I took my stepfather into this shop to ask the value of two gold coins. The person who helped us…read morepointed to the screens above her head and told us the current melt value. I like the transparency about what they'll buy and how much. I was immediately aware that this shop leans more into purchasing things for melt-value versus the numismatic value. The cases in the shop had silver coins displayed - mainly junk silver (silver quarters, dimes, halves) as well as rounds and bars. This shop offered the same purchase price as another coin shop in town for the $20 gold double-eagle coin from 1905 we brought in, but almost $200 more for the $5 gold coin than the other shop. I would come to this shop if I wanted to sell coins for melt value. I would check online before going in on the prices and what they are buying (I like this), but I probably wouldn't buy from them, and numismatic collectors would most likely not like this shop very much.

Thinking about selling a coin to Marty's Coin & Currency in Grants Pass? BEWARE: I accompanied a…read morefriend to this shop. My friend was selling a pristine 1 oz Kruggerand. After a lengthy coin examination and slowly visiting several websites, Marty announced spot was 1722 .. then he offered to buy the coin for 1322. He explained that was the only price he could offer in order to "make a little money on the deal." I know the economy is bad and times are rough, but an immediate $400 profit on one coin seems a bit steep. Burton's Coins (near Safeway in old town GP) offered about $40 under spot.

Marty was able to quickly sort the real from the costume jewels, then give me a value based on the day's market prices. He gave me a quick lesson on how to look for the stamp that indicates real gold and purity. He never made me feel pressured or stupid. If you are interested in precious metals and coins in Grants Pass, I recommend you give Marty a visit.

It was very busy when we went in on a Wednesday at noon, but we were warmly greeted. We waited in line for about 10 minutes to have the owner view our coins and tally up when he would offer to purchase them. (Slightly under melt value.) I asked him about getting the coin sent off to be graded, and he gave me honest advice "You could spend $80 to send it in and they might not grade it at all. This coin has been cleaned and has scratches. I wouldn't send it in." I appreciated his explanation and honesty. If I'd had more time I would have loved to have looked at the cases in the shop, filled with both new and historical goodies. They know what they're doing and they offer fair return on precious metals. It seems cluttered and a bit chaotic at first, but it's a fun kind of busy with lots to look at and knowledgeable people running it. Check it out!

THEY SWITCHED MY BEAUTIFUL DIAMONDS TO SOME LOWER STONE!!!…read more Okay. This happened in 2017... But I've been very sick and on disability so haven't remembered to write this. I went in with a ring, that I've found about a year prior, it was gorgeous!! 14k with 2 diamond flowers. Now, I KNOW they were diamonds ... It seriously looked like there was sparkly crushed gold in it. It sparkled so much I got compliments on it DAILY (was a bartender and teller at a Bank. I had lost a lot of weight. And needed to size it down. Also the prongs were coming a little loose and I was scared to loose the stones!! So I take it on, and they said they could fix it. My stupid butt told them that the ring had been found... And I knew they were diamonds, and seriously I wanted to get it appraised... It was that beautiful. So he was going to size it, add more gold to the prongs and check the diamonds... Something like that. It would be done in like 10 days. It was a foggy day when I picked it up. The guy said it wasnt diamonds and he thought it might be white sapphire... I thought that was strange but okay!! I loved the ring and it had a lot of gold. He brought the ring out with a black and white photo that he took the day I dropped it off... And says, "is this your ring??" And I said yes of course it is... You were the one who took it in! Then he made me sign something stating that it was my ring. And I did. Then he said something strange ... He said that white sapphire dulls easily, so I might want to get it cleaned regularly... I thought okay... They do free cleaning. But I told him I wasn't worried ... I've worn the ring for a year now and never had trouble with the sparkle in the stones ... In fact, it was the sparkle AT NIGHT that had me find it... In a dusty old rock parking lot!! He gave me a strange look but I didn't catch it at the time. I paid $900 BUCKS!!! for the gold and sizing it. $900. I take my ring home, wearing it of course, happy I didn't need a ring guard etc etc. it didn't sparkle much, but it was a dark rainy day. Well, I can SWEAR to you, they SWITCHED MY STONES!!! I SWEAR TO YOU... They SWITCHED MY STONES AND CHARGED ME 900 BUCKS!! I was so upset but couldn't go back in there and say anything because not only did I tell him I didn't know what stones it was... I signed the paper stating it was my ring, like a legal paper stating I examined it and it was mine .. but like I said... It was cloudy! There is no crushed gold...there is no rainbows...and NOOOO SPARKLE WHAT SO EVER! Well, I can't get my stones back... But I can certainly tell on them!!!
