What a great experience! And what a gift to have huge peace of mind while I was there and after I left, knowing that they are indeed as honest and fair as I had heard they were from a friend of mine. I have been an amateur coin collector for a couple of years and have recently dabbled in silver and gold. They are very knowledgable and friendly here. Best price on spot I've found and the older guy that does the collectors coins is cool and fair in pricing, all around great place. It seems to be family owned.

Jim the owner is a more than fair, compassionate christian business man. His integrity is without question, and he is the only pawn broker I trust.

I come her every other week to purchase silver, and a few coins. These guys always treat me and my son like friends. A true family owned vibe. Will continue to do business here for a long time.

First time buying silver coins and bars, staff was super knowledgeable and more than willing to answer all of my questions. Just a heads up, they don't display all of they're silver. The bargain stuff is in the back, just ask!

Needed some quick cash. Got a loan against some coins I had. At a surprisingly low interest rate. Beats any cash advance place. They are professionals not judgemental and I highly recommend them.

Extremely knowledgeable about bullion. Good quality and honest service. "Mac" has a thorough knowledge of domestic and foreign coins. Wide variety. I like the "buckets" where bargain silver can be purchased with low premium markups.

I have been in the store four times to buy gold and silver bullion. Two of the times I felt like a ghost walking around in the store. As a result, I left in frustration without buying any bullion. The other two experiences were fine and the Lady behind the cage is very friendly and helpful.
