The story behind Franklin Coin & Jewelry Exchange, in Tom's own words.

Tom Stroud, owner of Franklin Coin & Jewelry Exchange, Meadville MS

I started Franklin Coin & Jewelry shortly after my wife and I moved home to Meadville after being gone for many years. All those years we held on to old coins and jewelry we accumulated and inherited simply because we did not know what else to do.

When my wife saw an ad for a place she could take old silver and gold jewelry where a team of people would appraise it, she decided to take a couple of pieces of jewelry to them. Wow! She came home with a large check and a big smile. She was amazed at how much she had received.

I was also amazed.

It got me to thinking, with all the expenses for a team of people to travel around the country visiting different cities and paying that kind of money, what was the true worth?

After studying the value of gold and silver I started a local company, Franklin Coin & Jewelry Exchange, right here in Meadville, MS. I learned that by being local and keeping my expenses to a minimum I can offer families in the area a fair and honest price for their old coins and jewelry.

Allow Franklin Coin & Jewelry Exchange the opportunity to look at your old coins and jewelry you want to sell and make you a fair and honest offer.

Please call or text (601) 550-6857 for an appointment.
