Jon is a great man! He is very personable, professional and has the BEST prices in town. His merchandise is great! I remember when he first opened his store? He let me go through all of his silver certificates that he had. Stacks upon stacks! I got to pick out the most crisp ones and he sold them to me for an incredible wholesale price! Some of them were star notes!!!! Then, he sold me this beautiful rare $2 star note currency set that I still have for such an amazing price. That’s the kind of man he is. I am grateful of him.

I did end up selling and was paid on the spot. If I decide to sell the rest of the coins I will go back. I will also add that the shop has some really cool stuff. If you are a collector this is a great...
Read moreAfter selling my father-in-law’s house a year or so ago, we were then tasked with liquidating his rather substantial coin collection. Initially, I did my due diligence, stopping by several coin shops, but once I met John, the decision for me was an easy one. He was pleasant, great to work with and extremely knowledgeable, educating me some on coin appraisal. But most of all, John was honest in his approach, taking his time and willingness to look at the entire collection with me throughly. Although, it took several sessions with him, it was a first-class experience. And at the end of the process, we couldn’t have been more satisfied with the end result. I highly recommend Chicagoland Rare Coins; you won’t be...
