The Oldest Coin Shop in Charlotte
- General Info
- Hyatt Coin Shop was started in 1959 by William (Bill) E. Hyatt, retired Staff Sergeant of the U.S. Army. Coin collecting had been a passion of his, and his two sons Larry and Terry Hyatt would help him search bags and rolls as well as travel to the nation's capitol to pick up bags of Morgan Silver Dollars in the 1960's. The Hyatt Coin Shop was successful due to Bill's hard work and passion for the hobby, and soon began to expand. Part of the expansion of the store was due to the addition of other product lines - namely Firearms. In the purchase of a large coin collection that Bill Hyatt made, there were included some old Winchester Shotguns. After researching the guns and becoming interested in the history of Firearms, Bill obtained the necessary licenses to engage in the trade of firearms, and soon the business began to boom. Larry Hyatt, Bill's oldest son, came into the Coin & Gun business and took the business to much higher levels. Larry now runs the store, and Bill still frequently works in the coin department. Under Larry's management the store has expanded to over 200,000 square feet, and has become one of the largest gun stores on the east coast. The coin shop is still going strong, and Larry has enriched its inventory over the years, giving his customers a wide variety of coins to view and add to their collections. Terry Hyatt, the younger of Bill's two sons, worked in the store for quite a few years, specializing in military collectibles, before moving about an hour outside of Charlotte to run his father's Cattle Farm. Many fine military collectibles are still bought and sold at Hyatt Coin & Gun Shop. Larry's youngest son, Mitch Hyatt, has recently come into the business, and has renovated the coin department, expanding it to reflect the renewed interest in the hobby spurred by the Statehood Quarters and rising metals prices. Adding active Want Lists and some Consignments to the Coin Shop's list of activities, Mitch has created a more fluid coin shop where inventory rotates often and the coins desired by customers are quickly found. Mitch is a graduate of the American Numismatic Association's Grading and Counterfeit Detection programs, and can help you find the coins that meet the exact standards that you desire. ANA Life Member# L-3124159 The advent of the internet-age promises to bring more changes, and we look forward to serving you better with each visit to our store or website. One of the largest Coin Shops in the Carolinas, Hyatt's is able to purchase collections of all sizes, and the trio of Bill, Larry, and Mitch Hyatt have the expertise to accurately appraise all collections and pay top dollar to those interested in selling.

Received the TC Icon .243 today, and it looks fantastic, I can't wait to get it set up and zeroed. Thanks, dealing with you guys was a great buying experience, I really appreciate you answering my emails promptly and just overall great communication.

I just wanted to say how much a pleasure it is to deal with you all, especially Larry. I picked up my order and also had a rear sight installed on my Glock 26 at the same time with very little wait and a very pleasurable surrounding with a lot of nice folks. Thanks again Hyatt.

Hyatt's has been in Charlotte for many years. We came here today to purchase a FN5.7mm pistol, because my husband is a true gun lover. The guys in there are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They did not have the pistol that we were looking for, but they were great none the less.

I'm not a gun expert but know enough to navigate my way through a basic conversation. So I went into Hyatt expecting a negative experience based on the reviews where people thought they were talked down to. That didn't happen. The two times I have been there to buy pistols, they were very friendly and not dismissive at all. It helped that I had already made my purchases online and all I had to do was surrender my purchase permits, sign the paperwork and go, but still, they made it fast and efficient and also suggested some inexpensive and useful accessories I hadn't thought of. All around me I heard people being given advice, suggestions, and other helpful conversations. I never heard anyone being rude. There were plenty of staff on hand to handle what was a surprising crowd on a weekday afternoon. It was a good experience and I will be back.

Everyone in Hyatts Gun shop was very friendly and went out of there way to make sure my experience was great. It's by far the best gun shop that I've been in.

I went in to trade a gun, received a decent price and was able to purchase what I wanted. They have the largest supply of guns and the prices are competitive. Service is top notch and the staff is friendly. I highly recommend!

I recently had a very pleasant buying experience with Hyatt when I purchased my Ruger SR40c. I was so impressed with the service, your professionalism, strict adherence to all laws and the speed in shipment to my local FFL dealer. I was astonished when I read about what Authorize.net did to you. I along with thousands of others have strongly condemned their actions on their FB page and website. We have vowed to boycott them and spread the word to everyone we can. I would love to know who the new gun friendly processing company is so I can support them. Anyway... just wanted you to know that word is out and we stand with you and other gun retailers.
