Local coin shops: the people's list

» Quick access to the last post

Recently I've been trying to find some good coin shops, yesterday I discovered an LCS up in Downey that had everything I needed, not to mention silver for spot. I figure that, as a global website, we should have a list for all coin shops in our area.

Here is a list that will expand with your responses. Here I leave the address and review:

I have been hoping for a list like this for some time. Thanks Kenny! Here is my local:

California:
Riverside Stamp & Coin
6740 Magnolia Ave., Riverside, CA 92506
Review : Bargain Bucket 10/$1, as well as $1, $2 & $5 buckets. Auction wall every Wednesday (Ends at 5pm).  
Wow that's driving distance, I need to head over there sometime! Although I will admit I blew 85 bucks yesterday at the LCS, but silver is low so stocking up is good. Buy low, sell high.

I added the Riverside address to the list. Another trip to the 22.

I would like to add to this:

MILANO (Italy) coin market every Sunday- the 3rd biggest in Europe.
Located in several streets: Via Armorari, Via Cantu and others.

Very good place, my Sundays always started there...
Every single coin on the world should meet its collector!
Nice idea! Perhaps there could be a special section of Numista for this?

Here are the three most reputable in my city:

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

South Edmonton Coin & Currency
5712 111 St NW

The newest coin store in town, affiliated with Northgate. Decent all-around.

Northgate Stamp & Coin
12516 118 Avenue NW

The oldest coin store in town - also a very small store. Great selection.

There is an enormous (bigger than a bathtub) trough of 5/$1 world coins here. You could spend all day digging through the thing. Bring a hand trowel.

National Pride Coin & Stamp (although the stamps are almost all gone)
8005 104 St NW

Lots of interesting stuff here. Well-established.

There is a coin store in the famous West Edmonton Mall, but only about 1/3rd of the store space is actually used for coins or stamps (the rest is junk) and the prices are very high. West Edmonton Mall is an enormous tourist trap anyway, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't really, really love shopping.

Calgary is the other big city in my province, 300 kilometers south of Edmonton. I go there often enough to recommend one store.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Calgary Coin Gallery
1404 Centre Street SE, Calgary

This store makes me want to visit Calgary more often, it's absolutely excellent and has a great web presence too.
Hey over in my neck of the woods there is a great coin shop. They have a very nice selection of both US and foreign coins plus a knowledgable and friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit if anyone is ever in the area!

Brookfield Coin and Card
499 Federal Rd, Brookfield, CT 06804
This is so unfair! You people don't get cryptic coin shop names... All I get is Bullion, Bullion, Bullion!
Anyway, great list, should help me out if I ever am in those places.
Good one Kenny G, I was considering about this topic, perhaps including reviews from different points of view (What kind of coins, and if the prices are too high or decent).

here in Japan I found the below link and started to visit them whenever I have the opportunity.
http://www.jnda.or.jp/com/member_dealers.htm

So far I have visited:

Ginza Coins - Review: Gold and Silver Coins mainly, prices are high
Address: Ginza Five 1F, 5-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo Japan 104-0061

Nichiyu Coins - Mainly Japanese coins, staff is very friendly (only speak japanese) a small colletion of World coins.
Address: 1-13-8,Shibuya-ku,Tokyo Japan 150-0002

Matsura Kosendo, so far this was my favorite one, they have a lot of things there, including silver, gold at some different prices, world coins, etc. They even gave me some tea (it was a cold day)
Address: 4-23-15 Nishi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo Japan 171-0021

Cheers.

I've added hyperlinks to the shops' websites if anyone is interested to read more. Although the sites do not provide the experience of visiting the LCS, they provide additional information that is not provided on the list.

These are the only three coin stores in my area that I have visited, and I don't really recommend any of them.  World coins are the least respected field of numismatics in America, and these stores all reflect that attitude.  It seems like the DC area is really hurting for a decent coin store!

Virginia:
Latherow Stamp & Coin
5054 Lee Highway
Arlington, VA 22207-1605
(703) 538-2727
No website.  Mostly stamps, some coins.  Coin inventory is almost entirely US coins and bullion.  Great place for numismatic supplies like tubes, folder and holders, though.

Joe Gallo Coins
7120 Little River Turnpike
Annandale, VA 22003
(703) 354-3700
No website.  Very knowledgeable and well stocked, but hard to find.  Limited hours of operation.  

