I used to like going in there until he started bringing his son in-i took a 18kt gold pocket watch that weighs 73.31 grams -I knew it was solid gold and his son lied to me and said it was gold filled and he could only give 25 dollars for it because it was missing the 25 dollar glass a gold filled watch only weighs about half of what this one does were talking 13 grams over 2 ounces its worth about 3500 dollars sonny boy and i knew that before i took it in to Ardies coins on Grand ave and 21st -so make sure you always get a second opinion from elsewhere before hand the mechanism weighs 13 grams so that leaves 60 grams of 18kt Gold see...

My suburban died near Billings and the only place that would buy my silver american eagles was this place (I needed the cash to buy a used car to get my wife and 3 little ones back home).

Otherwise, they were indeed in good shape and I know they could turn around and resale them right then above spot price, a premium even... simply because they are american eagles.

I haven't been in there in a few months at least but I stopped going there for coins and silver because of one employee in particular. The guy with the shaved head, glasses and a side arm (looks anywhere from 28-35). He was very rude and even stand-offish. He seemed more interested in intimidating me than selling me any silver. He also was rude enough to practically interrogate me about my back injury and why I was wearing a back brace. Wouldn't ever shop there again. Go to grizzly gold and silver by best buy instead. WAY better prices and WAY, WAY better service. Ardie's Coins has potential, but not with that...
