Andrew was straightforward, answered all my questions, and I felt absolutely no sales pressure. The shop itself is very professional and welcoming--definitely not like visiting a pawnshop. Andrew was transparent about how they determine evaluations and took the time to explain everything patiently. In the end, I felt I received a fair price for the coins I sold. I had looked into selling on eBay, but after fees and other costs, there really isn't much left for the seller--so this was a much better option. The only minor downside was the parking. The lot is angled, and I had some trouble getting out because an oversized truck was parked nearby. I ended up backing out without issue, but fair warning for anyone who isn't great at parking! Overall, a professional, honest, and smooth experience--I'd highly recommend.

I was looking for a silver dollar from the year 1935 for my grandmother. Instead of buying it…read moreonline, I decided to visit a local coin shop because I hadn't been inside an old school coin shop in years. While searching for all local coin shops I could find, I wrote down a list of the ones that looked most promising. Valley Coins of Seymour was on that list.  For whatever reason, I've heard that some coin shops these days no longer keep their stock out in full view of anyone walking in, but rather focus on "What are you looking for? We probably have it in back." I called a couple shops who confirmed they no longer have their stock out on display, and then they said "We have a lot of stock in back. What are you looking for?" Fortunately, Valley Coins of Seymour was not one of those shops. When I called, the owner said they were open and would be there until 5pm. I left immediately and headed up there. Upon first walking to Valley Coins, it hit me that the place was remarkably clean and well put together. Everything was organized and the display cases were stocked. I didn't tell the owner exactly what I was looking for, instead I opted to look around and comb through some of the bins of loose silver dollars he had available. I spent at least 2 hours in the shop, sitting on a barstool, searching through piles of silver dollars. While seated, people kept coming in and out of the shop, and it surprised me how busy the place was. It felt like a cross between an episode of Pawn Stars and an episode of Cheers. As a first-time customer, I was careful not to make any sudden movements with my hands, or shove my hands into my pockets for any reason. I remembered once when I was much younger, walking into another coin shop and seeing a Glock tucked in the waistband of one of the employees. While I didn't expect to be shot at Valley Coins, I realized they didn't know me and I didn't want them to get the wrong idea. I found what I was looking for...a 1935 Peace Dollar for my grandmother. Upon taking the coin home, I noticed someone had scratched the initials "J.A.M." onto the coin, along with the date: 12/22/42. Wow! Had someone scratched that on the coin in 1942? Or was that someone born in 1942 and they scratched the coin on their 50th birthday in 1992? There was no way to tell, the only thing I did know was I had picked the right coin. The one with a story. I talked with the folks at Valley Coins quite a bit and was very impressed with not only their operation, but also their knowledge. Next time I'm on the hunt for a coin for whatever reason, I will certainly return to Valley Coins of Seymour!

They have a great…read moreselection and fair prices if you're interested in buying, however, if you're looking to sell, I recommend approaching with caution and doing your own research first. The lady who runs the business is generally fair and does her research, but I only learned this on my second trip to Pennies. My first visit didn't go horribly, but it wasn't the best either. I know the economy is bad and she's got to make a profit on things, but I felt majorly gypped on a set of silver souvenir spoons and a beautiful vintage stereopticon. The second time I had 2 vintage Franklin Mint silver keepsake plates, and that time she and another gentleman at her establishment researched the prices and informed me that I should sell them on eBay, since they would only be able to buy them for their silver content, which was a fraction of what they were going for on eBay. I'll admit that the second visit was probably better because I had the certificates of authenticity with the plates, but at the same time, the variation in the level of service was a bit striking. So, once again, it's a great, quaint place if you're looking to buy, but don't bank on them if you've got antiques to sell.