Maryland:
Arundel Coins & Collectibles
7418 Baltimore Annapolis Blvd
Glen Burnie, MD 21061
(410) 761-3232
No website.  Very small store almost exclusively US coins and bullion.  Some sports collectibles.

On the other hand, the DC/Baltimore area has some great local and regional coin shows!
Quote: nalaberongNice idea! Perhaps there could be a special section of Numista for this?
Amen! Maybe Kenny can make it happen?
I've already spoken to Xavier about developing a Google Earth style map with pins that we could put in to mark shops.

One of many ideas I had...
Added the Maryland and Virginia coin shops, thank you Cerulean.

Ben do you think you could sticky this post, or sticky the addresses and use this for responses and new addresses?

4658 Beechnut
Houston, TX 77096
(just inside the 610 West Loop)
This place has a solid world collection, which is unusual for American coin stores.  The staff is helpful, but primarily focused on US coins and bullion.  They do have a gentlemen who specializes in foreign coins, however.  They're open Tues-Saturday.  I prefer this place of all the Houston stores.

http://www.hnex.com/bullion.html
2486 Times Blvd
Houston TX 77005 USA
This coin store is more focused on rarities and its prices reflect that.  The staff is a little gruff and can usually tell if you're in their price range.  Their attitudes reflect their estimation of your wallet size.  I tend to skip going here, especially because parking is a pain in the area.

http://www.buyuscoins.com
8435 Katy Fwy,
Houston, TX 77024
Went once, never going back.  They offered me bullion value for a coin that was worth $400 for collectors (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces10301.html).  I offered the sale only to see how honest they'd be after I heard poor feedback from other collectors.   
One thing to remember about dealers who offer bullion prices on silver coins is that to them it is "stuff," and they are likely catering to the investor who is looking for a pile of silver to sit on. That said, you should look at the offerings that dealer has, including any sort of "foreign silver bin" because the deals may be there.
Quote: sherminator505That said, you should look at the offerings that dealer has, including any sort of "foreign silver bin" because the deals may be there.
Yes, exactly. Bought a good amount of early NZ silver from George V and VI for spot value. Good for investment and for collecting.

 I cannot give a review as I live nowhere near this place ...

 but hopefully some members nearer will have been there.

 I got their leaflet as packing inside a coin set I got in the post today ...

Review: Mostly valuable coins, with prices solely based on Catalog values. A good selection of inexpensive world coins. Mostly between 29 cents to 1.99. For US coins it is okay. Solid choice overrall if you are looking to invest in silver or gold, this is an excellent choice. Also highly recommended for world coins. 5 stars overrall!

Review: Owner is not very knowledgeable. However, that is mostly to your advantage. ( for example I got a china-empire coin worth about 3 dollars in silver because he couldn't tell what type it was.) US coins are very arbitrarily priced. ( an 1868 shield nickel in VG for 15 dollars, but Barber silver dime in VF for 2 dollars. Overrall 3 stars.

My most "local" coin dealer. It's about a one minute stroll from my front door and directly on the route to my doctor's office and the best gyros in town so I stop by quite frequently.

http://belleaircoins.com/

Most of the trade is of course bullion but they have some nice "foreign" silver coins for sale at very reasonable prices. They also resell junk silver at very competitive prices and they don't mind me picking out the SLQs and Barbers. They also have a wide stock of supplies with rates very much lower than eBay although you won't find anything out of the norm like self sealing 2x2s.

There are about a dozen other shops within two miles or so which sell coins although the best of them changed to an eBay only store back in February.
Non illegitimis carborundum est.  Excellent advice for all coins.
Make Numismatics Great Again!  
Don't really have a local coin dealer where I live (that I'm aware of), but I have visited this Collectors Centre a few times over the past year and picked up a couple of nice coins and my proof set of UK coins for 1976 very reasonably priced.

For all you banknote collectors. Link to my swap list.

I recently went to Plaza Mayor in Madrid and they have a coin fair each Sunday from 9 till 2 with about 60 dealers. There are also 5 stores there selling coins.  Great place and good variety. I ran out of time!
Ohio:
399 S State St
Westerville, Ohio 43081

This is my go-to place here in the Columbus area. The staff is knowledgeable, the selection is wide and varied, and they don't look down on lower-end collectors like me. If it's not in the cabinets on the floor, they probably have one in back.

