Stop in occasionally to shop. Staff is always friendly, welcoming, and provided they aren't busy with other customers are very willing to chat about the coins and their history - a proper coin shop. :)

I bought gold for the first time here today. Russ was very informative and transparent about the fees/spreads.

I appreciate the business I’ve done with Mike. Mike had told me that if I had anything else to sell in the future, send it through. I didn’t think to let him know when I shipped something a couple months later. I followed up about the package through email, but didn’t receive a response. Turns out they had responded twice and it was going to spam. HJB is good, reliable business.

Mike completely ruins the coin collecting experience at this shop! I've been going there for a few months and have spent a lot of money. He refused to let me do something as basic as look through a stack of toned ASEs to pick the ones I wanted. He doesn't seem to understand that picking the coins is 90% of the fun. Everyone else is awesome to work with. If you go there, avoid Mike at all costs, he takes all the joy out of coin collecting. Who does that?! He needs to get out of the business.. Clearly he doesn't care. They do have an awesome selection , they always had what i was looking for. The prices are good, not too high but not a steal. It's a good LCS, it's a real shame that I'll never go there again.

I stopped in earlier this week and was able to trade/buy some silver. Zach was great, friendly, open and answered all of my questions. I was so impressed by how I was treated I went in and popped in and bought another silver coin later that day. I hope to stop back in and see what else I can be helped with. Thank you and your team for the professionalism.

So they've got no problem whatsoever with selling silver when it's $110+ spot but when it's DOWN %33+ in a single day, better lock the customers out and close up shop because of "volatility". God forbid you pass some of the savings on to us.

On 2/11/26 they bought the Gld and Slv eagles that I purchased from them in 09. I called around and they gave me the best price. I was trying to hedge them myself with call cr spreads since late last year. It was a losing proposition. I’m a very grateful customer that wouldn’t hesitate to do business with them again. Honest and fair. A very grateful customer. When things settle down, I'm buying. Thank you
