My wife is quite ill. I recently requested a coin from the year of our Anniversary. The owner not only had a coin for the year in question, (he went the extra mile by giving her a few sets of coins as well). Special place in Heaven for the owner. Hopefully my Wife and I will celebrate another anniversary together. read more

Highly recommend David! He provided an incredibly fair offer and was completely honest throughout. His communication was excellent, always answering my questions quickly. It was a pleasure doing business with him. read more

The owner was quite nice and helpful over the phone. I mistakenly came to the address listed on Yelp, called him, and he explained that they are by appointment only at another location. He was willing to listen and help out with my interest in building my antique U.S. penny collection. Do not show up to the address listed on Yelp because it is residential and is solely for the purpose of mailing/paperwork needs for the business. read more

These guys really care about coins. Highly recommend them, honest folks. They spent a lot of time with me going through my hundreds and hundreds of foreign coins. read more

Mountain View Us And Foreign Coins - Coins - Hobby Shops Near Me - Mountain View, California

Had a great experience with Mountain View Coin! I had a small family collection to sell and David was kind, accommodating, honest, patient, thorough, super knowledgable, and gave the best price around after getting appraisals from a few other places. Highly recommend. read more

Great experience with David. Fair pricing, great communication, and very accommodating with scheduling. Would definitely use again

This business is closer to me than others, and I heard of their reputation as far as pricing. So I wanted to give them a try. I was looking to sell 100 oz of fine silver from my bullion collection. I reach out, like they advertise, sent photos and a detailed description of my coins. No one got back to me. I heard nothing back from anyone. As a seller, you have to strike the iron while it's hot. Especially in the business of selling fine silver. You can't wait around for a week, if you want to sell at a price that is in your favor. read more

David Li is knowledgeable, efficient and personable. He reviewed a large coin collection from a family member's travels. He gave an honest appraisal of the coin collection. He is easy to work with and talk with. All of my questions were answered. He responds in a timely manner. His service was very valuable to me. I will contact him in the future if I have more coins to be evaluated. read more

David at Mountain View US and Foreign Coins was a total pleasure to deal with. He made selling my girlfriend's coin collection a very easy and pleasant experience. He is a wealth of knowledge and explains all the aspects of the coins he is examining. Each coin is unique for its mint location, date, condition, etc. All these factors come into play for the purchase price, and he is very fair and pays probably more than any other coin dealer in the area. He also will deal with coins that many other dealers don't want to bother with, so he is definitely the man to see for a fair and honest assessment and purchase of your coins. He also deals in gold and silver, which is also a nice option. Since I've dealt with him once before, I trust him to give me a fair and honest value on those items as well. He definitely deserves the five-star rating I'm giving him now. He earned it with me. In the infamous words of The Terminator..... I'll be back! read more

I met David and found him to be an extremely honest person who knows the coin business extensively. This individual went above and beyond to make sure my huge collection was handled with utmost care. David delivered on the best price comparatively. I can't thank him enough for all the hours spent and for being so thorough, you truly are testament to such an industry. read more

As advertised, I sent text, emails, pictures and voice mails to discuss opportunity to value and/or sell coin collection to MV US and Foreign Coins. I think they are out of business, as I experienced the same "no response" that I read about in other reviews on Yelp and other sites. As a business, they should post they are not taking new customers, which is understandable, but no response is unprofessional and not appreciated. Don't waste your time using this business. read more

We found a large number of coins as we cleaned out the belongings of elderly parents. We decided to sell them - we had two bankers boxes of 'collection' coins and really had no idea how to go about this. David worked with us. We helped the process a lot by having printed lists of everything we were selling which allows them to do the appraisal in advance. Appraisal seemed fair so next step was David came to our house where he verified the coins and paid us in cash. Entire transaction was super smooth. Would recommend this service to anyone. read more

If you are in the market for a coin appraiser/Dealer, David Li at "Mountain View US and Foreign Coins" is the perfect choice. David was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. (He could literally tell what was in a bag by its sound inside a closed container.) I would highly recommend him for any of your coin needs. His customer service is second to none. I only wish I could give more than 5 stars. read more

I am very impressed with the service provided by David. He responds to my messages promptly and is willing to pick up my items. He is willing to evaluate my items even when Im uncertain about selling them. He is understanding and supportive of my decisions even when I eventually choose not to sell some of them. I will continue to work with him whenever I have new items to sell. Highly recommended!! read more

Very unprofessional Mountain View Us And Foreign Coins.I like to say first i don't like leaving negative feedback because i resell and deal with customers myself.I called and no answer no big deal so i texted them my name,pictures and they responded pretty quick and said we can give you an offer.They also asked where was i located,i responded and told them where i was located and said when they are ready send me an offer thanks.The Next day came i texted them and said i sent you pictures yesterday and you have not got back to me.Let me know if you are interested or not,thank you.They responded and said hey sorry we are extremely busy right now,will reply when we can.I said ok.It has been several weeks they never responded after that.Bad business don't say you're going to do something and not follow through. read more

David has a very large selection of US and Foreign coins available. I got a great deal on a lot of 100 beautiful uncirculated Silver Kennedy half dollars. Very fast shipping. All around A+++ transaction.. Thank you David.. read more

Thank you so much for a fair, safe, fun, and rewarding experience! I look forward to trading more in the future! Numismatics is fun!

