David Derzon Coins — Local services in West Allis

I went there because I love to shop at pawn stores, and Molines (the only other pawn shop near me had closed) I wanted to know how much they could give me for something I had, and look at thier prices on some jewelry. The lady who helped me was so rude, and it was clear she disliked her job. Everytime I asked her to look at a piece, I could hear her literally sighing, and I could tell she was highly annoyed. I asked her about a diamond I had that another jeweler told me was of wonderful cut and brightness. I saw another diamond of the exact same weight that THEY were selling for $400 more than they would give me for mine! I asked her about this and she told me that my diamond flawed, and practically worthless. Which is fine with me, but I had really hoped this would be my new pawn shop, but I will have to look some more because I will never step foot in there again! ...do NOT waste your time going here unless you like to be ripped off and treated like crap...

I stopped in there today to get a quote and possibly sell eight US gold coins. I had gone there two months prior to sell bullion and to see if they would treat me fair. The numismatist was not there when I arrived and was helped at the counter by an associate. All coins were pre 1933. All he did was check gold content and give me an offer that was less than even bullion. I knew book value and grey sheet value on all the coins and even had a ngc certified $10 coronet eagle. He showed that coin to the manager and she shook her head no. There seams to be no interest in being a COIN DEALER and only a bullion dealer. I didn't expect book value or even grey sheet value, but I did expect a fair offer. After I rejected the offer and voiced my displeasure, then the manager said "wait,wait" as I was leaving. If you are a collector don't let them take advantage of you...

I went in to get an opinion on a possible valuable coin and the "coin guy" didnt even put any effort into making it look like he knew what he was talkin about and in fact admitted to not being sure which lines to look at on this coin yet was sure after having an obstructed view of the coin that it was only worth the silver. I dont trust his opinion since the details that need to be seen cant be seen by the naked eyes and he didnt even take the time to fully look at it under the magnifying glass which (in a logical deduction) is a tool of that trade meant for...
