I have been buying gold and silver now for one year and I've been to every single dealer in Los Angeles. And it's fair to say I will never go anywhere else but Alhambra coin center... They give the most upmost respectable spot spread then any other and once you establish yourself as a friend, they will definitely take care of you. I also called in on a rare gold coin, and they gave me that price when I called in looking for it, even though the price has gone up. If you don't mind the occasional corny jokes, it's worth knowing you're going to get a great value and whatever you buy. read more

Hi! I just visited the coin center today for the very first time. There was this lady, who immediately off the bat after barely looking at what coin booklets I had made a disappointed sound. Soon after just glancing at a few, she walked away. After, a nice gentleman came up and was actually looking through them. I appreciate how he took the time to chat a little and look through the booklets. Later when we were packing up our booklets to leave, this gentleman who I assume was security, held open the door looking at us expectantly to leave as soon as possible. My father, asked the gentleman about an item in the glass case and he was ignored. Then after my father asked about it again, he was met with a poor attitude. Kevin is the only individual who was polite and respectful. read more

My experience was not good. I responded to a tv commercial saying they are looking to buy. Kinda looking to take the most and give the least. A woman offered me $13.50 For Kennedy halves that i owned since new. Beautifully toned and she could not have cared less. The Melt is over $20 per coin and she offered me $13.50. It's a free country I suppose. If your selling, Shark infested waters for sure. If your buying, things are quite a bit more than Many Silver and gold stores thoughtout the SoCal area. I bought a 5gram gold and a bezel for $900 somewhere else. Ask them their price. !0oz silver bars all over town $600. Ask their price. read more

Well I have came here in the past and service was good . Tried to come back today and I was waiting to be let in and no one would acknowledge I was there. I will say they were a little busy. But I made eye contact with two of the workers and the basically ignored me. Won't be bringing my business here again. read more

Tyler and Kevin were both super nice friendly super friendly and super fair with everything

Friendly staff and great selection with fair prices. I will stop again if I'm in the area.

Popped in for the first time today. Met the team, but specifically worked with Kevin who was great. Helped me with some classic silver maples. Great condition and real nice prices too. Kevin also politely entertained a couple of my requests for more unusual items. ;) I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the neighborhood. read more

I brought in some coins that I've had forever that I wanted to get more info on aside from what I had found online. Kevin answered all of my questions, and I had a lot, lol. Overall satisfied with my experience. Now I'm on the hunt for more coins to bring in the next time I'm in LA, haha! Also, their watch collection is great! read more

Alhambra came highly recommended to me. I sourced out 2-3 other jewelers and precious metal experts, and they were very sketchy. Alhambra was very transparent and easy to work with. I trusted them with my clients estate pieces and we were all very happy. read more

See all

The staff are very friendly and helpful and honest. All your questions or concerns are answered. They don't pressure you into buying anything and you feel very comfortable in the store. read more

Owner Malcolm took care of me as Kevin was off but had a good experience with the owner as well . Paid fair value for my AG sovereign coins and rounds. The whole process was easy and fast. When I buy its my go to for Morgan's and constitutional Ag. read more

Don't know why they call it a coin center? ? I came in with a collection of coins, never did they give me any information on the coins!!instead this Asian woman just stared going through all my coins, while she was eating her lunch by the way! and started writing me a receipt for them, did not even tell me anything' about them. They just want take them of your hands. Even if they might be worth something. That doesn't matter! They just buy coins for their metal value ONLY! never even acknowledge me as a person who might have some sentimental connection to those coins. I just felt like a dumb as**. Awful experience! read more

I really enjoy going here because the staff are very nice and helpful. Keep in mind, I live in Fontana. I would rather go here than go somewhere nearby from where I live. I see a lot of silver coins that I've never seen before and it's amazing to look at. There's a lot that catches my eyes that I end up purchasing more than what I planned on getting. Like what others said, they don't pressure you into buying anything. Which is a good thing. I recommend everyone to check this place out read more

