Hobby Shops near Wake Forest, NC

“Was a nice, clean, stocked store AND restroom, with friendly, helpful associates. I just wish this store, along with others like it, would sell in-season items DURING THE ENTIRE PERSPECTIVE SEASON. They mostly had Christmas stock, very little autumn, and it is BEFORE Halloween. It's mid-ladder October.”

“I started collecting silver coins, both rounds and bullion as well as 1 ounce bars and some smaller fractional pieces last year. I think at this point I know more than the average person, but today I learned that I know about as much as a preschooler does compared to Doc, one of the owners.I did not expect to spend the better part of an hour and a half after working speaking to Doc and some of the other customers there, but I couldn’t tear myself away. I got A mere peak into Doc’s life as he told me about various experiences and careers he’s had, all while explaining the history and the definitions of different types of bullion.I would pick up piece after peace having different questions about each one, and he would be able to talk in-depth about everything I touched and pointed to and answer all of my questions.I had never seen most of these coins in person before, seated and standing liberties and so many others, and do explained that they visit a lot of coin shows so a lot of the good stuff is absent at the moment. Well, I’m excited for when I am back in the area and can visit again, further our discussions and conversation, as well as check out all of the other treasures that are currently absent.If you appreciate history, want to learn about different coins, or bounce ideas off of someone, we just have a good 30 minutes to an hour to spend looking through treasures, then rear coins of Raleigh is definitely the spot for you.I left with two rounds which I’ve posted on Google Photos under the business. I’m very happy to add them to my collection and they will be pocket coins that I rotate, able to pull one out the instant anyone I come across either brings up investments or hobbies, or gives me any other reason to show them a piece of silver. It’s really cool stuff and it’s a really cool place.”

“Had a great experience. I'm from out of town and found this gem. Great, polite folks and great, hard to find, old-school card shop. Will return next time I'm around.”

“Dealing with Brad and Dan was a terrific experience!I recently inherited some gold and coins (US and foreign). Now, what I know about valuing coins and gold is, well, next to nothing. I was clearly playing in their ballpark. Sure, I did my due diligence to see generally speaking what I might expect to get for these items. Boy, one coin on eBay was anywhere from $250-$900. Anyway, long story short I was able to come up with values that seemed reasonable then subtracting what I thought their overhead might be and came away with a general idea in my head as to the selling prices for my stuff.I met with Don, their chief numismatist. He’s been in the business for decades, and did I get a lesson on just not my gold and coins, but a lot of other fascinating information as well. It turns out that I was pretty darn close on the value of my coins and gold. Overestimated on some got more for others. And, surprisingly, I overestimated their margin.I felt respected as a complete and utter novice, treated very well, received more than a fair amount for my coins and gold and received a terrific education to boot.”

“I forgot her name, but she has glasses, is short, stocky, and has blondish brown braids in her hair. She was very nice, and she blew up my daughter's Barbie balloons nicely and with care. Thank you.”

“Fairly well-laid out store. They do move stock around, and have seasonal specials, so sometimes you have to go looking or ask a staff member what you're looking for. But staff is very friendly and helpful.”
