Worst Customer service guy on the phone was the rudest ever even laughed at me for just asking a question! Worst place so glad didn't step in person if I could give 0 I would. He should be fired.

This is the place you want to sell your gold or sterling scraps to!!! Thru the years I have collected various pieces from dead relatives: Mostly jewelry or antiques. I really have had no need for it as it just takes up space. Finally my better half suggested we sell it all to Collectible Coins and Jewelry in Mill Valley. Seriously I have passed this place millions of times and never knew it was here. Dealing with Carter is a true pleasure: He is honest, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to deal with. We spent probably an hour cutting stuff up to get at the gold or silver....and was honestly shocked how much we got paid for it all. Totally honest and you get paid on spot. P.S. Carter not all wealthy folks are A-holes ( at least I hope you didn't think we were). It was a pleasure working with you. You are one of a kind. Highly recommended

I've known Carter Collins, the Owner, of Collectable Coins & Jewelry for 30+ years. He is the most professional & honest merchant that I've ever met. Even if you yourself are not an expert, Carter is & will always be fair & honest in every transaction. This is "The Place To Go"..in the bay area for great Estate Jewelry & Rare Coins. I've bought & sold Tiffany, Cartier, Shreve & Co, Van Cleef & Arpels, ..items at Collectable Coins & Jewelry. The unique quality inventory changes rapidly & new interesting items show up daily. You can also bring in your used, broken, un_wanted precious metals scrap, dental gold.. pieces to convert to cash or coins. Fascinating customers & collectors are always present with amazing items to see & learn their unique history, provenance. Don't be fooled by the simple image of this unique small store...the inventory is extensive & the customer service along with super attentive highly professional manner of Carter Collins is unmatched. + + + + + Five Star Service is the norm here. You will not find another business in any area that is superior! Looking for a rare item..Carter will work with the customer to find it. He has an extensive network of Estate Dealers Coast to Coast to find it. Do you have a unique Jewelry inem to sell..this is the place to go. Wonderful Rare Japanese swords are found here as well..buy & sell. Several days ago I was present when a highly knowledgeable sword collector was examining the markings on a Japanese Sword...it was not only educational but fascinating to hear & learn the unique history of the makers signature translated into understandably descriptive words. I've seen many parents bring their young children to Carter's..who "start them off on a lifetime of coin collecting" with an initial purchase of silver coins. Please patronize this very unique store that is truly "an oasis" of quality in so many aspects..something that is a true rarity in today's modern world. Old fashioned high quality customer service & integrity is always present. Highly recommended + + + + + Thank you Carter ;)

I only had one dealing with Carter Collins and I was completely satisfied. There's a reason for his honesty and good will. I might not have it exactly right but I believe Carter is Carter Collins lll or possibly even the lVth and I was very good friends with his grandmother in her later years. Clela Collins, Harmony Collins to her friends, was an exemplary woman and was 100% honest and much more. Harmony used to have wonderful Salons in the late 70's on Sunday's. Spiritual discussions, meditation and a group sing a long with a woman playing the piano and singing. That part, the woman and the piano, were horrendous but we all went along with it, for who could deny the 92 years old Grand Damme of Berkeley and old friend of Alice A. Bailey whom I so revere She was one of the most Spiritually advanced persons I've been privileged to meet and I have met quite a few. She was a writer with the Los Angeles Times and wrote a book during WWll titled How to Be a Good Army Wife that greatly helped women whose husband were in the War. It was such a great help during WWll, that President Roosevelt personally asked Harmony to write two more books titled How to Be a Good Navy Wife and How to Be a Good Air Force Wife. She and her husband, who I believe was Carter l, a retired career Colonel of the United States Army were very close friends with Foster and Alice A. Bailey when they all lived in New York. Alice A. Bailey was responsible for the 19 volumes of wonderful works about Humanity and Consciousness that I believe was the next sequential release of the Wisdom that was first released by Madam H. P. Blavatsky in 1875 in her amazing books that were among the first released information of the Wisdom of the East. The whole point of this rather long dissertation is that honesty and good will run like a golden thread through the whole family of Carter Collins. I do know that Carter's father was named Carter also. I hope I've got it right about this Carter being the lll rd or possibly even the lV th but it's interesting to see how excellent morals are passed down through the chain of a whole family. Sort of baked in. Carter himself may not know these things about his Grandmother. Grand indeed.

I was referred to Carter years ago. Upon walking in I wasn't immediately impressed, but now I have any firearm I purchase sent there. His fees are fair and he's a pleasure to to talk to when he has time, which is rare. He's very popular and therefore doesn't have much time to chew the fat. While waiting my turn, I've watched Carter with coin/jewelry customers. He takes the time to explain what he's doing and why he can or can't do something. Highly recommended!
