They cheat on price and fees. Unlike other coin shops, they always have a large inventory of coins. It was convenient. Be careful!!!

Super friendly, VERY knowledgeable. I had a lot of coins and honestly didn't think many of them were worth much. I was wrong. These guys gave me a very fair price on everything. I couldn't be more pleased! And they're just so darn nice, too! read more

In the 1960's and '70's our nation was shaken to it's foundations. Look it up. A schoolmate's father taught me about inflation. Paper money losing buying power. One day I took my vast $300 military pay fortune to an Oakland, CA coin shop, buying 100 silver dollars. Prior to 1965 our nation's currency was backed by gold and silver. At a recent conference expert economic psychology specialist, Robert Prechter said gold holds it's value though it never explodes spectacularly in value as promised by the "Gold Bugs" since 1971. My original 100 silver dollars are in other family hands. I ran the 740% inflation since 1971 against the price I paid then versus the cost of silver now. My 1971 buying power is intact. I shop here now and again for coins and silver. They can be fine art. I am no rich guy, I'm just a low-level occasional collector - if I can afford it. I like post cards. Images recording things that will never exist again. I also play nostalgia, with lifetime memories. C&C sells postcards. Plus all kinds of other interesting things. If you like thrift store shopping like I do, this can be a fun, value-laden stop read more

Kind and professional service from Dennis! I believe I was treated fairly and received a fair price for my goods. Thank you

My daughter and I had a large number of silver dollars, silver dimes, silver half dollars and other coins dating back to 1882. When we looked up the value/condition of the coins, we were able to peg the value for each since all had been in circulation. We used an app called CoinSnap, which scans both sides of the coin, identifies it and assesses its condition against current value ranges. For example, the 1882 Morgan Dollar was rated F-12 (Fair-12), as all detail was readable but it was obviously not in terrific condition. The range value for Morgan Silver Dollars from that era was $36-79; CoinSnap assigned $40 to our Morgan. We did that on each coin in the pile. None were "strike it rich" types of coins, but a few were assessed at "almost uncirculated condition" with values over $100. Even the Eisenhower dollars and Kennedy half dollars (most were nickel wrapped copper) from various years were valued at $4-8 apiece. We knew selling coins needs to have a win for the buyer so we devalued our cache (pun intended) by 30%. We took several coins with we knew might only be worth face value. All in all, the conservative dollar value of our little collection was in the range of $700. We were not prepared for what awaited us at C&C. We selected C&C based on Yelp and Google reviews. I had grown up with a father who was an avid coin and stamp collector. He had me help him with his collections regularly. I cataloged new acquisitions and sales. I learned a lot about what to look for, proofs and uncirculated coins, error coins, mints, etc. When we walked into the store, the cases in the front were full of coins and other collectibles. I'm sure we looked like rubes from the hills somewhere because these coins were inherited from my in-laws, and collecting age and dust in a cash box since they passed. We had sorted them into plastic bags so it was easier to see the silver from the more recent nickel-wrapped copper coins. The first thing the person who greeted us did was to dump all our coins into a pile on his counter and started talking about the price of silver and that the Eisenhower and Kennedy coins were only worth their face value. Etc etc etc. Perhaps this is common practice now but it was more similar to a pawn shop approach to collectible coin trading than it was to the last place I had been with some of my dad's coins after he passed away in 1978. That shop respectfully cross-referenced each coin, its condition, along with our written Inventory and gave us a fair price based on the collectible value of the coins minus a decent margin for the store. I asked the guy why wasn't he looking up the value of the coins against their condition. I showed him the app and how it had scanned in the coins. He said "that's nice but not how we do it here." He offered $150 for the silver, didn't give two whits about their age or condition, and offered to take the Eisenhower and Kennedy coins and give us paper bills for them. We also had a very interesting collection of paper currency from multiple countries that was signed by servicemen during WWII. When I researched this, I found they were highly collectible. My husband and his dad were both military, and I thought a shop that traded in collectible items should be interested in the historical value of the bills. He said he would take them "off our hands" for $30, because "the only people who would want them" would be WWII memorabilia collectors. Perhaps our experience was framed by my own naïveté, because it's been 45 years since I sold some of my dad's collection, and perhaps this shop is used to people wanting to get gold and silver cashed in so they can buy food, booze or drugs or pay the electric bill. That's common out here. However, how do they deal with stamps and other memorabilia? What do they do with the coins after buying them from us for minimal value? Assess their true value and resell them in the shop? I don't know but it's just a hunch. It was a wholesale disappointing experience and one that I would not recommend repeating. read more

