    ... absolutely BEYOND EXPECTATIONS!!! Let me explain: We've…read moreall learned that when something is too good to be true, it just might be. While doing some routine online shopping, I discovered some extremely well priced "925 SOLID STERLING SILVER MEN'S CUBAN NECKLACES" on the website of one of the 10 top retailers in America. They were handsome. They were underpriced. ... and I assumed (wrongly) that the inventory prices might be lagging the price increases in precious metals, (ahem!), so I purchased a few in different lengths and waited for my (explicitly stated) FREE DELIVERY. When they arrived, my husband and I marveled at their weight and handsome mirror finish. They were all stamped 925. My husband sells on eBay and we discussed ordering some more, holding them and potentially reselling them there if/when the price of silver continued to increase. In other words, we invested in them thinking we had spotted an opportunity. We ordered MORE. He researched other similar items on eBay and the prices already were much more expensive and proposed listing one to test the market. At this point I must have felt some sense of caution because I decided that I personally didn't want to sell anything that I wasn't 100% sure about... but I didn't know HOW could I be sure without potentially damaging the necklace. I asked AI where to test sterling in Las Vegas and on 1/29/25, I called Nevada Coin & Jewelry feeling uncomfortable because I had no interest in buying anything. I spoke to Laura and she was warm and gracious while explaining that they had equipment that could assess the exact metallic composition of an item without harming it. Within an hour I was THERE. Laura took me to a private booth where nobody could hear me or look over my shoulder and evaluated three items including one necklace. (FREE!) She didn't make me feel stupid. She allowed me to photograph the screen that displayed the instantaneous analysis. Guess what? My big box major retailer product, listed, sold, packaged and marked as 925 sterling turned out to be: 90%+ copper. Soooooo, What's next? A whole can of worms as my dad would have said. I'm holding a few hundred dollars worth of garbage that needs time and work to obtain a refund and apology (?) for fraud and online misrepresentation. Trust me, I don't believe that this major retailer with a good reputation will want to ignore this type of threat to their good will with the public. But as a former corporate person in both product development and marketing, it's hard to believe they didn't do more testing themselves. When I do resolve this issue and am made whole for my purchases AND my time and inconvenience, I will return to this review and post the outcome story. PLEASE tell Nevada Coin & Jewelry that you saw this and say "hi" to Laura for ME!!! Thank you LAURA!!!

    Horrible experience. I was trying to avoid going to a pawn shop as I have a nice diamond ring with…read morea rather high diamond weight to sell. I also had a few very nice rings that I wasn't going to bring out right at the beginning. I had a project on Yelp and made it pretty clear that I was looking to resell a ring. I was trying to find an actual jewelry store that purchases rings, not a pawn shop type of place that gets rid of the diamonds and melts the gold down for weight. Basically that's exactly who these guys turned out to be. The person who spoke to me was rude and supercilious right from the beginning, not very pleasant. He barely even had a chance to take a glance at my ring when he said "very generic". Didn't bother to get out a loupe and look at the diamonds, wasn't interested in really discussing anything. Huge turn off! I think I'd have a much better experience at a pawn shop than at this place. I wouldn't recommend that anyone go here for anything. Take your money to a different jewelry store that might appreciate your business.

    I was there this weekend with a variety of items. This was first time selling anything. I was…read moreholding on to things I was not using and the emotional value of them. I don't have children to pass them on to. I'm sure many people experience similar feelings when inheriting pieces. Neil and his team were straightforward and explained everything clearly. Their machine validated the gold content without any damage to any of my pieces. I can now take the proceeds to purchase a piece I would like that will give me joy, and not sadness, bc it belonged to someone who has passed on. 5/5 recommend.

    JUST DROPPING MY GOOGLE REVIEW OF THIS PLACE HERE AS WELL BECAUSE ALL I GOT THERE WAS EXCUSES AFTER…read moreANOTHER SO PSA! I brought a lot of gold and silver pieces to this place, thinking that I would get good pricing for what I was bringing to them, but no! Less than what the scrap gold was worth at this time and I didn't get credit for the many gems inside the gold like diamonds and emeralds and sapphires, etc. etc. They turned away the plated silver but now I learned that they actually buy that, but they just told me that I just needed to have them trash it. They did, but they probably capitalized on that as well! When it came to the silver, I got less than market value at the time. Only because the buyers, will tell you that it's because "they don't have access to their actual profit for 30 days. These guys are such "shyster's." Stay away if you know you want what your metals are worth! JUST GONNA DROP OWNER RESPONSE HERE SO I CAN COMMENT ON IT. THIS HERE: Brenda Porter let me tell you the truth like I told you when you came into the store everything I buy I have to hold for 30 days. It has to go through the police department to make sure it's not stolen. This is called a state law. Maybe you break the law, but we don't we buy things based on the resale value unfortunately as I told you when gold is almost at $5000 a lot of items are not as resealable as they once were how is that being decisive? How is that being rude? I simply told you the truth we have to buy things for less than the scrap goal value I agree what did I do? That's so wrong that you leave me a one star review very disrespectful on your end, especially from a local MY RESPONSE: You have no idea what you're talking about Neil. I infused this review with a response that you made to me last night about the 30 day thing. But, I actually traded this stuff into you more than 4 months ago, so go ahead and backpedal on that and make it sound like you're not a bunch of shysters! Let me make this clear as well, I did not call you before that visit that I brought those sale items/precious metals etc in on the trade day!! So go ahead, defend that as well. You are literally making my point and only making you Look more like the liar that I contend that you are! If you want to try and defend something, unsuccessfully, tell me why you didn't give me credit for all the diamonds and gems that were in the jewelry pieces that I asked your buyer about at the time?? Said he would get back to it, but he didn't. You work so tirelessly at defending your company and your practice that you lose time and dimension! @ Joe's response, you also do not know what you speak about. It's reflected in your response! Actual one carat, and 2 carat, plus stones... As for the rest of it

