Rick Ellingsen — Owner, UP Coins and Bullion

Rick Ellingsen is a long-time collector and trader of silver bullion and coins. Raised in Negaunee and is now located in the Keweenaw, Rick has spent years building connections in the precious metals world and developing a reputation for honesty, fairness, and professionalism.

At UP Coins and Bullion, our mission is to meet your precious metal needs — whether you're selling an inheritance or collection, or looking to store your wealth securely in gold or silver. We offer a wide selection of bullion, along with expert appraisals and guidance tailored to your situation.

We believe you deserve the opportunity to buy and sell precious metals locally without paying inflated premiums to out-of-state buyers. That’s why we guarantee top dollar for collections you wish to sell and the lowest premiums possible on your purchases. Whether it's a single coin, a large accumulation, or a fully organized collection, we have the connections, means and experience to supply the Upper Peninsula with the best rates in the region.

We proudly offer in-person appointments, travel within the region, and secure business by mail or phone.