C & C Coin & Stamps - Our Morgan silver dollar from 1882 as scanned in CoinSnap. - Gold Buyers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I went here to buy gold and maybe sell thousands of stamps my uncle pass on to us. They tried to get me into other metals instead of gold and said they'd give me 10 cents for the stamp collection. It says stamps on their business title but they don't want them. I try to find good local people to deal with when buying precious metals but these guys are the people you stay away from. They will rip you off any chance they get. They probably deal with lots of characters in that store and it shows. read more

Giving this business a 5-star rating is the easiest thing I had to do all week. For anyone who thinks customer service is a thing of the past and service sucks everywhere, C&C Coin and Stamps is the absolute exception to that. Everyone I dealt with at the shop was super friendly, super patient, and extremely professional. They were masters of their craft. I showed up to the shop like 10 minutes before they closed on a Tuesday. Stupid me thought they closed at 6 and here I come walking in the door at 4:50pm. Oops! They didn't turn me away though and instead went through a small portion of my large coin collection to get me some money and in about 10 min I walked out with several hundred dollars in my pocket. They were extremely happy to help me and encouraged me to go back to sell them the rest of my collection. On Wednesday I went back, this time about 3 hours before they closed, and they sat with me and went through my entire coin collection, which was huge. Along the way, they explained everything to me and were honest throughout the entire process. I can't stress enough how nice everyone was and happy to help me out. To give a little context, my grandpa gifted me his coin and stamp collection, which included a large amount of silver coins, commemorative coins, and some old paper bills. I stored the coin collection in a large green tub that weighed about 50-60 pounds and I'm so thankful for C&C as I don't have to lug this around anymore! I have been to other shops and have had terrible experiences so C&C was a breathe of fresh air. If you have coins to sell this is definitely the place. If you're in the market to purchase coins, they have an amazing collection. They also have other valuables and it's worth stopping in here. read more

These guys were wonderful and I believe I got a very fair deal from them. They know there stuff and were very friendly.

I have been dealing with C&C for over a decade now, as their business was the first to truly get me interested in coins and currency as a child. Since then I've also bought and sold with them exclusively for their fair prices and general demeanour. I noticed there are multiple negative reviews on Yelp about how unfair and rude these guys can be, and this surprises me. Many people may not understand how a business works, especially one dealing with securities and jewellery, but they need to make a profit on what you're selling them, so you will never get a full-value exchange price on your items. Don't come into C&C asking for valuations, they are not a valuation agency, like PCGS, so don't expect them to perform such a task. As for the guys who run C&C, they're wonderful people who will help you for anything you're looking for. However, it's a bit of a learning curve going to a place like this and not knowing what you're doing. Each deals with a particular area especially, though you'll be sorted depending on who's free if they're too busy. Remember that the vast majority of clientele in a store like this are men, older men, so don't be surprised if they crack what's now considered a politically incorrect joke every now and then. They don't intend to be rude, even if that's how you take it, they're just joking. Lastly, yes, the store is cluttered, to say the least, but that shouldn't be a deterrent to you doing business with them, as much of that clutter is valuable (well, maybe not the Hummel). read more

Excellent service and very wide selection at seemingly reasonable prices. The team really seems to know their stuff!! Pleasure talking to them! read more

Brad was very helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. There was no pressure and we received very fair prices for our US mint sets. We will be going back again with additional coins to sell, as well as inherited stamp collections. --Kara R read more

I've never received such disrespectful customer service in my life. I walked in at around 11 am last Friday. As I walked in, two old men from behind the counter looked me up and down, didn't welcome me, and there was only one customer in the store which made all of that even more rude. I came in with an assortment of stamps, postcards and coins from the 1920's and up. Being a novice to selling these items I was nervous and it would have been nice to been greeted but it appears those two men didn't want to show any sort of courtesy. So I laid my things on their counter top and let them know I was selling these items. The first guy grabs the coin box and literally doesn't even take any of the coins out, he just barks "no gold - no silver - don't want it" Ok...so not even going to see if I had any coins that were valued for their grade state or errors. As I turned to show them the stamps & postcards, the other man flips thru the stamp book so hurriedly that a few fell to the floor prompting me to ask him what the rush was? He then grabbed the stamps off the floor, didn't even open the envelopes of stamps from 1903 and 1915-1918. He goes - "na nothing good." I kid you not, he did not even spare one minute to review this stamp collection. I literally asked, "if all you want is gold - why not just be a pawn shop?" The attitude, tone, and overall experience was simply awful. They should be ashamed of how they treat people - these items were of importance to me and for them to just grab and rip thru them with such disrespect was impolite. I went to copper state coin (wayyyy better off Thunderbird and the 101) and they actually treated me with respect and they purchased over $200 worth of my coins! So this place can just remain a sad, trashy little pawn shop run by two old nasty creeps that have zero customer service skills and disgusting attitudes towards young women. read more

C and C is the best coin shop I've been to in Phoenix. I've been coming here since I was a teenager and absolutely love it.

