Sarasota Rare Coin Gallery, Inc. No such thing as no stars..Just not a friendly place..I stopped in just to check it out and have the guys look at a few old Lincoln cents my Father and I collected as a kid , I wanted to know if maybe I had something worth grading, reluctantly one guy dumped out my little bag of coins onto a tray looked at one or two, then told me to put them in my pocket and go spend them at 7-11, maybe he was right, maybe not, but right then and there a small part of me died, he made it seem like all those countless hours of fun ,collecting with my now dead father years ago was just a waste of human existence. then turned away and never said another word to me until I ask "So what's worth looking for in Old cents"? his reply "Why don't you go buy a book".. I guess I should pray and ask my Dad to forgive me for wasting all those days and hours of time on me as a kid. Just not a good place for the average guy without stacks of cash in your pockets. Thanks...

I plan to return to them to sell more coins and metals. I wouldn't mind buying some of their jewelry. I highly recommend this organization and the people...
Read moreThe staff is knowledgeable, fair and attentive. On our first visit Ryan spent two hours going over their collection with us even though we indicated that we didn’t intend to purchase anything that visit. We have since been back several times both buying and selling. I am extremely happy with every transaction and look forward to more. Their collection covers bullion, ancients, tokens, medals, collectibles, older paper currency, coin albums and books and more. My son and I have travelled to several coin shops between Sarasota and fort Myers and we are most impressed by this fine...
