Stevenson Rare Coins: Coin Collecting

Les Stevenson is extremely knowledgeable, fair and knows the market. I will not buy precious metals anywhere else because I know I can trust him and I do not hesitate to recommend him to friends.

Les and Mike were very helpful when I needed to sell my grandfathers coin collection . They paid me on the spot and paid me more than anywhere else had offered . Highly recommend!

Easy to find location . Professional service and prompt payment . I would recommend Mr Stevenson to anyone needing to buy or sell coins or jewelry !

I came Friday to sell some of my silver and spend the money towards gold . Les took great care in recommending the best gold coins I could get and gave me a great price for my silver ! He has an impressive inventory and is a wealth of knowledge!

If I could I would leave a negative 5 review. I went I. To sell 2 of my mothers gold bangles bracelets she had for years and wore all the time that my father bought for her and she left to me and I needed christmas shopping money and they told me they were not gold. I couldnt believe it they had no tarnish or visible wear after being worn for many years. I left and went to a jewlery store that buys gold and asked the buyer there and he told me they were definitely gold and that the clasp inside is probably what attracted the magnet because they use a very strong magnet. And they gave me 800.00 for them I was almost crying when I left the first store I had many things for them.to.look at but basically said I didn't have anything over value. They weren't even very nice about it. I had coins my father had collected for years and they said basically none of them were worth anything. Well I surely do t trust their word after the bracelet incident and I definitely would recommend not to go there ever they dont even know how to tell if something is gold or not they didn't even test it except with a magnet and I also had to pay for parking and drove an hour and a half to get there. I think probably any other place but this place would be a better place to go. I am taking my coins to Florida and will update again if I get good money for them also. Please go anywhere but this place they do t know what they are doing.

I have delt with precious metal dealers for 25 years. I have easy access to great people in the Chattanooga area. Great people very trustworthy. I’ve moved a few times and now I will only go see Les. I have to travel three hours now, but it’s very worth it. It almost brings me tears writing this review. He is so honest and looking out for my best interest and he educates me. A review won’t allow enough characters for me to explain but he did a really good thing for me. I don’t think there’s a better place that you could go to and he practically paid for my travel to get my business when I could have done this at home. If you want to sell a Sacajawea or a Bicentennial quarter Or any gold colored coin that’s worth exactly 1 dollar then don’t go there. Go buy soda pop and add a dime. If you ever see any review less than five stars pay no attention because they are trying to sell pocket change for more than a dollar. He will give you advice and I’ve learned a lot. Hands down worth the travel if you live within a days drive and he is located in the best city. Thank you so much and you’ve picked very good staff members. See you next time no matter where I live!

This is hands down the best coin shop anywhere! Les is extremely knowledgeable and very fair to deal with. His prices are unbeatable and he knows his stuff, so you can rest assured that what he sells is legit. This is the only place to go, even if you have to drive a bit to get there. Any 1 star reviews are obviously people who don't know what they are talking about. I'm very grateful that this shop exists!

I drive 60 miles to deal with Les . He is the most knowledgeable person on coins in NC , SC or Tennessee that I am aware of and I have been dealing in coins for 20 years . He pays the most for coins and jewelry and he sells at better prices than anyone around . He found me a coin I had been looking for years and sold it to me at far les (no pun intended) than I thought it would cost me - I couldn’t be happier !

I have dealt with Stevenson Rare Coins & Jewelry for over eight years. After having done business with coin dealers for over 45 years, I find Les Stevenson to be among the absolute best. In addition to having an eclectic knowledge of US and Foreign coins, paper currency and a wide variety of antiques, Les Stevenson is straight forward and impeccably honest. His willingness to share his knowledge about various financial, coin/currency and antique markets instills confidence and trust. His associate, Mike, is also extraordinarily knowledgeable of coins/currency and financial markets. Additionally, It's just plane fun to go into his shop. Thanks Les and Mike !