First, I called to inquire information about my unique situation, "I would like to frame and hang a medal that's 1 and 1/2 inches in diameter. How do I go about doing this and what will I need?" I spoke with Michael and he told me exactly what I would need and right away, a "riker mount" and "an air tight holder - black rubber gasket" of which he immediately went to see if they had in store. He told me they did and held both pieces for me for whenever I could come in to pick them up. I left that day to pick the pieces up. The store was easy to find and the staff was friendly, communicated clearly with one another and therefore knew exactly who I was and what I needed, rang me up and I was out of there in 5 minutes tops. They even installed the two pieces for me in the store and now all I had to do was nail it to my wall! Amazing service. Clearly, they not only have the background knowledge, but supplies for even the coins/medals uncommon like mine. Fantastic establishment! I had tried calling other coin establishments but they had no idea how to go about it. In addition, hobby stores and arts & crafts stores did not know either (like Michael's, Joann's, Hobby Lobby, Hobby Bench, all of which I went to). Also, I paid $5 for the riker mount and $2 for the rubber gasket, amazing! Incredibly affordable. All the shadow boxes at the craft and hobby stores were $10+ read more

I brought an old albums of stamps and also coins that my husband who passed eight months ago left me. I do not know the value of that but I went there to find out. The Gentleman who attended me it was very cold . He said " my accent it was very strong but he has a girlfriend from Chiapas ( Guatemala) who speaks perfect English "what ...? I passed that, since he offered me less than 10us for my treasures I said that I prefer to keep them to my husband Grand kids maybe they wanted. Whoever , I said since I am here I may see an small diamond earrings as I lost one that my husband gave me. I liked one pair of the gentleman showed me and I said well my budget is 500us maybe next time, I thank him. He looked me with a sarcastic smile saying " my budget is 10.000 more than yours !" Wow this gentleman ( if I can call him like that it was very rude ! You can have a bad day but if you work with People or in Customers ... you have to left your problems at home.

I stopped by with grandpa's silver & gold coins and silver bullion after visiting a couple other dealers. I had a 100+ silver coins & a couple gold for them to go through and sat down with Brad. He inspected each coin in turn, checking for rare dates & condition (unfortunately several had been polished, uggg, but my Gold Indian Heads had collectible value) and they offered the best price of all. Now, my husband is a collector so I went in basically knowing what I have & what it's worth is, but I played "stupid girl" and these guys were completely honest & explained everything (the others, not-so-much). While I sat, several folks came and went. All received a friendly greeting and the employees did a great job multi-tasking in order to help everyone. If you find yourself with old coins and are wondering if they have value beyond the metal content, be sure to visit C&C Coin and Stamp, you'll be glad you did! read more

I went to there shop once and had a good enough experience. I spent a god amount of money. I went in later to find they were closed for a month. I understand inventory for a shop like that can be tedious, but a month? So I go again yesterday and the gentleman helping me was more than helpful and just all around a cool dude but the guy sitting down the entire time was in a pissy mood and it made my experience less than hoped. I spent over 2 hundred I believe and then tried to buy a chain and the pissy chair sitter wouldn't work with me at all. I was looking forward to their reopen but will now seek out other places to spend my money. And just so they know I'm not anonymously bad mouthing them, I'm the guy that bought the 4oz 100$ bill, half a dozen rounds and the 4oz liberty eagle. I have 1 star for the man that helped me.rock on man! read more

Excellent advice, great service, pricing integrity. Had a collection of gold an silver coins with no real way to determine their value. Checked with several dealers. Others gave great prices but this was before their steep commissions. C&C gave us the fair market price promptly, divulged their much lower commission up front, and then recommended we wait a few months for metals prices to rebound. Sold the coins to C&C for over 5% more than competitor dealers and brokers quoted. Largest commission and lowest net prices were the radio advertisers. C&C works on reputation and referrals, both stellar. Gave us a check on the spot. Highly recommend C&C for their ethical, straight forward approach! read more

I've been doing my silver buying online. Everyone tells me to buy local if I can so today I went on a search and visited 2 dealers. I first went to C&C. I walked in one staff person was chatting with a customer. The other was in back part doing something so I waited. After a few minutes he asked me if I needed help and I asked him about a coin I had gotten in change and asked if he could grade and tell me what it was worth. He handed it to the other staff person talking to the other customer who looked at it and said it's in very good condition but that the coin had been cleaned so that devalued the coin and handed it back to the person waiting on me who handed it back to me..end conversation. I still don't know what the coin is worth. The person waiting on me asked the other one about some mail packages let unopened and proceeded to open one and discuss the contents with the other. I asked about Silver Eagles, bought a few. He took my cash handed me the Eagles in a tube and went back to opening the packages. I started looking the case in front of me, he never came back so I proceeded to leave. I think I heard someone say "thanks for stopping in" or some such as the door closed on my out. The other shop I stopped at was a similar experience. I'll post a review later on that one. I mostly wasted my time and gas today. I'm going to try elsewhere to check on the coin I have and I'm going back Online to buy silver. It's a couple buck an ounce cheaper with free shipping and I'll save my time and gas driving around town. I like buying local but not like this. Lesson learned. read more

