First off, let me begin with the admission that I have been collecting coins and precious metals for quite some timeāyears, actually. I finally brought myself to seek outside assistance to get a better valuation of my holdings. Through either luck or fortune, I had the pleasure of meeting Andrei. I have to give both praise and recognition to Andrei for his integrity, customer service, and expertise in the coin and precious metals market. He treated me with the utmost respect, which made me feel valued as a first-time customer. Andrei educated me on his appraisal methodology, what my options were, and what permutations our negotiations could look like.
When we first sat down, Andrei didn't ask about the collection itself. Instead, he wanted to understand how I had acquired it, what my goals and objectives were, and my backstory. Every collection has a story, and every coin has a history. Andrei's approach is completely opposite of a sterile business transaction. I would say he is truly a compassionate human being.
It is my belief that in business and in life, respect is earned only through actions. Andreiās transparency and honesty have earned my trust and respect. Everything else flows from that standpoint. Andrei's thorough and honest appraisal of my coins, along with his knowledge and willingness to explain the value behind each item, was highly appreciated.
If you are looking for trustworthiness, look no further. The prices offered were excellent and, I would say, better than competitors...

I was expecting the worst as I googled 'coin dealers' and searched for someone, somewhere who wouldn't smell desperation and ruthlessly exploit me, offering as little as possible for my coins ... I suspected this was going to hurt and no way I wasn't getting shafted. No matter ! I thought .... I called a few numbers. And here we are at the first problem with this business. Finding someone who will even answer the phone is a challenge. I happened to be calling on a Sunday which saved the day because the only open dealer was Honest Coin Shop. In New Jersey - I thought - ouch! I live in Manhattan - well not so fast ! With Some cursory research I quickly learned that most Manhattan coin shops would award me a few dollars below spot ... which I was unwilling to agree to - Andre, who answered the phone this fine Sunday was polite, well spoken, good listener and above all offered me cash- basically at spot- without a bunch of fuss - I just needed to make an appointment - which i did...

And I had called up the the person who owns the business 4 times. And he had picked up every single time I had called. Also he was very respecrectal coin agent. See I have called up other coin shops in the past. And they have have rushed me off the phone. Also if I recall correctly certain previous agents in my area were also disrespectful towards me to. SInce he has 3 locations. And since I live in Dutchess County NY. He also has a location somewhere in CT. And do to me calling him up the 4 times and him not being rude towards me at all. Or even rushing me off the phone. If I really really question if I even have a valuable coin. I will go to CT do to how much this person has helped me out. He even said to me that if I ever have any other questions for him. And as long as he has the time to talk with me over the phone. I can feel free...
