I love Bishop Coins. It's a family-owned shop, and the owner's son has recently taken over. I'm glad to see he's keeping the family tradition and spirit alive. We all know precious metals have skyrocketed in recent years, but you'll always find fair prices here. There's no new math or gimmicks--just honest, down-to-earth people. It's a father, son, and daughter working hard to keep this family business alive in Bishop. If they ever disappeared, I can imagine another marijuana dispensary or some chain business taking their place. I'm thankful they're still here serving the community. We come to Bishop every year to fish and enjoy the local shops, and Bishop Coins is always my number one stop in town. Highly recommended. read more

I spent Independence Day in Bishop, and I stopped in do some shopping and browsing at this fantastic store, Bishop Coins. The owner, Bill, is a great guy, a class act, patient and knowledgeable. His store offers a wonderful mix of coins, jewelry, antiques, and curiosities. My hubby wound up purchasing a coin for himself and a poker chip for his dad's collection. He bought me two beautiful pairs of earrings -- one pair is notably of an older era, detailed and gorgeous. I bought myself a shark tooth fossil (I have a fascination with sharks) and a sterling silver dish to display it. The shop has endless browsing opportunities, and chatting with Bill made the visit even more memorable. Bishop Coins will now be our Eastern Sierra tradition. read more

I appreciate the irony of this review & the closing statement written on the sign that I posted a photograph of, but as someone with high risk of COVID issues, the signage and posters inside the store just come across in terribly poor taste. I wanted to give the store owner the benefit of the doubt, but the look we were given for wearing a mask was just silly & I felt that it were only fair for me to leave a review. I appreciate that some people may have differing views on the issue of vaccines & the politics of the pandemic overall, but when you serve the public, having posters inside your store that read: "COVID is a psy-op" and "COVID HOAX" it's a little hard to feel like the owner is looking out for his potential customers and their safety. With hundreds of thousands of COVID deaths in the U.S. & the excess mortality statistics quite clear at this stage. Stances like these aren't really matters of subjective opinion, they're both risky and a denial of globally and socially recognized facts. This owner should consider applying more care toward his customers & fellow Americans, in future. read more

Stopped in to sell some silver here while I was in town visiting. Very nice guy to talk to and I felt he was more than fair on the price he gave me for my silver. I had to buy some shark teeth fossils while I was in there also, because they were too cool not to buy them. I will definitely be back in next time I'm in town. I highly recommend this place read more

Very nice guy who sells at accurate near spot prices great little store.

The guy with the one star review doesn't know the difference between facts and propaganda. Yet. Some day, like all, he will also see it was a Planned-demic. Yes, many died and that's very sad, but most of us know it was because of the medical care/protocols used, and then later, the vaccine. We all know now the virus came from a lab in "CHINA". We all know now that masks do not, nor ever have worked. Fauci himself said this. We all know now that even though they tried to force us to take the vaccine, it never prevented the virus OR stopped the spread. What did these jabs do, exactly? Did anyone say class action lawsuits????? Bill is an outstanding man and business man who had the intelligence and bravery to speak the truth and stand up to the tyranny our government was imposing upon us during lockdowns. I met him right around that time in mid-2020 and am honored to know him. While some, like the one star reviewee from NY, may see him as selfish or uncaring, I see Bill as a self-less, courageous Patriot, knowing he would rather die standing on his feet than live on his knees. He absolutely does care about his customers and fellow Americans! He took the time to research and reveal the truth, and not settle for the propaganda we all saw on the news. He doesn't want to see us lose this country and our Freedom(s). I would call that someone who really truly cares. If this country falls to tyranny, where else can we go? I haven't been to Bishop in a couple of years, but #1 on my list is to visit with Bill. He has you pull up a chair and talks to you like you've known each other your whole life. So rare to see these days. I love his timeless, nostalgic shop, and he sometimes makes some sweet silver deals too! Pam P. read more

Bill is the kindest person. I went in with some gold jewelry that had been left to me. We chatted and had some laughs while he tested my gold I brought in. His pricing is very fair especially because we're in a small town with few options in situations like mine! I highly recommend this business! His shop has a little something for everyone . read more

Very neat coin shop. They sell antiques and coins, as well as fossils. Bill is a very friendly owner, and is knowledgable when it comes to subjects like coin collecting and history. As a Filipino, Bill made me feel comfortable, he even spoke Tagalog (my native language)! I'm looking forward to come back here on my next visit. read more

Stopped by Bishop Coins during our recent vacation to the Eastern Sierra. The owner of the store, Bill, is very knowledgeable and hospitable. He took the time to discuss a variety of issues regarding coin collecting. In addition, Bill is a subject matter expert when it comes to the history and geography of this area. We had a great time talking to him. Bill has a great selection of coins for the beginning to advanced coin collector. This is a must place to visit if you are traveling through the Bishop area. read more
