Unfortunately Ive had to change my review. I bought a silver Eagle from NCS in a presentation case…read moreand the coin looked fine except, strangely, it had the reverse showing when it should have been the obverse. It was kind of hard to dig out and I figured it was all fine so I let it go. I came home and finally dug it out and saw the obverse looked terrible and this coin will be difficult to re-sell. Theres no way a coin dealer wouldn't have known this. He sold me this messed up coin at full price anyways without telling me one side looked like hell. So at best its buyer beware at this place. I'll never go back and he lost a customer over a $65 coin that he only made a few bucks for. Its the dishonesty that bothers me.

We were trying to both buy and sell coins. There was a purchase rate difference given to sellers between the owner (18x face value), and the employee (17x face value). The rates should have been the same. The owner quoted higher face value purchase rates than the employee. So sellers beware. I caught the lower rate and called the employee out on it, and he adjusted the offered rate upwards to where it should have been. I felt very comfortable working with the owner. Knows the business, very approachable, Has a good understanding of coins. The other employee used the lower rate on another customer while I was there. Thus you get the low stars review. After selling some of my inventory I tried to purchase coins from them. They had gone to a show the week before and sold most of their inventory. So that was the real drawback. There was hardly any inventory, so disappointing. I would like to give them another try, I just don't know what their normal business model is. Is it buying precious metals, or selling coins?

The store is a bit of a time warp, but you kinda have to love that. I'm not a coin expert, but I needed to sell some silver coins my dad had for MANY decades and after doing a good amount of research I called Arlington Coin who said over the phone they were buying then offered what I'm confident was a very fair price after reviewing the coins. Downtown Arlington Heights has changed a lot over the decades, but this place is still the same and a great option for supporting a local business and get great prices if you're in the market to buy or sell coins.

I have been into metals long before most of you who are buying gold bars in Costco these days. I bought and sold, from and to brick and mortar stores. Costa's is fine, perfectly fine. Hopefully will do more business in the future. And if you think dealing with online folks like Apmex or JM or Provident better in terms of prices, good luck. Buying won't be cheaper unless you buy large quantities. Then trying to sell to them, whole different matter and pain in terms of logistics and prices too. Price per ounce my ass. Any dealer has to have a larger spread then simple bid and ask for spot price.