    In days of old, the word pawn is an important word from the Roman era that meant "platinum," and…read moretranslated to cloth. In these times it was not gold and silver that were important to the people, but clothing. The working class would pawn their clothes to meet their needs. These days, no matter what class of society we come from a pawn shop is a place to exchange goods for one's needs. While it may not be clothing that we find as useful as the Romans, many other things can be pawned or sold to meet your needs . Come on in and see what treasures that have been lost and need to be found. Do you remember when we used a hand shake to make a deal? Can you take someone on their word of honor? These days, our world has been shaken up, everything cost more than it did before. Where are we to find the stable footing for our future. You might want to consider a more tangible asset. For all these panning services this is the business to use. If you are looking for something different to put that fiat currency into. They carry a wide variety of silver, gold, platinum to trade those dollars into . If your into historical items come and discover what "moneys" of the United States used to look like. Many coins from around the world are for sale too. These purchases must be made with cash though. So if your looking to buy gold, silver and old coins bring green cash for the exchange. Are you looking to trade in some old coins. Do you need some money on the spot, then this is the place to be. You will get a fair market value for what your selling? The owner posts the daily values for gold and silver spot trading too. Your going to get the best integrity from the employees here whether buying or selling. When you come in ask for John he is an enjoyable human that loves what he does! He was the guy that aided and still serves all our coin purchases. He still believes in a hand shake as someone's word. Let's have a great day now!

    I had a really good experience at Las Vegas Coin Company. What makes this place interesting is that…read moreit's actually two businesses in one location, which you don't see very often. On the coin side, it's by John, and he was honestly great to work with true gentleman very patient and knowledgeable. He took his time going through our coin collection, explained things clearly, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. You can tell he knows what he's doing, but more importantly, he treats you with respect, which goes a long way in a space like this. The other side of the shop is more focused on toy collectibles. We didn't get a chance to meet the owner there, but the woman working was friendly and welcoming, and the overall vibe was positive. Overall, it's a solid spot if you're into coins or collectibles. Good service, knowledgeable people, and a unique setup having both businesses under one roof.

    I recently had my home appraised with this company. I had done many permanent upgrades in my home…read moreand yard, such as 2 large covered patios with colored, stamped and sealed concrete; granite kitchen and island with full backsplash; fully landscaped front, back and side yard using 4-6 inch river rock and desert hardy plants and trees; attic with pulldown ladder for extra storage; stainless steel appliances; 18 inch porcelain tile and baseboards installed on the diagonal and slate throughout 80% of the home; Custom patented stain glass window; AC and heating replaced with superior Maytag 12 seer with 10/20 warranty; Andersen Permashield sliding glass doors; new 10 year smoke alarms with 10 year batteries; custom closets in the bedrooms, and much more! It was described as being well maintained with a ONLY a mention of granite!! The pictures they took did NOT in any way do the home and yard justice! A picture of an old smaller hot water heater with cloth straps and stickers all over it, which was NOT MINE ,was included in the appraisal! Mine was a top of the line Bradford White 50 gallon only a 18 months old with metal straps. I was disgusted and contacted them about all this and requested another appraisal which was denied. Two patios were not mentioned nor were they drawn in with a dotted line on the groundplan. The lender would not have been favorably impressed.... Every realtor that saw my home believed the appraisal would come in higher than the listed price! Two homes smaller than mine, with smaller yards on the same street and same block with nowhere near the upgrades as mine sold the day after mine for just $,6,000 less. Another smaller home with a half patio, again with far less done to it, sold a few doors away for $13,000 MORE just 4 days after my appraisal. MY ADVICE: Avoid this company like the plague, and find out who the borrower's lender is if you are selling , because the lender chooses the appraisal company! Think about that for a minute...
