Beaver, Pennsylvania. Beaver County native Gene Snyder is an original founding partner and now sole owner.

Relationships are key to Gene, a life long Beaver County resident. He enjoys talking with clients and sharing his wealth of information with them. The shop’s neighborly atmosphere is friendly and relaxed.

Gene’s goal is to promote an atmosphere where everyone is comfortable when they come to his shop to buy, sell or trade gold and silver, and to enhance and develop the reputation of the Goldbug Exchange as Beaver County’s premier coin shop.

Gene has been active in a number of business and service organizations.  He is a past member of  the Beaver area Chamber of Commerce and current member of the Rochester-Beaver Lions Club.  He is a former director of both Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Beaver County and Leaders Serving Beaver County (LSBC).  Gene has worked and consulted with a number of small business ventures in the local area.  He is an alumni of Robert Morris College (1981) and graduate of Hopewell High School (1976). Gene now makes his home in Economy Borough with wife Donna.

The Precious Metal Verifier Pro

No more guesswork about the authenticity of coins and gold and silver bars.  The Precious Metal Verifier Pro is the latest and greatest tool I use in my shop for verifying that the items you buy and sell are “the real thing.” Watch and see how it works.

New to buying or selling coins or precious metals?

We’ll take the mystery out of buying and selling coins or precious metals. We take the time to explain the valuation process so you can make an informed decision about your transaction. Our scales are certified, and you can view the readings when your items are weighed. Watch how easy it is!

Fair, Transparent Pricing

Every day, we post pricing for everyone to see, based on the current trading prices for gold and silver. It’s our way of letting you know that you’re getting a fair price when you sell gold and silver. Click here to read the state law about price posting.