Simply said David was great. As the trustee closing down my parents estate we needed to get thousands of all types of coins appraised (US, Foreign, and any other odd coin made of metal). Obviously I tried coin dealers but they all wanted us to bring our collection to their store during M-F work hours. This is difficult since my free time was only on weekends. In addition my research based on some calls and reviews is that they would not provide a thorough in depth review of all your coins. This was also bad since I had thousands of coins! Then I came across David from MVUAFC! He works 7 days a week, works late (he stayed till midnight), comes to your house, returns phone calls and text messages promptly, provides a thorough inspection of all your coins (he spent 2 nights 8-10 hours total) and at the end literally provides an item by item list and value of all your coins. Most importantly he oozes passion for coins and is more than happy to help you understand and learn. Last you may think it odd to invite a stranger to your house to count money, especially late in the evening, but David is 110% trustworthy. He'll just about take any coin (Santa Cruz Boardwalk Coins? he'll buy them!). We ended up selling a substantial portion of the coins to David for future coin collectors! read more

David was very responsive via text. Sent him pictures of the coins (front and back) and he quickly priced them out for me at a fair price. Met up, exchanged the coins and he paid me immediately via Venmo. Great experience, I highly recommend! read more

I felt very lucky to find Mountain View Coins. I had already been to two other places with the goal of finding out the value of my parents coin collection. I actually don't know anything about coins. The first two places I went to spent very little time looking through my coins and seemed eager to rush me out of the shop. After those two experiences plus many phone calls made, I felt like people in the coin business are snobby rude people. When I brought the coin collection to Mountain View coins, the experience was the opposite of all the other negative experiences. The person that helped me was extremely friendly and willing to take as much time as necessary to go through my collection. It wasn't just a job for the person helping me, this person truly enjoys coins and was willing to educate me on my coins. There was never any feeling of pressure. The estimate that we received was a little bit higher than what I had received from the other two shops and he seemed willing to match some of the other estimates on some of the coins. They even had late hours which worked for my schedule. The whole experience was a pleasure. read more

David was great. I needed to part with an old coin collection that my mother had started when I was young. He reviewed the whole collection and appraised it for more than I expected. Could I have gotten another opinion? Yes, but he was down-to-earth, unpretentious, and courteous. I don't think I could have found better than David. read more

David was an exceptional resource to appraise a wide variety of coins I had inherited from multiple relatives. His knowledge and attention to detail are incredible, which put me at ease immediately. He was able to give me a broad estimate from a list I had compiled, then refined it when he came over to make an in-person assessment of the collection. Turns out some of the coins were more valuable than he initially thought, while others were realistically face value. But importantly, the price he was able to offer for the coins was more than fair and I took him up on the offer to buy them. I'm so happy I contacted David and highly recommend him to anyone needing an appraisal/evaluation of coins. read more

Had a chance to meet David in person. Was very easy to work with and was very accommodating to my needs. I would highly recommend mountain view US and foreign coins with your precious metals needs read more

I inherited a collection of coins that I knew nothing about. David came out to the house, looked at every coin and explained why certain coins were valuable and others weren't. He gave me an estimate, which I accepted based on the other reviews. David is very easy to work with and I certainly recommend him. read more

Had a great experience selling an old gold coin. Responsive, fair and paid me on the spot! Would definitely work with them again.

David did a great job helping us evaluate our coin collection. He came out to our home, listed each coin on paper, than explained the value and reasoning behind the coin. I found him honest and open minded to just evaluating our collection and giving us the option to sell or take his evaluation for free. read more

David was great to work with when I was looking for a specific coin. They had it in stock and the transaction was very easy. I will be a repeat customer and can highly recommend. read more

Dealing with David was just refreshing from start to finish. Besides being just a lovely human being, he is intelligent, competent, extremely knowledgeable, and truly acts in the customer's best interest. I had inherited many foreign coins and notes from my father as far back as the 1940s, and also had many leftover coins from my own travels, what all added up to about 25 countries. A while ago I had tried to go online and sell them because local banks don't deal in all these currencies. I got so frustrated with the online website that some time later I looked locally and found David on yelp. David responded quickly to my text and was able to come to my house the next day on the weekend. He easily and quickly valued my foreign currency and give me a detailed accounting of what I was selling. I also had inherited silver coins from my father and David meticulously went through all the coins and valued them for me. I have to note that there is absolutely no pressure to sell from David. While he was going through my coins I found out that he also values jewelry, he has a small scale and will weigh items and give you an estimate for your gold and also values silver. There were a few items he wasn't sure about that I allowed him to take back with him and to test, he then gave me an estimate and paid me via Zelle, as with the other items that he paid me for on site. Besides everything else I was able to sell a lot of the jewelry that I no longer use and this was a blessing. I definitely will call on David again if I have anything else to sell in the way of coins, foreign money or gold in any form. David has excellent customer service, he follows up with text and besides the hand written accounting he gives you at your home, sends you a detailed accounting via email, and this was all in the same day. David takes as much time as necessary to answer any questions and not rush anyone. All in all it was completely delightful to do business with David. read more