This business is dishonest. I purposefully took in a group of wheat pennies that had low mintage and are sought after coins. I was told that none of them were worth more than 25 or 50 cents. That's when I left. read more

I just moved to the Valley as a retiree and wanted to sell a high five figure amount of gold & silver proof sets. I've collected coins since I was 8 years old and had a pretty good idea of what the market would be for this particular collection. After a quick phone call to C&C to determine their level of interest, I was invited to the shop to let them examine my coins and price them out. We set up a time and day that was mutually acceptable. The shop was closed on this day of the week to allow staff to work up their inventory and other duties, so we had complete privacy during the transaction I dealt mostly with one of the owners, Ken Moon. Ken was very open about pricing and grading and we had a pleasant morning discussing a broad range of topics, some of which was actually about the value of the collection I was wanting to sell. Subject to examining the sets, Ken made me an offer that I felt was more than fair, and we closed the deal on a handshake. They examined the items, confirmed grading, and there was no backtracking on price. He cut me a check and the transaction was concluded. Simple as that. To be honest, when I walked into the shop, I expected the usual "beat down" on price that dealers usually try to get the price down. That didn't happen. Ken showed me the spot prices, made adjustments for the numismatic value, and quoted me an offering price. It was fair and there was no haggling. I highly recommend C&C Coin and Stamp. I don't usually bother to write up these kind of reviews. But due to the high level of professionalism and unexpected transparency of the process, I wanted others to know they can deal with these guys in confidence. Doug L 11-19-15 read more

Don't have a single problem with this place. From my first time going all the way to my most recent time, I've always experienced the best service. They're very knowledgeable and always willing to teach their customers more about their business or share their own opinions. They are very patient and very friendly as well. Now their selection is very big compared to many of the other gold bullion and stamp places around phoenix or probably in all of AZ. I recently moved here from CA, and have went to many gold bullion and stamp stores, and this is by far the one with the biggest selection. They won't have EVERY single size and country that makes gold coins, but they do have their share of interesting things. They don' jUST have gold, they have a LOT of silver as well, a big selection of notes, old US coins, and coin supplies. Negative things others may say that shouldn't be a factor into a low rating. People who come here often are impatient and get mad that they don't get helped right away. Note that they are very attentive to Every single customer they come across and that some customers may have a lot of questions. Blame the customer who came before you, not the people who work there. Come on a day when you aren't in some rush. I come on days that I want to just relax and have nothing planned, that way I'm never in a rush when i come and heck, I may see things I haven't seen before in the store, or you may actually see something you like that others bring in. Another thing people may get mad about is getting turned down for having fakes. For example. If I was a gentleman who came in with 20 silver dollars and was told they are fake, I'd be pretty mad. But I would not express my anger towards the person who told me they are fake. It is NOT their fault, nor did they sell you those fake silver dollars. DO your own research people. It ISN'T that hard to get into this stuff. I'll be honest. I'm guilty of being someone who used to think coin collecting or gold and silver was for weird and nerdy people because I used to think this stuff was complicated. But in the end I became one of them. This is probably the easiest thing to understand and learn about, and of the smartest things you can do for security and insurance reasons(unless ur a numismatist) This place overall is a great place to Not only sell gold n silver but to bring in rare collectable items. Both selling and buying is important to them. Have a good day everyone. read more

C & C is awesome. Upfront, friendly and fast. These guys are the Pawn Stars of AZ and they should have their own show! read more

I would highly recommend C & C Coin & Stamp. I have been trying to understand the value of my coins, and this was the ONLY place that was candid and true. Ken explained that some of my coins were more valuable than either face value or weight value (ie. Silver dimes and quarters. I was told by others that the weight was truly the only value. So, if you have some old coins laying around, and can sell them for the current price of gold or silver, DONT DO IT, until you speak to these guys first. And note, no shop will do it for "free". And if they do? You just got ripped because that shop knows that the coin was more valuable than the weight. But, I have learned that the % that most shops will deduct is 3%-5% This place? A flat 2% is all it will cost for the cash. And depending how much you have? It could be as low as 1/2%!! Please feel free to comment on your experience. Mine was great! Lastly? They are open on Saturday too!!! 99% of the other coin shops are closed. read more
