It literally has to be hundreds. Mistake my A**. Never going back.

I've been collecting most of my long life and even worked at a coin shop for a few years. I've been to this shop a couple times and I know they are coin dealers and have good knowledge because a store had coin in their name doesn't mean they have good experience with coins some are just silver and gold shops. I've made the trip up from Olympia a couple times for a quality coin unseen and got a great value. There's a lot of scammers out there and this place isn't one.

Last Saturday (June 6th), I stopped by Redmond Rare Coins to get a second opinion on a 1 oz silver…read moreround I picked up online, and this shop is the real deal. Santo buzzed me in through their secure entry -- always a good sign for a place dealing in real metal -- and walked me through a full verification process. He did a classic sound test against one of their known‑good coins on a rock slate, then compared it to mine. After that, he used their measurement device and scale; my round hit 31.1 grams, exactly one troy ounce, and the device confirmed it was .999 fine. That level of transparency is exactly what stackers look for. We ended up talking spot, premiums, and the current silver market. Both Santo and his partner in the back (Carol?) were easy to talk with and clearly know their stuff. I also asked about the Red Book, and they confirmed it's a solid foundation for anyone building real numismatic knowledge -- principles stay the same even when prices move. If you're a stacker who values transparency, proper testing, and straight talk, Redmond Rare Coins is a shop worth visiting. Solid people, solid process, solid metal.

Edit 7/24/26: In response to the response by the owner, this…read morestore is completely lying about what went on during this interaction. I would encourage them to share video about what happened if they have a camera recording of the interaction in their store. The guy that initially helped me looked at my coin for barely 5 seconds and went straight to telling me that I should not have graded the coin and that the coin tracks the spot value of gold which just IS NOT TRUE for this coin. I have no issues with what they could or could not offer me in terms of price. I had issues with their arrogance on what I should or should not be doing with the coin. Without doing any research, the shop guy told me an inaccurate market price and then the shop guy went back on what he said to me AFTER he researched that the price was higher. He then said that initial price he mentioned was what he would offer, which was clearly not what he was saying. None of us need to argue what happened. They have cameras in the store and I am sure they record all customer interactions. Id highly suggest the owners post that video and show what actually happened. The problem is if they show the camera footage of our interaction they'll show how disingenuous this store really is. P.S. They kept mentioning to me about how they're a shop and not an auction house and they base their market price off of wholesale yet they have an Ebay account that they sell on. Initial post: I would double check with other stores before taking any advice or facts from this store. The guy at the main counter barely looked at my coin and gave his factually incorrect opinion about my coin I was looking to get appraised or sell. He was so confidently incorrect on the price of the coin, whether I should have gotten it graded or not and so many other attitude problems. I confirmed with with another well known establishment in Bellevue that this guy was completely incorrect. Im sure hes an expert but Im sure theres ulterior motives to being that aggressive about devaluing the value of the coin. It initially started when the store guy looked at my 2020-W (PF69 and PF70) V75 Proof American Gold Eagle Privy $50 PCGS First Strike and said word for word in the first 5 seconds of looking at it: "You should not have graded this coin." That was just blatantly false considering for THIS specific coin the graded coins go for way more than the ungraded coin. He told me it was an 8k coin but anyone that googles or does any research can tell you its more than that. He then goes and searches it up on his grey sheets and it says 12k which then he went back to say oh 8k is what I would offer you. I even told him in the store that if he initally told me his OFFER was 8k then thats a different story than telling me that my coin is WORTH 8k, but then he just kept being defensive. He also says this coin tracks spot value of gold but this coins value is based off of collector value not the spot price of gold. I even told him I was not looking for market price on this coin and that I understood dealers need to make money but he was just factually wrong about so many things. This guy is genuinely all over the place. Im essentially telling anyone that goes in this store to be very careful with this owner. He's passive aggressive, arrogant and pretty bad to talk to. This store barely has any selection of items as well. Plenty of parking as its in a strip mall. I would not recommend.
