Lot of coins and paper money. You won't get top dollar but then again, they have to sit on items a long time before sold many times. Always remember...walk out if you think you're not getting a good price and go elsewhere. AND... don't believe everything you read on Google or elsewhere when checking prices!

​"Extremely disappointed with the predatory pricing here. I brought in Morgan Dollars for valuation. With silver spot at $84/oz (melt value of ~$65 per coin), I was offered a disrespectful $43 per coin. That is $20+ BELOW the raw scrap metal value. On top of that, they attempted to devalue Choice Uncirculated strikes by claiming they were 'polished' without evidence. If you know the numismatic market or even basic silver spot prices, go elsewhere. Real Recognize Real."

I am a younger person to be buying bullion, young 20s. But I definitely know my stuff, but I think this coin shop was trying to rip me off considering I’m “younger” compared to other stackers, and therefore may not know as much. I saw a gram gold bar, asked how much it was, and the person said “oh, it’s one gram, so X times Y…it comes out to Z price.” So I said alright, how much for the 10 gram gold bar? The guy said “well, since it’s 10 grams, take what I quoted you for the one gram bar times 10.” Haha, no…that’s not how buying bullion works. The premium is supposed to be lower on higher weights! I just stared at him for a bit, said no thanks, then left. So if you aren’t experienced buying bullion, definitely be careful. They will try to pull one over on you.

Have been a customer for 30 years or more. A few days ago, I went in and picked out some coins I wanted to buy. They were numismatic items not bullion. Like always, I politely asked for a discount. The blond hared lady who helped me got a funny look on her face and said she could check the greysheet, She marked two coins down $2.00 each then she started marking coins up. I was kind of surprised, but I assumed she would give me a small discount when she was finished as they always have. She then walked over to the cash register. I paid for the coins. The receipt did not list the coins individually. When I got home, I tallied up the prices listed on each coin. To my shock not only did she not give me any discount, but she had charged me $7.00 more on a $271.00 purchase. I do not believe this was a mistake. I asked for a discount and instead I got a slap in the face. At this time, I probably will not ever go back to this shop.
