Super helpful. His price to purchase my bullion coins was slightly higher than the very best price I could find, but when I figured the value of my time and the cost to drive or ship my coins, Pasadena Coin was the best deal for me over all. And I like that it is local here in Pasadena. Also comes highly recommended. Great that he has local in person office hours, and is willing to appraise my items in person and on short notice. read more

Josh is very fair and knowledgeable. He is a no-nonsense type of dealer and will tell you right away if he is interested in your product. I appreciated that, and you will too. read more

Perhaps the rudest customer service I've ever experienced. Had a mint 2017 American Eagle Silver Dollar. Simply said to me, I have no use for this. Regardless of Silver content, alone. No explanation. They advertise that they buy gold and silver. Just looked at me with a smug look afterwards.. like "why are you still standing here". read more

Brought a lot of stuff, most wasn't worth much but he explained it well and it was cool to learn about.

They were very fair and efficient. I recommend. They seem to pay a little more then other similar shops in the area.

Just called the folks at Pasadena Coin. Had a question on a stamp collection we inherited. They were very patient and answered all of my questions. Outstanding customer service! read more

Josh was very helpful, patient and polite. I visited his store two times within two weeks. I would revisit his store in the future.

I have nothing negative to say here except I should have written a review closer to when I visited the store a couple months ago. I'm a first time buyer, only having done research of owning gold and silver online. Living in Pasadena, the coin shop is literally across the street from my condo complex. When I was comfortable with my decision to buy I called to find out when the shop was open, Josh introduced himself and said he was open so I went over to inquire about buying some gold and silver. Josh is very knowledgeable, answered my questions, and added some education, which is great. I spent $4k or so between gold and some silver bars and rounds. Extremely pleased with my experience and recommend the shop, especially people just getting into buying physical gold and silver. read more

The owner greeted us when we walked in. He was very helpful and answered our questions. We told him we wanted to sell gold. There is parking in the back, and the shop has a cozy feel to it. I will definitely come back, as I am interested in collecting coins. He mentioned that the bicentennial quarters should be spent and that the 2005 nickels are also not rare. I had done some research beforehand and suspected they weren't worth much. I'm glad he was polite and took the time to look at them. I will return after checking another place for their offer, as I think his prices are reasonable. Overall, it was a great experience. read more

I sold my US silver coins here. The shop owner was friendly and patient when I asked him questions. I appreciate it very much!

The proprietors of Pasadena Coin are knowledgeable about a whole lot of stuff, thorough with their appraisals, and have been more than fair in my experiences with them. No wonder they've been around for decades. read more

I found a treasure today... so rare to encounter a human treasure...that is what happened to me today... In the name of Josh Hall... I was not only in need of a qualified and honest broker ... but I needed a kind soul... having just lost my husband of 60 years... and roaming around with a broken heart... his kind conversion and life stories made my journey trading a simple collection of coins for a generous offering and a treasure trove of tales... Thank You ... I needed a friend... .I hope everyone you encounter realizes the largest treasure in your shop is you a. smith read more

Went in to get some old coins I inherited checked out. Owner was great. Took the time to explain what I had and what they worth. Seemed very knowledgeable and didn't rush me out the door as I wasn't there to buy anything. I would definitely recommend this place. I believe the owner's name was Josh? read more

I found a ton of stamps that my father had collected over the years. I walked into Pasadena Coin and Stamp Company with in a heavy box of binders filled with stamps for the owner to look at. He looked through each and every binder, and told me that even tho they ended up not being worth any value, that there were many I could still use and he pulled those out and told me I could use 5 of them for a letter! I'll use them for holiday cards! I told him I'd donate the others to someone who posted on NextDoor that they use old stamps for collage art projects in retirement homes. He suggested I go through them and remove anything that had our family address on it, which was something I would not have thought of doing. Thank you for taking the time to go thru each binder, your suggestions, and for carrying that box back to the car for me! read more

Went to Pasadena Coin with a small collection of coins and stamps for a friend. Josh was immediately attentive and helpful and looked through the items I had brought in. Was very happy with the result! He exceeded my expectations for a first time visit! read more

Wow, this place is a gem. The store is full of interesting items, and I could easily have spent hours browsing the inventory. I really recommend it whether you are looking to sell vintage items or are a collector yourself. Josh is wonderful! He stayed late to accommodate my work schedule, and took the time to go through my extensive collection of inherited jewelry to explain what each item was. He really knew what he was talking about, and was familiar with the history/where many of the pieces were made (which was such a fun way to learn more about the items that made the process of selling them a very positive experience). He is very upfront and honest, and an all-around really cool person. Thank you, Josh!! read more

