Very friendly and straight forward. Went to sell some Morgan Dollars and they were very clear with the price they were offering and it was a fair price in this current high volatility market.

As a women, it is extremely important to find businesses that are respectful and fair. I would absolutely recommend this for buying/selling coins. Very respectful and fair prices. I have checked places all around the Bay Area and this is the best by far!!