A great list. Here is my contribution:

Malta, Valletta:
SAID MALTA
S.E. Said Ltd.
36 Zachary Street
Valletta, Malta
VLT1132

Facebook: Said Malta
ebay seller: said_malta
website: www.saidmalta.com
email: sacha@saidmalta.com

The shop is selling mainly euro coins including Eurozone sets, Maltese commemorative gold and silver coins, Maltese banknotes and second hand gold and silver jewelries. You can also find some foreign banknotes, yet the collection is so limited and hardly any UNC ones. British war medals are also available. Stamps are available too.

A couple to add to the list

M.R. Roberts - Wynyard Coin center
7 Hunter Arcade Lower Concourse
Wynyard Railway Station
Sydney, NSW Australia
+61 (0)2 9299 2047
Sydney has a handful of coin stores in the central business district but this one has the best inventory and the best prices. They also handle foreign coins and I got a couple of US Silver dollars here cheaper than I would have been able to back in the US.

Frederick Coin Exchange
20 N. East street
Frederick, MD 21701
+1 (301) 898-2863

Best dealer in metro DC in my opinion. Excellent inventory of both US and foreign with fair pricing. I also go there and buy foreign coins for under exchange rate (96%) and spend them on my foreign travels.

​This place has a solid world collection, which is unusual for American coin stores. The staff is helpful, but primarily focused on US coins and bullion. They do have a gentlemen who specializes in foreign coins, however. They're open Tues-Saturday. I prefer this place of all the Houston stores.
​​
​I agree this is will stocked with world coins, but a few years ago I had a nice silver Guatemalan coin and they offered me $2.50 for it. I sold it to a collector the next day for $200. He said he has not seen one of those coins in years.
Trade only within the US.

A few bargains to be had, but not many as they know exactly what they have. They also have Banknotes, ancient artefacts (opposite The British Museum, so I guess they have to) and random stuff like casino chips!

They have a high turnover, so don't think too long. Their gradings are, pretty much, always fair. A favourite of mine when I'm in town. 8/10

Cant recommend Mark and Collectors World highly enough. A keen Banknote collector too.
I'm surprised no one from the UK listed this one:

Bath Stamp & Coin Shop

The last three times I was in the USA I visited this coin shop ...

Lincoln Coin and Stamp, 33 West Tupper st, Buffalo, New York.

Mainly US coins with some foreign. Very old fashioned coin place. Receipts written out by hand. I don't think they have or use a computer.

The owner is a real gentleman. Cheers Mike

On holiday in Thessaloniki I came across a shop in Tositsa, a fascinating flea market area. I found this man today and intend to go back and learn more, but he is impressively knowledgeable about greek coins and sells stamps and banknotes as well.

​Also please drop an address and city when leaving a review
I visited a flea market whereby there were lots of coin dealers selling collectibles and numismatic accessories. The place is located at Amcorp Mall, Petaling Jaya (outskirt of Kuala Lumpur). It's best to visit on Sundays as most dealers will be operating then.

Address:
Amcorp Mall
18 Persiaran Barat
46000 Petaling Jaya
Selangor
Opening hours: 10am-6pm Weekends

Another Mall which hosted a few numismatic shops is Berjaya Times Square in Kuala Lumpur. One of the shops is :
CT Tan Trading
Lot 08-26, 8th Floor, Berjaya Times Square
Kuala Lumpur.
Website: https://www.berjayatimessquarekl.com/store/cttan-trading-eighth-floor-undefined#
This is a great topic.
Have you considered turning this list into a page on your website?
A list of dealers with retail shops that your members have actually visited would be really useful.
Limit it to shops that people have actually been in + have commented on (include the date of the visit + opening hours)
Its already on the site under "Outings" ... but I don't know who keeps the lists up-to-date
Good to know - I would not have thought to look in there.

Having looked, it is a very useful section.

Hopefully one (or two) of your members will visit my shop when it opens
Could anyone comment on the Shops in Amsterdam? are their prices fare? or higher than other countries, ebay etc etc?