Such a trustworthy place. Malcom the owner was so kind, patient and accurate! Did it all very quickly. I'm grateful I went to this place again 41 years later. Highly recommend this place. There's a reason why they've been in business for 50 years! read more

Friendly staff. Shelves are filled with various types of item. First time in the shop and I never dealt with precious metal before. The staff provided me with live prices and helped me understand the process. Mal was awesome to talk to and shared valuable knowledge with me. read more

The lack of humanity makes you feel pressured and uneasy when you visit, as the people running this place will perceive you as someone with ill intentions. I always smiled at the employees whenever I reached the security door and waited to be buzzed in, but all I could see were their contemptuous looks. They love to speak to you with condescending tones, and they don't like dealing with colored customers unless there are other white customers around, so they have to act nice to keep up with their "professionalism." Furthermore, don't fall for their sweet talk. Their act of hospitality is all a facade. After you finish the transactions with them, they will tell you how much they appreciate your business and want you to come back. However, on the contrary, they are careless and will act like they are unfamiliar with you whatsoever whenever you revisit their shop. Beggars can't be choosers. This shop is not a great place to conduct business when you desperately need cash for a rainy day or as a novice trader. If you ever show any signs of weakness, they will lowball or straight lie to you to take advantage of you. They are aggressive and ruthless on pricing, and they would only pay you the cost of the metal content of the coins, even if they were graded. You can expect a shift in their attitude, becoming impatient and unfriendly, if you plan to engage in haggling. In summary, I don't recommend this shop unless you really need cash and are willing to accept the deficit. read more

I came here today to sell a gold coin. While that transaction went well, I figured I had them appraise my 24k gold bracelet to see how much I could sell it for if I were to sell it. When I was given the price, I was shocked how low they offered. That's when I was told it was 18k, not 24k. They used their $30k gold test X-Ray gun thing, and again it shows 17.8 or something. I found that really odd. I left and went to two other jewelry shops and they both test and confirmed its pure 24k gold. One shop using same X-ray gun and another using a different X-ray tester machine. I only have two stars because the staffs there were nice and good deal with the coin. However, BEWARE if you're trying to sell other gold pieces. read more

Just an all around great experience with the staff every single visit I make. Always fair. I highly recommend this very reputable establishment read more

Kevin is very nice & straight forward about the coins I brought in . I appreciated the fact he was polite and welcoming . The store is very clean and organized beautifully. I can recommend this establishment , as it is merchandised nicely . Well lit and there is parking in the rear of the building. I saw an ad in a flyer and I am glad I stopped by. I shall return . read more

Had some random coins from my grandpa and wanted to know what their value is. I know nothing about coin collecting or valuation. Kevin was very straightforward and honest. I thought they were worth nothing but there was a fair amount of silver coins in there. I'm satisfied with what I got from them and the quick education I got from Kevin as far as which ones were just worth face value and which ones were worth purchasing from his perspective. All in all a great experience. Bonus points for the cute doggie, Arthur. Didn't catch the name of the woman who answered the phone but she was very nice too. read more

Kevin and the staff were great. I recently lost both of my parents and while cleaning out their belongings, I came across some old coins and jewelry. I brought them to Alhambra Coin Center and felt like they gave me a very fair price to buy these items that I didn't want to keep. read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. My mom recently came in to see if her coins had any value after doing research on misprints. Instead of politely letting my mom know that they don't take coins like this, educating her on their policies and/or referring her to another place that could help her, they refused to look at what she brought, told her rudely that it was just money and she can take her coins to the bank. There's a way to treat people and politely decline service. I would not recommend their business if they don't have the patience to deal with any potential customers. I wonder if I had come in with her with my perfect English if the service would've been better read more

