We've been to Carat Coin twice now, and both experiences have been excellent. Maroon and the entire team are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. They take their time with each customer, explain everything clearly, and never make you feel rushed. What impressed us most was their honesty and integrity. After our first visit, we accidentally left some coins behind, and they actually called us while we were driving home to let us know. That alone says a lot about the kind of people you're dealing with. On our most recent visit, Maroon spent a great deal of time with us and even stayed several hours after the shop had closed. He made sure everything was looked at carefully and that we understood what we had and the value of it. I've seen comments from people saying Maroon can be rude, but that was absolutely not our experience. He was friendly, straightforward, patient, and extremely generous with his time. We worked with the other two associates as well, and they were just as welcoming and knowledgeable. The shop is also easy to find, right off Lorain Road in North Olmsted. We wholeheartedly trust the people at Carat Coin and wouldn't hesitate to go back. If you're looking for a place to have coins looked at, appraised, or sold and you want to deal with people who are knowledgeable and honest, I highly recommend Carat Coin. read more

Very well-run operation. The store is clean, organized, and clearly active. I appreciated that real-time spot prices were displayed on a screen in the back--adds a level of transparency you don't always see. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and straightforward throughout the process. No pressure, no games. They also had a solid selection of coins, including some really beautiful gold pieces. For context, I was offered $325 for a 5 oz silver bar (with spot around $70/oz), which felt fair and in line with the market. Especially considering another shop down the road only offered $210 for the same bar. That difference alone tells you everything you need to know. I'd absolutely recommend doing business here--just make sure you shop around, because not all buyers operate at this level. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at this coin shop. As a customer, you expect to be treated with basic respect -- regardless of your budget or what you choose to spend your money on. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. The dealer was condescending and dismissive when I expressed interest in certain items, making comments that felt degrading and unnecessary. Instead of offering guidance or education, the interaction came across as belittling. No customer should feel talked down to for their interests or price range. Whether someone is spending $20 or $20,000, professionalism and courtesy should remain the same. Collecting is supposed to be enjoyable, and unfortunately this experience took away from that. I hope the shop reconsiders how it engages with customers in the future, because respect should never be optional. read more

Good honest business and fair prices for selling gold or buying or selling coins. Maroon the owner was very pleasant and I would recommend and I will do business with them again. Thank you and I really love my unexpected purchase. -David read more

Stopped in with a large 'bag-o-coins' I inherited. I can't say enough good things about Maroon and his crew. Spent most of my time with Michael who was amazingly patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. I can't recommend them highly enough. They were very thorough evaluating everything I brought in. Their offer was more than fair. If I ever have occasion to buy or sell again, you can bet I'll be going back to them. Thanks guys! read more

I have been coming to carat coin almost weekly for the last few months. This was by far the worst experience I have ever had. I came to purchase 90% silver and bullion silver. The dealer's name was Logan. With a spot of $77 he gave a price of $82 for a generic round, which is reasonable. I also picked out Morgan Dollars from the cull bags to which he gave me a price of $65/piece, which comes out to $84.04 / oz (65 / 0.7734). When I pointed out the price/oz for the morgans was higher he denied it and asked "what kind of math are you doing?" and "what do you want from me man?" I was simply saying it doesn't make sense that I would pay more per ounce for 90% silver than bullion yet he would not see my side. He also did not engage with any other customers and spent much of his time on his phone. I have had mostly positive experiences here with other staff members but almost never with him. I would like to keep supporting this local shop but I can't if there are more competitive and better prices elsewhere. read more

Blown away by this shop. I was on a visit to Cleveland and had seen Carat Coin on a youtube video, so I took a chance and stopped in. Although I had never been there, Maroon could not be more of a gentleman and treated me like an old friend. The shop is cozy and while the time I was there, populated by obvious regulars and a cast of fellows more than happy to chat. There's no pressure. There's fair prices. Maroon gave me his card which has his cell phone number on it - that's a sign of a proprietor that stands behind his work. Top notch shop. read more

Fabulous new ownership and BEST prices in town! I shopped my gold jewelry around to 4 different places and Carat Coin was the highest! Their transparency is what really sets them apart. They are so welcoming and such a pleasure to visit. read more

We found this place by their advertisement on the back of a local grocery receipt. We brought in some old jewelry and heirlooms to be appraised. What a great experience! Maroon the owner was very patient with us and walked us through the appraisal process. We could not be more satisfied with the outcome. Others have commented on how honest and trustworthy this establishment is and we couldn't agree more! Can't wait to do business with them again. read more

Great customer service! If you are looking for an honest and trustworthy place, come here!

Brought in some stuff that I inherited. I had shopped around at a few places. I talked to matt - I think was owner/manager. His offer was CONSIDERABLY higher than any of the three other places I went. The whole thing was straightforward and easy. read more

This place is AWESOME. The guy who I sold my dad's coin collection to was VERY fair and kind.

Terrible customer service. Terrible attitudes. They're doing you a favor when you go in apparently. They'll be out of business before you know it. They sell junk to junk collectors. That generation is dying out. We don't want your crap. The old sea hag at the counter was as rude as a goat. read more