Closed up shop as of June 1st.
Bay Coin & Stamps
Atrium, 595 Bay St, Toronto, ON M5G 2C2 (the path exit from Dundas Station)
- I've never ended up buying coins over here, however he's my go to guy for albums, sheets and coin flips. I'd say he has a nice selection of new Canadian coins, but I don't really look for those

Niagara Coins & Collectibles
4936 Victoria Ave, Niagara Falls ON
- The guy at the store was so full of himself. The store looked like one of those old timer's antique hoarding garage. Off the bat, this young guy asks what exactly my friend and I were looking for and what our budget was. And then he proceeded to boast how big his coin business operation was (basically implying he didn't have time for small fry like us). And all that with a smile!

Ancient Numismatic Enterprise
2219 Queen St E, Toronto, ON M4E 1E8
- I've met Svetolik Kovacevic twice at the TOREX but haven't been to his shop yet. He's a really nice guy and has a large selection of both canadian and world coins. I've been meaning to go to his shop which for me is on the other side of town. I'll let you know my experience when I eventually do. However, judging from his table at TOREX and his assurance that I only saw a fraction of his inventory, I have fairly high hopes :-)

They mostly deal in stamps, but also have a large inventory of supplies, which you can order online. Or, you can stop by and just go into their backroom and grab whatever you need off the shelves.

Is there any shops in Stockholm? I'm going to visit Stockholm soon.
France:

Lorient Collections

4 Rue Marie Dorval, 56100 Lorient
Pretty good - Owner called Micheal (Michelle in French but its a guy). He's nice to chat to (in French) - has more stamps than coins - but I have bought quite a few from there

Cabinet Numismatique de Bretagne
3 Rue Georges Gaigneux, 56100 Lorient
Pretty good too - has more coins than the other one but I think the atmosphere is a little less friendly and not as good to chat to but the owner is still pretty canny.
Dear all,

I am travelling to Bangkok in February, and would like to know are there any coin shops you can recommend?

Ottawa, Ontario:

Universal Coins
https://www.universalcoins.ca/
Mostly rare metal (silver, gold etc) coins from North America. International coins are not their specialty, although they have a bin of circulation coins from all around the world.

Ashbrook Collectibles
http://www.ashbrookcollectibles.ca/
Coins, banknotes, stamps and military badges from all around the world.

I frequently go to both (apart from the monthly collector show at RA Centre, every 2nd Sunday).
My (still modest) collection:

Colorado Springs, Colorado. USA

  • Souk Al Arsah (سوق العرصة)
Traditional covered market with several shops selling antiques and various coins, tokens and medals. As far as I know, it's the cheapest market for coins in UAE.

Ras Al Khaimah
  • Turathiyat Ajdadi (تراثيات أجدادي)
Antiques shop, occasionally sells coins and medals. If you visit, you can tell him you are my friend, might get you a discount ;)

If you have good addresses, feel free to share in the Outings section ;)
Wanted to mention a fantastic shop in Mobile, Ala. It is ran by two incredibly knowledgeable people. Ron specializes in US coins and Angelo specializes in world coins. They have an incredible amount of both US and world coins and are willing to help you find that "one more country" or "that one more KM#".

There website is http://mobilebaycoins.com/ they are on eBay but I am not sure under what name. They also have a live radio talk show on Tuesday nights at 8 central time on fmtalk1065 which is local in Mobile but also on iheartradio.

If you have a minute look them up.

Finland:
Helsinki:
Holmasto:

Holmasto is a coin shop and a auction place in the middle of Helsinki, near a starbucks and a large shopping centre. Aleksanterinkatu 50.
Holmasto looks pretty messy from the outside but it is a great shop from the inside. It offers thousands of coins, banknotes, medals and jewelery. As a small example, the platinum 3 rouble and many gold coins from all over the world.
Probably the largest or one of the largest coin shops in Finland.
holmasto.fi

Tam​pere:
Raha-apaja:
This one is my favourite in Finland. A medium/small sized coin shop only a kilometre away from my home.
Offers many rare Finnish and Russian coins, but does not have so many coins as Holmasto.
Sammonkatu 14 Tampere.

Others:

Postimerkkiliike vetola oy
Rautatienkatu 12 Tampere
Mostly a stamp store, but also sells a few Finnish coins and banknotes and euro coins.

Here are about all where I have been in Finland.
In Hong Kong here is where most of the coin collectors sell their items:

It is a great shop, has all kinds of foreign coins sorted by country, a few old Romans (encrusted) and good prices on silver bullion. Spend quite a bit of time here considering how small of a shop it was.
Please post any new entries here instead, so they can be updated into the official list more efficiently.
