Costa's Coins & Currency: Coin Appraisal

The guys were all in explaining what to look for in my collection of currency without hesitation!

Deal with confidence. They know their business. Fair prices if you are buying or selling.

They were friendly, informative, not pushy and prices were competitive.

I took my son today ( just turned 13) and the pricing was great! More than that though, every individual that worked there including the owner was so kind to him! This was a big investment for my son and they treated him so well throughout the process. I was soooo touched! So yeah, definitely a place to go and you won’t be disappointed.

Top notch professional experience. I would highly recommend doing business with Costa's.

Sold some coins. Very normal and quick process , minimum paperwork, in and out in 5 American minutes; and prices they gave are quite normal as well. I have been into metals long before most of you who are buying gold bars in Costco these days. I bought and sold, from and to brick and mortar stores. Costa's is fine, perfectly fine. Hopefully will do more business in the future. And if you think dealing with online folks like Apmex or JM or Provident better in terms of prices, good luck. Buying won't be cheaper unless you buy large quantities. Then trying to sell to them, whole different matter and pain in terms of logistics and prices too. Price per ounce, sure 😃. Any dealer has to have a larger spread then simple bid and ask for spot price.

I have been coming here on and off for 10+ years. I have always felt the dealings with this team of brothers to be extremely fair. Whenever I want to grab gold or silver or platinum, they are one of my first calls. Support you local coin shop. Don’t buy online. Isn’t it more fun to buy gold the old fashioned way anyway? I mean, always shop around, but these guys should be in your short list. The only coin shop between Gurnee and Morton Grove so it’s a good idea to get to know these guys with you are in the area and into coins or bullion.

It is a very cool place to visit if you're into collecting coins. And very knowledgeable staff.👍I took a 1999 Connecticut quarter that looked like it was all silver. But it was a quarter cover in platinum. From one of those you buy on tv. Unfortunately, it wasn't worth anything. Except 25 cents.
