I usually don't put a lot of stock in reviews either positive or negative because the negative…read morereviews are usually the competition of the business being reviewed, and its hard tell if the positive ones are real or not. I can tell you first hand, when it comes to this store the positive reviews are real. The one negative reviewer who in his post seems to know all the ins and outs jewelry business, like what machines are used to evaluate coins, and what the price of platinum is. Who really knows the price of platinum and palladium besides someone in the business. Gold and Silver yes, but platinum palladium? What also doesn't make a lot of sense is if you have 48K worth of coins, like he claims, wouldn't it make more sense to sell it to another collector or at a coin show to get as much as possible. This makes me very skeptical of the negative review left by Jeff S. and makes me believe the review was left by a competitor or a jackass. What I do know, is I went to 3 different stores to get coins evaluated that my father left to me recently when he passed away in October. This store was the last store of the 3 I went to and they gave me the most money for my coins of the 3 stores. In my opinion the difference was pretty significant. I was very happy and realized that the other 2 stores were basically taking advantage of me. After the deal was completed and I had been paid I asked the the owner Bert I believe his name is and his assistant Jon, why the 3 appraisals from the 3 different shops were of so drastically different for the same items. They explained to me that he could not speak for other shops but in their shop they give the best possible price on items to keep their inventory full and they do not have high margins on items they buy and sell. They keeps the doors open by doing high volume and repeat customers. Well guys you earned a new customer, I will be back for that Rolex one of these days. Thank you for being fair and not taking advantage of me. God Bless, and Happy Holidays. Paul Tyler

What a great experience with Albert. His store is open until 7 on week nights so I was able to go…read moreafter work to sell some coins and have jewelry appraised. The price I was given on the spot was very fair. Albert looked at my jewelry, tested it and even had it reevaluated to make sure his appraisal was honest. He then gave me options regarding the jewelry I brought to him, both of which were no pressure. Good pricing and honesty is hard to find when it comes to buying, selling and appraisals. Also, I would recommend coming to check out the diamond ring selection. They're stunning and custom designs can also be made.

Stopped in to inquire about some repair services and was met by a somewhat cold woman who was efficient but indifferent and I got the impression that she could care less whether I was even there. It almost was if she were assessing whether I was actually there to do business or planning to burglarize the place. Her immediate quote was priced roughly double what I expected based upon my research with a three week turnaround for some simple adjustments. I looked around the store briefly and left. The displays featured signs stating items 50-70% off. Will not return and I'm certain the proprietor does not care.