God is my witness that what I'm about to say is 100% true. If I'm lying then I'm willing to suffer all consequences that'll come to me. In the year 2001, I was 19 years old. My grandparents left me some jewelry when they passed. I needed some money for emergency purposes and had to find somewhere to sell my gold. Being a 19 year old, I had no knowledge of how much gold is really worth but I needed money. So I came to Alhambra coin center and put my trust in them to give me fair deal. I had a 14k yellow gold chain about 140 grams and a 24k pure gold women's bracelet that's about 60 grams. A Caucasian middle age lady helped me out. She acted very friendly in a way that she was all trying to help me out. Telling me she will put her neck out on the line to help me out and give me as much as she can. I can remember it clearly as she turned around with my items and asked the person behind her that she's gonna give me that price. A kid that's 19 year old, I believed her and really thought she was nice......... I don't know how much gold was in the year 2001 but for the 14k gold chain, she gave me $800. For the 24k pure gold bracelet, she gave me $250. At that time I didn't even know what was going on but I agreed so as on paper, it was a fair deal. That's 100% my fault. I understand businesses's gotta make money but that's totally taking advantage of customers. It's been such a long time and it took me now to write a negative review for the first time in my life. I just hope for all you people out there that don't have any knowledge of gold prices to just do some research first. I read some negative reviews on this page and saw the same for customers that got low balled for jewelry. Good for you for not getting scammed. Let KARMA deal with this place........ read more

Been here several times to sell a few items. Was usually assisted by Kevin, friendly and cool guy. Bought all my coins at fair prices (during the current rates), people that argue they buy at low prices in comparison to online platforms don't take in consideration that; 1. They're a business, they need profitable margins as well. 2. You're taking a risk getting scammed selling on several online platforms. 3. You get money on the spot selling to the store Everyone I've spoken to have been very helpful and I'll definitely continue taking my business here. Also side note; they have dogs behind the counter. Personally, that's a positive lol read more

I recently bought a designer bag that was in excellent condition from Rita Li. Rita gave me exceptional service as she showed me so many options to choose from that fit my budget and designer brands I had in mind. She was extremely courteous, patient, informative and pleasant to work with. I would definitely recommend Rita to my friends as they search for their perfect designer gift! read more

Very rude old lady. I took some coins in to check their worth and the old lady behind the counter looks at one and replies in a condescending tone, "this looks fake.." she then checked it and responded, "it's real so you have one ounce of silver". The way she spoke to me felt very dismissive and condescending. I wanted to purchase some coins as well but decided to find a more welcoming business. I won't be coming back here. read more

My husband told me about this place that they had really nice handbags. I originally went in there just to window shop and Rita the salesperson was so nice to show me bags and had me try them on. I fell in love with a purse she showed me- brand new and price was marked down! I couldn't leave the store without this bag. They have many luxurious purses of all kind- Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, etc. If you're looking for a name brand bag of these listed above but not willing to pay the original price on Rodeo Drive then you definitely need to give this store a try. They buy bags, repair them and then resell them. Not only do they sell used bags but also brand new!!! I will definitely recommend this place to family and friends. I will return for sure! Thank you Rita for giving me a good deal on my brand new yellow Chanel Love it read more

They have a nice selection of coins. The only problem is, they don't know where they keep them, and don't seem interested in selling them. I've never had an experience where I actually felt like a bother before, when buying coins. The place is run by an older man who seems bothered to have to leave his office. There's a slender blond woman who only seems to respond to anything when someone brings in gold coins. The young Asian girl who tried to help me normally deals with jewelry, and didn't know where to locate the kind of coins I was looking for. The older man minimally directed her to where they are, and she still had to search for a while. I almost gave up and left. She was the Only helpful person there who seemed to care I was a customer, and she didn't know where the coins were located. Oh, and unless you are spending a lot of money, they take cash only. So bring cash, or be disappointed. I had to leave and pay a $4.00 atm fee at Bank of America, (and Another ATM fee charged to me by my bank), to get $60 out of the bank. So approximately 10% of the money I spent was just on ATM fees! I also had to park two blocks away, as their very small parking lot is always full. Be prepared for the same. The whole experience was more trouble than it was worth. If I had more time, I would have just driven over to Pasadena or another coin shop. They don't seem to care if they have customers or not. read more

Outstanding service. Way better than some other coin shops in the Southern California area *cough cough*. I'll be back here should I ever be interested again. read more
