I've been a customer of Neil Berman for nearly a decade, and I stopped in on 12/30/25 to add to my coin collection and help my mom sell some of her silver. Neil is an interesting guy and a total straight-shooter -- he's the only dealer I know who will actually tell me NOT to buy something from him if he doesn't think it's a smart move for my specific collection. While I was there, I saw firsthand why he has been in business for over 50 years. He took the time to explain the current market volatility and refinery backups, even advising some people to wait a few months to sell certain items to ensure they got a better price. He was fair with what he bought from me and provided straightforward advice with zero pressure. Neil is a true expert, and I'll definitely be back to grow my collection further. read more

I went a few times looking for a straight answer on silver (melt value). Lots of double talk. He thinks he's the smartest man in the world. He has a plaque on his desk which says "mr never wrong". Well... the lot I brought to him he offered $300 for and the very next place offered $1200 (Danbury Gold & Silver - Kelleher Auctions) for the same exact lot. I have never written a bad review in my life... he left me no choice as I wouldn't want to see others get ripped off (not by a little - 400 % more was paid from Danbury). Also, you get the used car salesman "slick" speeches from Neil... "i have been in this business 53 years" and "the math is complicated, you can't do it". Silliness, this day and age anyone can look up the price of precious metals. He just wants to try and confuse the seller and not be honest about his lowball rates. Snake oil salesman. Huge egomaniac. Avoid at all costs. read more

Neil is extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to do business with. I highly recommend him whether you're buying or selling precious metals. read more

I have been buying and selling from Neil for many years, and he has always been more than fair. He is upfront and clear about his pricing and I have never felt any pressure to sell. He has been in the business for many years and it shows, I always seem to learn something new when I stop by. I have sent several friends to him over the years and can always count on him to be honest and fair. When it comes to the coin business, there is no one who does it better. read more

Very knowledgeable in fact he wrote a book about coin collecting. Definitely go back again. Definitely recommend this place if selling your collection. read more

Had a second great experience with Neil, couldn't recommend him more highly. Transparent, fair and easy to deal with.

A few years ago, I traveled to Mt. Kisco, N.Y. to meet "the man" who wrote the book: "Coin Collecting for Dummies" and several other scholarly coin collecting articles. In spite of my unannounced and unexpected arrival that day, Neil graciously stopped what he was doing and warmly greeted and welcomed me into his highly interesting coin and precious metals shop. Neil and I spoke for about an hour. During this conversation, it became quickly apparent to me that Neil was not only a very friendly and fair minded person, but also highly intelligent, well versed, fair, and highly competitive, in his numismatics and precious metals business. So, If you're buying or selling precious metals, or coins, and want the best products and/or the best prices, I highly recommend you go visit Neil. You won't be disappointed. read more

Rude and nasty. I dropped by, and Mr. Berman acted as if I was wasting his time. He buzzed open the door, and asked "What do you want?" Not exactly a warm welcome. He then refused to let me look at his junk silver freely (said I could only buy sight unseen,) tried to charge me 14x face (when other stores were charging 12x) and generally made the visit unpleasant. It's a wonder that he is still in business with an attitude like his. read more

Terrific experience selling old silver and rare coins. Mr. B explained everything, valued coins in front of us, and gave us a check after checking and weighing coins. Highly recommend this vendor. read more

Honest, reputable, knowledgeable and fair. Convenient location to do business, much easier than traveling into Manhattan.

This man is a complete con artist. The lowest of the low. Despite having a very interesting collection and promising to offer a competitive price, he not only low-balled me, he used false math. When confronted he angrily declared that he had been in the jewelry business for 42 years. I retorted that I had been in the commodities business for 17 years and that his offer for the melt weight of my gold was not even in the ball park. I had an item that weighed exactly 1 troy ounce and when you consider 14 karat gold is a percentage out of 24 (58%) and the current (spot) price of gold was $1285 per ounce that day, he offered me $496. Actual melt value was $745. Forget that the item was a beautifully hand crafted set of cufflinks and studs, I was willing to take below the price of the weight of gold (melt price). He claimed to be offering me 85% melt which would have been $633 and when I called him out on it he immediately worked his calculator again and raised his price to $605, still below 85% the value of melt. I sold it to a gold dealer a mile away, or $700 a week later even though the price of gold had dropped 10 dollars during that week. This man tries to take advantage of those that are unaware and he didn't realize who he was dealing with. Complete dirtbag. read more

I have been dealing with Mr. Berman for 6 years now. I find him very reputable, willing to buy whatever amount and type of precious metals I bring into him. I have brought in a range from a sleeve of gold American Eagle coins to $100 worth of junk silver and he will buy them at a fair price. I have also bought gold eagles and sleeves of silver eagles from him at a very fair price. I would not take my precious metals or purchase precious metal any where else. read more

lowest prices i ever seen go to central ave

Mr. Berman is a very nice person to deal with. He deals fairly and does not take offense if you turn down an offer. He does have a dry sense of humor that some people may not appreciate, but we enjoyed talking to him. read more
