Cool store. Smaller collection but some nice silver rounds and very cool pens and other collectibles. He took the time to chat with me and explain some things including the frenzy in the metals markets. Very low premiums over spot as well. I’ll be back. Thanks!

Super helpful and insightful visit. I thought I had error coins that I wasn't sure the value of, so I went here and found out they're not errors at all! I also found out the silver that I brought with me at least had some value. The I bought two cool one ounce silver coins. 100% Recommend!! H.
