My wife Michele and I are the owners and operators of the Alaska Mint. I was 4 years old when my parents moved our family to Alaska from Colorado. They were young and ambitious, my Dad worked as a roughneck on oil platforms until they had saved up enough money to start a small jewelry shop. In 1967, Robuck & Sons, our families first jewelry business was born. Since then our family has had several stores around Alaska. In 1990 after testing with a sidewalk vendors cart for a few summers, I opened a location in downtown Anchorage where we could manufacture and sell souvenir coins, natural gold nuggets, and other gifts.
At the Alaska Mint, we offer high quality, Alaskan made items at reasonable prices. Stop by our store and watch our artisans at work creating unique items that will be treasured for years to come. The pure silver and gold coins that we design and mint are highly desirable collectors items that our customers have been enjoying for over 30 years. We buy and sell raw gold from the miners all over Alaska, and make some of it into stunning pieces of jewelry. We specialize in vintage estate jewelry from our customers here in Alaska, and we have a great selection of locally made handmade knives, Ulus and Alaska Native crafts.
So many collectibles on display and are for sale. The attendant was very nice and informative.

My husband and I are visiting Anchorage for our 5th wedding anniversary and saw this store advertised. We loved how friendly every associate was and took their time showing us the jewelry. We bought a beautiful quart necklace with gold in it. We definitely recommend stopping in.

Had the most wonderful experience here! Chris was so helpful, such an advocate for the weird questions I had and ensuring I had a great time, and had all the patience and kindness as I looked through pretty much everything and (finally) made up my mind. Such a friendly and welcoming team, left there feeling like a friend and with a gorgeous new piece I will treasure forever! Thanks again Chris, would highly recommend this as a must stop and see! From your kiwi friends, Jess and Matt

The best place in Alaska to purchase jewelry. While visiting Anchorage, I had the great opportunity to work with Linda to find the perfect piece of jewelry I was looking for. Everyone was very helpful and not “pushy”, which I found to be the fact at jewelry stores in other areas of Alaska. Thank you for making my experience a great one!
