History
Established in 2014.
Joe Ellis Sr. started a small coin store in Buckhead in 1972 selling gold and silver bullion along with rare U.S. coins. In the early 90's Mr. Ellis moved his store to Alpharetta, Ga. A lull in the markets created a need to diversify the business. In 91' the store got it's Pawn license and created the first upscale pawn store in the Southeast. "Honesty, Quality, Integrity" was the company's motto and in following this creed the company gained the attention of the community and quickly became THE place to shop, borrow, trade, and sell. Raised in the family business since he was 9, Joseph Ellis Jr. became extremely knowledgeable in all fields and expanded the company into new territory. The Ellis family business sold almost 5 years ago to a large Corporation obliterating the family owned feel. Service, quality, and functionality diminished severely. In 2014 Joseph decided it was time to bring back those qualities in a brand new company. The Silver Dollar, Inc.