David is a super friendly, knowledgeable, and a resourceful guy. I learned a lot about coins from him and, he is VERY fair and reasonable Re: Pricing. I highly recommend this website and, if youre local, meeting in person and buying and selling your coins from David is easy to do...I have more coins to sell and want to buy a few, see you soon!! JT read more

I texted them to see if they could help me with the values of some coins. David texted back quickly and asked me to send photos of the coins to him. He was able to get back to me quickly and gave very fair prices for the coins. He came to my house to look at all the coins and gave us time to check with other coin experts. These guys are very fair and don't put any pressure on you to sell to them. All in all I highly recommend them. read more

I inherited a small collection of coins from my father. I wanted to get the coins appraised and then sell them. Based on all the very positive reviews, I decided to contact Mountain View US and Foreign Coins. The overall experience was fantastic. David was able to visit my house and he appraised the coins for free, and offered to buy them at the appraised price. I brought the collection to a dealer, and the price the dealer offered was significantly lower. David also provided a lot of valuable info about other options I could take, such as getting the coins further appraised by PCGS. I ended up selling the coins to David and he made the transaction as easy as possible. There are several things that really stood out about David's service. He is very flexible in terms of schedule, communication, and payment, and was able to make house calls that really simplified things for me. He is very ethical and trustworthy. He is very intelligent and gives excellent explanations for all things coin-related. And, as many other customers have said, he is a really nice and enthusiastic person, and generally a delight to with whom to do business. I have seldom encountered a service I can recommend this highly. read more

Super efficient and easy to transact with, they pay top dollars, I highly recommend them!

Very fast and friendly transaction, I'd definitely recommend my friends with this company

Recently I decided to thin out my coin collection. Based on Yelp reviews, I went to Mountain View US and Foreign Coins. I dealt with David twice. He even came to my house. Although I didn't get an assessment from anyone else, I felt what he offered me for my coins was very fair. In fact, a day later when he realized one coin he bought from me was actually worth more than he paid, he offered me more money for it (which I declined since people in his line of work are providing a service). He has quite a knowledge of coins. I highly recommend them. read more

I sold today my modest coin and bill collection to David at Mountain View US and Foreign Coins. He was very effective reviewing the really random set of foreign money and I feel that I got an honest appraisal and a fair deal. I can highly recommend this business! read more

I had a coin that was inherited to me by my grandmother and wanted to know if it was worth anything. I messaged the store on google maps and got a very prompt response. Right away David asked to give me a call so we can talk more about the coin that I sent pictures of. He identified the places where this coin gave away its inauthenticity through photos and markings. He is very knowledgeable, kind, and very passionate. Even though my coin was a very well made replica, I was able to feel better about my decision to call. If it was real, it would be worth 15k. I will definitely be coming back! read more

I inherited my dad's coin collection when he passed away and wanted to sell them. I don't know anything about coins and was afraid that I could easily be taken advantage of. I contacted David and carefully looked over my collection and made me an offer. As he looked at the coins, he explained what each coin was, what he was looking for as he graded them, and which ones were particularly valuable. David gave me a lot of confidence that he was giving me a fair and honest offer. A couple of years later, I found a bag of coins under my bed and reached out to David. I had the same experience as I did the first time. David is incredibly knowledgeable and honest. If I find any more coins, I will give him a call. read more

David was friendly and outgoing while being thorough and informative in his evaluation of our coins, explaining and noting values as he went. He offered fair values for everything. We were very pleased with his service and will contact him again for any like evaluations and or sales. read more

My 7-year-old son found a 1938 penny which he wanted to sell. We called a couple of coin shops who told us it was worth about 3 cents and not worth their effort to buy it. But when David at Mountain View Coins heard a 7-year-old was selling the coin, he agreed to do a trade. When we met for the trade, David gave us a huge collection of coins and bills worth several thousand times the value of my son's penny, and patiently educated us on the collection. See attached photo. He even gave my son a receipt to make it official. David refused any payment and my offer to make a donation to his favorite charity. He turned my son into a numismatist (a word I learned today) and gave him a memory that will last a lifetime. His extreme generosity and kindness melted my heart. Thank you David!!! read more
