This business has been around for 45 long years and the owner Eddie is the fairest merchant and the greatest guy you will ever want to deal with in the coin business and selling your gold and silver he gives you respect and has so much knowledge in what he does not to mention always makes you feel like a friend and not just a customer! I would recommend Banner Gold to anyone and everyone over any other coin dealer out there because of his many years of experience fairness and the overall customer service with everyone who walks through his door to conduct business! And for those of you that do not know he does do currency exchange if you need it done or cannot get to the bank or airport and sells jewelry that is vintage and pieces that are truly unique.....You just have to stop through and see him on Smithfield street downtown Pittsburgh. You stay cool Eddie and thanks for the many times you have taken care of me...God Bless! read more

Banner Coin Exchange is an excellent choice when searching for information about gold and jewelry. We had stumbled into Eddie's shop with no idea what we were doing to exchange or sell old engagement rings. While Eddie did not deal with diamonds, he was kind enough to teach us what we needed to know. He knew where we needed to go and helped us find exactly what we needed. Eddie is a dream to work with and was honest and straight forward. I recommend Banner Coin Exchange for anyone looking to get rid of old jewlery or coins. If Eddie cannot make an exchange with you, he will do everything he can to make sure you get what you are looking for. Thanks Eddie! read more

Next to coins, that is Eddie's second passion. read more

This was our first time interacting with Eddie and it did not disappoint. He explained the current state of the silver market and how it impacted his offer, which was great to know. He was also very personable and offered plenty of stories while we worked through the process. If we have anything else to sell and/or buy, I would definitely go back. You walk away feeling like you have just met a new friend. read more
