An excellent location for gold, silver and rare coins! The owner, Brenden, and his amazing staff…read more(Sarah) and their store mascot (Bam Bam the Bulldog) are incredible. They're personable, friendly and welcoming. Brenden will take the time to tell you about the coins and quote very reasonable prices. The Coin Market collection is consistently better than other nearby local coin shops. Sarah is awesome and very knowledgeable on coins and proof sets. We love coming here and conversing + seeing the amazing BamBam (a very friendly bulldog who greets you shortly after your arrival). Been to a lot of coin shops and this one is by far my #1. Location is near a couple of nice restaurants too. Keep it up!

They sold me $5.00 gold American Eagles @ $60.00 lower cost than my online Texas dealer. My…read morebrother will never forgive me. He keeps offering to buy mine, after he bought from our Texas dealer, paid a fee to use his credit card for advance payment and was billed for shipping and insurance. His purchase cost him over $3,000.00 more than the exact same purchase I made locally, and he waited weeks for his delivery. He can afford it, but he never bought from his dealer again. I do feel their pain with the new 10% sales tax in WA, so I will try to sell some of my holdings back to them @ reasonable profit margins. They are good people to deal with, at least in my experience. They have earned my support.

Great service! Looked at all I brought in and were professional and fair!! I would easily return…read more thank you.

The owners and employees at this shop are very kind, very polite and are very considerate when it…read morecomes to their customers wants and needs. However, there was a very dark side at this store. Which is why it is difficult to write this. Skagit coin from the inside looks to be 75% jewelry and gems and 25% coin. I arrived there interested in coins I had over a decade of experience with. My specialty is not grading coins specifically, but finding coins which show signs of artificial toning, cleaning or being tampered with. During my first visit I had noticed something that was off; there was a large percentage of raw coins being sold at Mint State prices while still showing clear signs of being cleaned/tampered with. I pointed out a single one to the owner. She was nice about it and removed it from the case. However then I noticed it another and another. My grading abilities were questioned, kindly. I pointed out the areas and it seemed that was that. I decided that day to stick mainly with toned coins. However what struck me as off was that all the toners I had purchased contained the same type of toning. For those of you new to this hobby - identical toning is not normal. On top of that the color spectrum was not normal either. There ARE loads of times where I will see legit tones for the first time so I figured this could be a circumstance such as that. On top of that the owner insisted her son had loads of experience grading raw coins and was near professional doing so. So I made the biggest mistake I could at the time, trusted her and paid. I submitted the toners to be slabbed and relatively soon after, maybe a few weeks later, received word that I had wasted $25 on each of them and that they were artificial toning. I was right. The coins were wrong. Skagit Coin and the owner there was very understanding and was willing to offer me store credit or refund for what I paid for the coins once I surrendered the artificial toning/cleaned slabs. They did follow through with that as well. I decided to exchange them for mint state instead. However this is where the plot unfortunately thickens even more. A mint state coin I had taken home was clearly tampered with. To the point where you only needed a good light to see it with an unaided eye. I returned once again for the owner to once again be understanding and offer a store credit, this time saying something along the lines of 'lets not make this a routine.' When the owner inspected the coin that had obvious signs of cleaning she went on to remind me that her son was very good at grading and even close to professional. This made me feel as though I was being accused of taking the coin home and cleaning it myself! Wasn't the case. Have never done so in my life. Knowing there were many others in her case marked as MS that were cleaned as well - I offered to point them out to her one by one. I am talking coins with obvious marks. Some you don't need a lens for. Her response was: "No. Just cover your credit. Don't point them out for me." I was quite surprised. However I did what I was told. Found a non-cleaned coin as fast as I could and realized I probably would not be returning. These are nice people. Understanding people to a point. However in the world of coins - you're either selling actual MS coins with honest intentions or you're not. I really wish that I could have better things to say. After losing this place, I now have to travel well over an hour for a good LCS. Especially after this place takes the obvious L.
