Avoid this place, they use rigged tactics, operate illegally, scam repeat customers, and get…read morehostile.I have been here three times now, and this business gets more dishonest, sketchy, and fraudulent every single visit.
First visit: They paid me $250 for 10 silver half dollars. It felt fair at the time.
Second visit: I dealt with a woman and brought her 13 half dollars. Instead of paying more for a larger batch, she actually paid me LESS, giving me only $240 for 13 coins. She spent the time checking dates but wasn't even counting them as she went, talking confusing shop talk "gibberish" to overwhelm me. Then she had the nerve to ask ME how many coins were there to see if I was keeping track. On top of the rip off, she didn't ask for my ID, my name, or give me a receipt, which is completely illegal for a secondhand precious metals buyer in California.
Third visit (Today): I brought a sorted batch of SILVER dimes and SILVER quarters and dealt with a guy. He took my coins over to their counting machine and deliberately stood directly in front of it to block my view so I couldn't see the screen or watch the coins go in. The machine magically claimed I lost 2 dimes and 2 quarters. I asked him to run them through a second time. As soon as he does that, a quarter suddenly "reappeared" and he casually said, "Oh, there it is," changing the count to just one missing quarter and 2 missing dimes.
They are clearly using their bodies to block your view so they can do sneaky tactics or a rigged machine to skim coins from customers who aren't paying close attention. After all that trickery, the guy tried to hand me a lowball check for $981, claiming it was the same rate as last time. The actual live silver market melt value for this batch is over that $981 amount he offered. When I called him out on the face value and the live silver market math, he got incredibly defensive and insulted me, telling me to "have my friend do the math."(that's who helped with the information as I sat there)
When I officially backed out of the deal and refused the lowball check, I asked what they would offer for just my quarters. The guy threw a petty tantrum, snapped, "We won't be buying none," and refused to do business. I told him I won't be coming back, packed up my coins, and walked out.This place relies completely on confusing customers, blocking your view, altering coin counts, and operating under the table so they can pocket hundreds of dollars of your money. If you show that you actually know what your items are worth, they treat you like garbage. Take your items to an honest, professional coin dealer instead.
