After my wife collected a batch of older coins, and we are now planning on retiring and moving from our home to a smaller place, we didn't know where to go or turn to. The coins my wife collected was for a silver anniversary event she had put together for her parent 25th anniversary which was 1/2 a century ago. I checked yelp and called Gary from ABC GT coins was highly rated.....I learned why. Gary was consummately honest, respectful and knowledgeable. My wife and I trusted him explicitly. I must have bothered him at least 3-4 times in one day and to be honest, I called a few other places and no one was as upfront as he was nor as helpful. He asked us what we had and what he would look at. No wasted time. All the while open and sincere. We planned a meeting that day and he was even willing to meet us where we wanted (I'm sure within reason). Who does that nowadays? When we met him for the first time, we were a little apprehensive because this was our first (and possibly our only time since we aren't rich but just had a cache of coins to get rid of to a reputable dealer) to be selling or trading coins. So, we amazed by how much our first impression of Gary was spot on. Coin collecting is a hobby of his and we learned so much about coins .... and even a bit of his philosophy to life and business. When my wife and I left, we spoke amongst ourselves and stated we would undoubtedly trust him in his day job and most definitely in his coin collecting. Though we doubt we would find more coins lying around. He's really a good person all around. Thanks to yelp we've found countless of reputable and principled business people. ABC GT coins is another feather in Yelp's head band. read more

Every coin shop I went to either had a grumpy old guy working behind the counter or a person who seemed too busy to help you. Gary was an absolute professional, he has knowledge and was super helpful in our transaction. Was suggested to allocate some assets to precious metals and was looking to get some American Silver Eagles. I've seen anywhere from $4.50-$9 over spot from the several local coin shops I went to. Gary's prices are the best bar none. I've purchased a large quantity online via Provident Metals, APMEX, and SD Bullion. They all okay pricing if you bought enough and took almost a month to get here. As of the time of my purchase, Gary had the best prices even beating out the big online distributors. I wish I've just bought from him earlier. He's now my official coin guy. Everything was in excellent condition as promised. He even brought down an expensive scanning tool to verify the authenticity of the coins. He also has a wide selection of other precious metal items that I'm looking to acquire later but you do have to let him know what you're looking for specifically. Overall an excellent experience with awesome pricing. I was hesitant in the beginning being that he doesn't actually have a brick and mortar store but I guess that saves on overhead cost which translates to better pricing. And that's alright with me!! Be patient with his response time as he is a busy guy. read more

ABC GT Coins - Excellent condition as promised - Antiques Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

If you're like me and don't have a knack for the numismatic, selling a coin collection can be a daunting task. Sure I can tell you that a buffalo nickel is older than a normal nickel, but if you tried to tell me that a 2012 U.S. Proof set was worth more than one from forty years prior I'd tell you that you're crazy. But guess what, it is and I never would have known that if I hadn't met Gary. Gary met me at my condo. He was prompt and courteous and looked slightly shocked when he saw the large bin of coins I was toting. While the conversation naturally started discussing coins, we eventually talked about Hawaii real estate, our days of sports glory past, and the importance of encouraging your kids to believe in themselves. By the end, 90 minutes had elapsed. Coins were sorted. Notes were scribbled. And I was given a offer I couldn't refuse. In all honesty I didn't know what to expect as far as an offer but I felt it was fair. No haggling necessary. I was paid in crisp paper money and when we parted ways I was probably more content with the good conversation than anything else. Although the cash in my pocket was pretty good too. read more

Gary is a very experienced honest professional in both coins and real estate. His pricing is competitive as well! Its not easy finding someone trustful in the coin industry. I can guarantee we will be surely doing business again. Once again thank you very much Gary! read more

I have never met a person like Gary before. He is like a walking Wikipedia or stock exchange market for precious metals / coins and also real estate market. Gary had helped me with my investment. Because of that, I made enough money to pay off my grad school college tuition. He had provided me with the right information and answered all my questions with accurate numbers to back up. From that, I made my decision and made enough profit to pay for my grad school tuition. I sometimes wonder how he keeps all those stats in his head. Seriously, amazing. read more

Good experience. Gary was knowledgeable, easy to talk to and gave great advice as a first time buyer just getting into coins and bullion. He brought his hand held machine showing the purity of the coins he sold me. All and all good experience. Recommended! read more

I use Yelp all the time, but I don't leave many reviews, which is silly since I count on these reviews to make my decisions for restaurants, services, etc. So, when I met with Gary and had one of the most positive experiences I have had in a while, I knew I had to write a review, and I promised him I would, too. Gary doesn't have an office or shop, which is probably why he's able to offer the best prices, bar none, for coins. We met in the parking lot near Teddy's. He sat in my car and we counted coins and chatted. Super friendly, professional, and all around great guy - which sadly seems to be getting rarer and rarer these days. We talked coins, real estate (he's also a broker), and growing up in Hawaii. In the end, I left feeling I got very fair prices for my coins, a nice wad of green in my wallet, and knowing there are still good, honest, friendly people in the world. I would sell more coins to Gary if I had them, and I would buy/sell a home with him too! 5+ STARS read more

