When I asked the employee if this was his best offer, he replied, "This is my best offer." I later calculated the melt value of the silver they kept at approximately $5,100. That means they paid me roughly 75% of melt. Because of this experience, I will not be bringing in my much larger collection that I will soon inherit from my uncle. Very disappointed with Northgate Rare Coin Shop.

Baraka Gems lives up to its name as a true GEM! Everyone in the shop is so kind, knowledgeable, and…read morewelcoming. Everything they do is top of the line. Jamie is an incredible professional who is clearly passionate not just about his craft, but also in creating relationships with his clients and making sure their experience is second to none. He helped my husband and I take care of some estate jewelry after my father passed away and handled it in such a respectful and caring way as we navigated a tender time. We never once felt rushed or pressured. We were so impressed that I enlisted Jamie's help in repairing my engagement ring which had lost the stone and needed some rebuilding. He was so great at communicating and assisting in my search for a very particular stone while dispensing valuable advice at every turn. Jamie counseled me on the best way to go about the rebuild and I am absolutely in love with the final product. How lucky Seattle is to have such a wonderful jeweler. In addition, Jamie uses the business to give back and create change in the world for the better, which just makes choosing him for your jewelry needs a solid and lovely choice. Baraka Gems will be my only go-to for all jewelry needs in the future. Much gratitude, Jamie & Co.

I stopped by Baraka Gems in Greenwood today and had a wonderful experience. I came in because I was…read morelooking to sell a brooch and a couple of necklaces. My appointment was at noon, but I arrived a little early and was actually taken in early. Jamie Jockwig was the buyer who helped me, and he was incredibly friendly and professional. He communicated with me throughout the entire process, so I knew exactly what he was testing and how he was testing it. I also asked him a ton of questions out of curiosity, and he was friendly and patient the entire time. He never once made me feel like I was being a bother or asking too many questions. I learned a lot about the jewelry I was selling, and he offered me a very fair price--actually, more than I was expecting to get. I highly recommend Baraka Gems if you have gold, silver, and/or gemstones you're looking to sell. I have quite a bit of gold and silver from my father's estate that I plan on bringing back to Jamie because I had such a great experience. I'll definitely be going back!

He keeps offering to buy mine, after he bought from our Texas dealer, paid a fee to use his credit card for advance payment and was billed for shipping and insurance. His purchase cost him over $3,000.00 more than the exact same purchase I made locally, and he waited weeks for his delivery. He can afford it, but he never bought from his dealer again. I do feel their pain with the new 10% sales tax in WA, so I will try to sell some of my holdings back to them @ reasonable profit margins. They are good people to deal with, at least in my experience. They have earned my support.

It is a precious…read morefamily heirloom and based on advertising I have seen for Fircrest Jewelers stating that it is a locally owned business that one could trust with their family heirlooms, I felt comfortable. The shank broke on 5/11/2026, and I took it back on 5/12/2026. The lady who waited on me made a loud production about their one-year warranty and how the damage to my ring was outside of the year. It was 3 weeks outside of the warranty. It was unprofessional behavior and there were other people in the business who could hear her admonish me. She said she would speak to the owner and get back to me. I received a text message on 5/13/2026, stating that I could pay $40 for the repair. I picked up my ring and took it to another jewelry store who looked the ring over to give me an estimate. Attached is the picture I took when they explained that the work that had been done was faulty. There are bubbles in the shank and you can see the lines where the metal was added to upsize the ring. So much for over 30 years' experience in the business. I would expect this type of customer experience with a corporate owned business where profit is the goal over everything else, not from a "locally owned business that advertises that you can trust your precious family heirlooms with them." Update/Response: The ring was not bent nor had it been sized before. I hardly wear this ring, and I never wear it for work, around the house or in the garden. I received this from a grandparent, and it was a size 4 or 5. Fircrest is the only jeweler that I have had size this ring, and that was in April of last year. It broke at the seam of the metal that was used to upsize the ring to a size 8.5. The jeweler that looked over the ring was not impressed with the work and there was no discussion about the ring being bent or sized multiple times.

All coins were in MS 63/64 condition. Before coming to Seattle I had done some research on gold buyers in the Seattle area. We visited three Gold Burys in and around Seattle. Of all of the dealers we visited we found Zach at Kent Coin & Bullion to be the best choice. He gave us the highest amount for our merchandise. I had done some research before deciding to sell these items, and his offer was the closest to what I calculated. Good person to deal with. Of the three we went to I would not recommend Bellevue Rare Coins, they were the lowest of our three stops. Thanks Zach

Over the years, I've visited several coin shops throughout Seattle, Bellevue, and…read moreLynnwood--sometimes to check the value of a piece, other times to sell old scrap gold or silver. After all of those experiences, the only shop I consistently return to and wholeheartedly recommend is the Seattle Coin Shop. What sets them apart is their honesty and professionalism. Having worked in retail for years, including in a shop that purchased jewelry and coins, I have a decent sense of how these transactions should work. At many places, you can feel rushed, undervalued, or unsure if you're getting a fair assessment. At Seattle Coin Shop, it's the complete opposite. Every time I've brought something in--whether it was a single coin, or mixed scrap items--they've taken the time to explain what I have, how they assess its value, and what factors influence their offer. There's never any pressure, and they're patient with questions. Their evaluations have always felt transparent and straightforward, which is rare in this type of industry. Most importantly, it's the only shop where I've consistently walked away feeling confident that I was treated honestly and fairly--that peace of mind matters, especially when dealing with items that have monetary or sentimental value. Seattle Coin Shop is the only place I trust, and the only one I recommend to anyone looking to buy, sell, or simply learn more about their coins or precious metals.
