The two men working there when I stopped in were very pleasant and easy to work with. They were also incredibly honest, coming out to my car after our deal because they overlooked the value of one item and they wanted to pay me the difference. I highly recommend them.
He kind of shooed me away. Didn't really want to look. Am I going's too much? Definitely doesn't know much about error coins but I'd say if you have your average silver coin or gold coin he'd be good
I went here and sold some coins that I had had since childhood. Were super kind and very helpful! I feel like they gave me a fair deal for what I was selling.
Sadly I have heard from the grapevine and the man Dean himself this Friday 1/30/2026 they will be closing indefinitely.. :(
A secure & small but busy place. Added a few items to our collection. He had some unique items that I haven't seen anywhere else. Will definitely be back!
