As a big Sanrio fan, especially Hello Kitty, this store immediately caught my attention when I saw Hello Kitty on the door sign. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a great selection of Sanrio merchandise inside. They also carry plenty of Peanuts, Disney, and other beloved character items, all displayed in a very organized and inviting way. I'd like to give a special shout-out to Roxanne, Karen, and Elena for their helpfulness and patience. I can be pretty particular about what I'm looking for, and they went above and beyond to assist me. The prices are very reasonable, and I know I'll be returning.

I cannot recommend this establishment enough…read more I inherited an extremely large collection of coins, both collectibles and silver, and I had absolutely zero coin experience prior to this. We, as a family, did our best to organize, sort, and hopefully price out a large chunk of the collection as we don't consider these coins sentimental enough to keep (nor do we have the room). After visiting multiple coin shops, online forums, pricing and collecting websites, we were still nervous about selling any part of the collection (the inherent nature of buying/selling is to always be sure on what you have, and what it's worth). I strolled into OC Rare Coin after placing a quick call letting them know my situation. I was greeted by the friendliest of people! I forget the gentleman's name there who is their Photographer, but he is an absolute joy. Granted there is usually a bit of a wait, given the small staff and high-volume industry, but that has never been a problem for me given the positive atmosphere and ease of non-currency related conversation. It was the first time that knowing I was a noobie didn't seem to be something i should to worry about. Finally I got my sit down with Dennis, he laid everything I brought out on a table, he explained exactly what he was looking for with each category, he showed me his pricing book as we went along, he informed me on what was worth it's weight it silver, what was collectible, the grades of things, etc. All in all he went miles out of his way to be clear, fair, and efficient. He encouraged me to seek appraisals elsewhere, and to do my research before making any decisions, which is normally unheard of in the coin industry. This was the first time I had left a coin store without feeling "maybe I just got taken advantage of", nope, not here. I left with knowledge, confidence, and honestly wishing I had more reason to return. Just an absolute joy to come here, and I look forward to returning. Thank you Dennis, and everyone at OC Rare Coin for being honest, fair, and transparent in an industry where profit margins are normally the priority. - L

L&C told me that they will pay 2 cents for almost all circulated Lincoln cents, regardless of their condition (nearly uncirculated, for example). Buy they are selling Lincoln pennies that are much worse for $75. That's quite a mark-up, to buy at 2 cents and sell the same penny (or worse) for $75. The price that they charge for coins is excessive. They refuse to show pennies that they have for sale. Much could be seen in person that cannot be seen from pictures on their website. They say that it would violate their security protocols to show coins, and they said that they are not a museum, so they won't show coins. I would suggest that you don't try to sell coins at L&C. I would suggest that you don't try to buy coins at L&C. They are greedy and don't make fair appraisals. This begs the question, why are they endorsed by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company)? Surely this endorsement isn't deserved if they unfairly rate customer's coins and their own coins. Could that endorsement be based on knowledge? If so, the greed of L&C overpowered their sense of fairness. I think that L&C chose their "horse track" location to bilk coins out of down-on-their luck horse gamblers, who are forced to sell their coin collections and are too drunk to know when they are being low-balled. I have not tried other businesses, but I'm going to try their competitors instead. Perhaps: OC Rare Coins Southern California Coins Coin Corner American Coin Hallock Pawn (Lincoln Avenue, Anaheim). I would not suggest Lincoln Pawn, because they don't accept pennies (only silver), and pay 1/2 of the cost of silver content, and have rules against buying silver coins based on the value of the coin unless they are certified and graded. Currently, Ebay is the best place that I know of to buy and sell coins. Some websites claim that L&C coin has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau (BBB). However, the BBB claims that they are not listed on their website, and therefore don't have a BBB rating.

There are table both inside and outside on the patio. Plenty of pottery options for painting. I really liked that there was no separate studio fee, that everything was included in the price of the pottery. The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable. I needed help with tool recommendations and the staff help me pick out the ones that would work best for my mug. I also was impressed with the final glaze. I have painted a few pottery pieces over the years and the glaze at Fired Up is the absolute best! I also loved being out on the patio on a warm-ish afternoon, chatting with friends and painting away. Highly recommend for a fun activity in San Clemente!