My dad asked me to sell all of his old coins for him, and Gary was the first person I called after briefly researching who would be the best person to sell the coins to. The reviews I read about Gary were spot on. His very approachable personality along with his extensive knowledge was more than I could have hoped for and made the whole experience super easy and comfortable. He is extremely fair and also pays the most for your coins! read more

When my Dad passed, he left me a bunch of coins and notes that I did not know how much they were worth. I'm the only child and I don't have children of my own to pass it on to. So, how do I go about selling it? I met Gary at the recent coin show held at the Hawaii Convention Center. He was very easy to talk to and suggested I email him with photos of what I had. Within a week after the coin show, we scheduled a day to meet. He never pressured me and he offered me a price for each section of box after boxes we went through. Unfortunately, there were no coins that would make me a millionaire. However, I was very pleased with the fair offer Gary gave me. There were a few coins that I could not part with because of the hard work my Dad put into his collection and I wanted to keep a few to remember my Dad. But, again... I'm the only child and I don't have children of my own to pass it on to. So, I did let Gary know that I may be calling him again once I come to a point that I need to let go and let someone else enjoy and carry on the legacy of collecting rare coins and notes. I can't take it with me. read more

I contacted Gary after reading multiple five-star reviews. Gary is a honest and reputable person that should get 10 stars! Gary took the time and came out to appraise the coins he and I had discussed over the phone. He was very knowledgeable as we went over the coins. His extensive knowledge just made everything easier and less complicated in its entirety. He was up front and to the point. I would highly recommend him and definitely use him again in the future, if needed. Also, should you be in need of a realtor, please contact him! read more

I got to meet Gary very friendly and helpful with the coins that I received in an estate. He bought them at a great price.

My second time dealing with Gary. Very honest, no pressure. Very satisfied both times. He had me add up figures he had on weights and after giving me a check, said he'd recheck to let me know if he calculated weights properly. I told him the price my wife got for our silver and he straightforwardly gave me a price almost 15% higher. Could've come in lower once I told him previous quote, but didn't. Can't buy honesty. Highly recommend read more

Gary came to our residence and provided us with a very informative and honest assessment of our coin collection. He also provided us with valuable real estate information gained from his 40+ years selling real estate. He amazed us with his knowledge of various condos and residential areas, to include sales price ranges over several decades. We felt very comfortable with his demeanor and candor, and we enjoyed the time spent with him. We would very highly recommend Gary to anyone needing assistance with coins and/or real estate. read more

Now I know exactly where to go for my precious metals and real estate needs. Thanks Gary!!! read more

Very pleased with ABC GT Coins. Recently sold coin and silver collection to Gary who came to my residence. I choose his company based on yelp reviews and didn't feel like visiting other coin/silver buying companies on the island who probably had a higher overhead, etc. read more

Gary is very great person and very trustworthy if you ever need to sell your coin collection. He will take the time to explain the worth of your items and will give you a very reasonable price ( top dollar) which is a lot better than some other dealers. He doesn't rush or pressure you.

WOW, there is NOT anyone in Hawaii that's going to give you a better deal than Gary at ABC GT Coins. He's truly a MASTER of his craft! He's professional, he's sincere, he's kind, he's patient, and he gives you bonafide top dollar for your coins in accordance with current gold prices. I did lots and lots of research on the internet and went to a couple of places and called a couple of places - most of them only offered the lowest price well below the the current day's gold prices. Thank goodness I found Gary's website! My advice to anyone out there who wants to sell their gold or silver coins - please, please, take them to a reputable coin collector who's been in business for a while. Example: when you want to haul wood don't let someone sell you a Cadillac - go out and buy a Truck! Many of the folks out there are trying to buy your stuff cheap & don't know a bloody thing about coins as it's not their profession. So I say again if you want the best deal in town go see Gary at ABC GT Coins. He can meet up with you any place you like. Visit his website and you'll see how qualified he is with the massive credentials that he shows on his website. And he's also a realtor and broker & has been in business for decades. He's from a generation where Integrity and Honesty come before greed. Gary, you are like those precious gold coins - A RARITY & EXTREMELY PRICELESS !!! Thanks for helping me and one of my girlfriends with our coins. I wish I could give you 10 Stars instead of 5 but that's all they allowed. read more

My highest of recommendations to Gary, he is absolutely 5 STARS!!! You can't find someone better to do a precious metals transaction with, he is a considerate and honest professional that cares about his customers.
