The Coin Shop

Jason identified several of my proof sets as silver (I had mis-identified them as standard sets) and paid me accordingly. Thank you.

Excellent coin shop with great staff. Large inventory with very reasonable prices and great customer service. The owners are very knowledgeable and refreshingly honest. In over 50 years of coin collecting this by far been my favorite coin shop!

Walked into the store and was completely ignored after driving thirty miles to buy a gift for my brother. Also, this place only takes cash, which I didn't know so I didn't bring cash either. It's simple, look at a customer who walks into your establishment and say, "Hello, I'll be with you in a minute". Not that difficult...

I had a small collection that I had to sell, the Coin Shop paid a fair price. The store has a great selection of beautiful coins.

After obtaining some coins in a trust, we went into the store to sell a gold coin and were told that the coin was fake. Prior to going in there, we had already had the coins appraised elsewhere. In addition, we had all the paperwork at home but didn't bother bringing it since we had gone back and forth about selling it in the past and didn't think that we needed it. The only reason we had saved this one coin and sold the rest was because we were told that the year on the coin made it "rare". I'm sure walking in, we didn't look like much but the service we received was sub-par. They measured it, said it's fake, brought over another coin trying to prove the weight was off, and again told us yeah it's fake. Mind you, the coin was sealed in thick plastic. They never made mention that the machine could be misreading it due to that. The woman said it was fake and then the man looked at it and said the same and then said, it looks real but it's fake. They probably thought we were there to scam them but it was quite the opposite actually. I'm not sure if it was an honest mistake or if it was an attempt at tricking us into saying "oh the coin is trash so can you just toss it for us" (leaving a coin, being ignorant of the fact that we left something of actual value). We knew better. We then took it to another gold buyer who was actually very kind and informative who was telling us that there's been some issues known to happen with the machines with the thick plastic. They then asked our permission to cut it open to weigh it to make sure it was real. We said fine and NOT to our surprise, it was indeed real. Needless to say, we sold it and appreciated the customer service and expertise of the store we went to. Had to drive further out but it was well worth it. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone because our experience today has made us doubt their integrity. They didn't try to see if there was a mistake, didn't ask to cut open the plastic...nothing. It was just a five second weigh in and they said it's fake, which we knew with 0% doubt, was incorrect. If you are selling coins and are told it is fake, walk out and go somewhere else. If we wouldn't have, we would have left a couple thousand dollars on the table. Know what and who a you are dealing with. Not to mention, their attitudes were just not very welcoming. I overlooked that since we were there to do business, not to make friends. After they told us it was fake, I repeatedly said are you serious? For real? I honestly couldn't believe what I was hearing. Three different shops told us it was real (plus we had the paperwork from the original sale) and this place told us it was fake...you do the math. After our experience today, I wouldn't do any business there at all. We don't trust them. "Don't judge a book by its cover" - this is how we felt today.