I love this place, very cool stuff. Although I wish they had a larger stock of items. The dude who works there is friendly and knowledgeable

Josh Hall the owner was very pleasant, patient and helpful. I had brought in a crazy mix of coins accumulated in travels not worth much, along with a couple of items I knew had some value. Unbeknownst to Josh I had checked with my sister-in-law's father who had had a similar shop in Boston for decades to learn what he thought would be a fair offer for the Confederacy money and 1900 Liberty dollar coin I had. Josh was spot on with what he paid. Definitely a good experience. I only wish I had more to show him! read more

Had a very easy transaction selling some gold here. Owner is very knowledgeable and fair. Would come here again. Also, there is a lot of cool stuff in his shop. read more

Very unique awesome shop in Pasadena. I have traded some old coins in for cash here a couple times and the owner is super cool and knowledgeable. Always gives a fair assessment and pays more than most other appraisers. Plus the store has a crazy eclectic selection of merchandise to check out. Highly recommended old school gem in the gentrified mirage known as Pasadena read more

I had to sell majority of my jewelry and old coins here during hard times... Be careful not to be too desperate or they will rip u off read more

If you have coins, estate jewelry, and stamps that you aren't sure about, bring them here. Josh is awesome and very knowledgable. He takes the time to examine your items, and will give you a more than fair price for them. He will also respectfully let you know if your items are valuable or not. Overall, there's nothing but excellent and accommodating customer service at Pasadena Coin and Stamp Co.--You'll also get an unexpected history lesson or two. read more

Everyone at this shop is extremely helpful and informative. I feel really comfortable doing all of my coin, stamp and vintage/antique related business with them. read more

Immediately short and inhospitable. I was passing by wandered into this store on s Saturday evening. The store was empty. I asked few questions regarding supplies and the worker (w/ glasses and beard) seemed very irritated and short with me. Instead of helping me as a genuine customer, he seemed he rather not have me there even though the store was empty. I kept a good attitude the entire time. read more

A pleasure to deal with. I feel I was treated with respect and given a fair price for my coins. I would recommend them to anyone who has coins to sell, read more

Bought a nice Morgan dollar from Josh the owner today at a fair price. The guy was friendly and helpful. Rick Monrovia, CA read more

Josh is one of the best people I've purchased from in the LA area. I bought some vintage military books and memorabilia from him (the store carries more than coins and stamps) and he was extremely helpful and fair. He even worked with me on some research to help me figure out exactly what the items were. Whether you're looking to buy or sell coins, stamps or other related items, you can be sure that Josh will be honest, fair and pleasant. I highly recommend him and the store. read more

The person who helped me yesterday was very nice and helpful! And they have a nice selection of coins!!

Highly recommended! Josh will meet you on time and is fantastic. He went out of his way to help me by actually taking me to another store to show me how to package important items. He is professional, extremely knowledgeable, communicates well, and can be counted on for giving you a fair value for coins you take to him. One time he paid in cash, and another time, when the exchange was for more money than he keeps in the store, his check was totally reliable. Absolutely trustworthy! read more

Josh was really easy to deal with and gave us a much better price than other places even over the phone. Had to take a check instead of cash, but we cashed it right away with no problems. Even did a free appraisal of an old ring we had with us. read more

After shopping around, I found these prices to be very competitive. I returned again the following week to sell more coins. Josh is very knowledgeable, approachable and easy to deal with. He was unhurried and answered all my questions. read more

I went to Pasadena Stamp and Coin Company for the first time this weekend after talking to Josh on the phone about 5 times. I needed to get some coins and stamps that I inherited appraised. I felt embarrassed that I had such large and disorganized collections (about 3 shoeboxes worth) and I know very little about coins and stamps, having only been to one other appraiser. Josh was respectful, polite, and friendly in every interaction with me while simultaneously being honest and straightforward. It turns out (as I suspected) that the collections are worth very little, but nonetheless Josh patiently spend at least an hour going through the pieces and even giving me great ideas on how to get the most out of the collection, such as setting aside some sixpence coins with a suggestion that people often like to put it in the bottom of their shoe for weddings. He did all of this for free even though he understood I had no interest in selling the items. I noticed how he interacted with other customers as well and his service was authentic and excellent every time. It was a good experience. read more
