The absolute best place to take your coin and jewelry! I was a bit nervous going by myself to a place I'd never been with my old coin and jewelry but this place was very secure. The whole experience was above and beyond my expectations. I was very happy with the amount I received for my shoebox full of "treasures " that had been sitting in a box in my closet for years. Thank you Owen! read more

Had a great experience with Owen! Keep in mind they are BY APPOINTMENT ONLY so be sure to call! Buys for a great price, I wish I knew of him sooner when I was getting rid of some other pieces. I came from downtown and it was well worth the drive. read more

Cal Coin and Jewelry - Gold Buyers Near Me - La Mesa, California

See all

Best pay (percent) for jewelry by far then anyone in San Diego, smooth and fast transaction.

Owen carefully evaluated the pieces I brought, told me which were valuable and which were not. He gave me fair prices for what I sold, and answered all my questions. He also has a lot of just cool things in his office, which I always appreciate, and he was very nice to give me the stories on them. Highly recommend!! read more

Called Cal Coin and Jewelry in early afternoon to make an appointment for later afternoon. DONE. When I arrived, I was warmly greeted and was very comfortable in speaking to Owen while he appraised the item. Owen was upfront to offer me an HONEST price that I was very happy with. I say this because I had been to two previous appraisers who offered half as much as Owen!!! I appreciate that Owen went above and beyond with genuine great service and provided a very fair price for the item. HIGHLY recommend. read more

* They are by appointment only* This is the best place to sell your Gold & Silver in southern California. Owen is an amazing man full of integrity. I called over a dozen places before I sold my silver and he beat them all by a long shot. He also has silver & gold bullion for sale. He has earned all his 5 star reviews, I will be returning soon. read more

I called around to a few places and got the best price here. Super friendly and accomodating. Great experience.

My 2nd time selling gold jewelry here and it never disappoints! Out of all the gold buyers, bullion dealers, and jewelry shops I called from San Diego to Los Angeles, I was offered the most money here. I could have perhaps gotten more from a peer to peer sale, but the quick and easy process of getting paid on the spot via Zelle here is worth it to me. I will continue to do business here! read more

This shop is tucked in the corner of a parking lot. It is secured with cameras and an appointment only policy. Owen is quick and offers advice on pieces other than obvious metals, which I've brought. He adheres to the spot price on metals and will give you the break down. Metals seemingly are monitored and updated by the second (I believe I read that somewhere). He's been doing it for a while, family biz. I recommend because the process is fast so long as you have made the appointment, you're in and out. read more

I came in to get a quote on a large set of sterling silver flatware. Owen was a straight shooter. He weighed the sample pieces that I brought and offered me a very good price. I liked the fact that he was the owner and not an employee of a larger company. I brought in the entire set the next day and we concluded the sale. Owen offered me a much higher price than a well-known jewelry store. I would definitely do business with Cal Coin & Jewelry again! read more

I'm so happy on my 2nd time coming back here after more than a year, this time with a friend who will also be able to sell jewelries. Owen is easy to talk to, approachable, an honest person, and professional. I tried other buyers before, but he gives a better price for my jewelries. I will recommend him 100% to others who want to sell their jewelries, and you will not regret it. Thank you Owen and looking forward for more transactions. read more

Thank you Owen for the feedback regarding my coin collection and gold jewelry I brought in for appraisal. I recommend your business for anyone looking to buy/sell precious metals, coins, jewelry etc.. honest feedback and prices! Will definitely be back for more business. read more

I went into this shop earlier this week to get some coins authenticated. Owen was knowledgeable and took his time explaining and answering questions. Thank you, Owen, for your kindness and time! read more

had some silver to sell and saw Cal Coin on Yelp with good reviews. They sure lived up to their reputation. We didn't know a reserv was needed, but Owen took care of us anyway. Really q and easy service. He was very polite and professional. I would high recommend. And I will definitely be taking my business to him! Ten Stars read more

Guy lied to me about what gold I had and completely underpaid me. Was my first time selling gold and was too stupid to know better. Went to a TRUSTWORTHY gold buyer and showed them what I sold him and said I could've gotten a few hundred if not an extra thousand more. And didn't get a receipt probably because he knew he was doing dirty business read more

Easy transaction. Gave me spot for my gold bullion. I would easily do business with again in the future. read more

Good experience this week on my first visit, and I will be returning. Owen got right to work assessing the family silver and offered me the best price I had encountered to date. He was cordial and even gracious about the shards of bubble wrap that tumbled onto his carpet when I unpacked the tea set. I guess that will make me memorable:) Thanks, Owen! read more

Easy transaction. No funny business: The owner strikes me as a man of integrity a fair and honest businessman. Good prices. I felt safevand secure there. I recommend making an appointment so you won't have to wait as he may be helping other customers. read more

I made an appointment to sell a Krugerrand 1 oz coin that I had for many years. I looked up the current gold price for that day. I was offered a very fair price for the coin that was only a small discount to the current spot price for gold. Cal Coin is a very honest and ethical place. I highly recommend. read more

Easy, friendly and everyone can use a little extra jingle in their pocket. I felt comfortable and not ripped off

Great dealer -- very reliable and professional. This was my first time buying silver with them, and the experience was smooth from start to finish. They were patient, knowledgeable, and great at answering all my questions without any pressure. Pricing was fair and everything was clearly explained. I'll definitely be coming back and would recommend them to anyone, especially first-time buyers. read more

I highly recommend this business. I have dealt with Owen, he is honest, cooperative, and patient throughout the selling/ buying process.

Was looking to sell some jewelry and Cal Coin and Jewelry came up because of their positive reviews and I can't agree any more with how great this place is. Owen is a great guy and he's very honest about his prices. Great hospitality and service in and out of there within 15 minutes. Would totally recommend to anyone looking to seek jewelry or any coins. It's kinda hidden in the corner of this plaza but not too difficult to find. read more

We were thrilled with the service, professionalism and results. We highly recommend Cal Coin and Jewelry.

Owen was very straight forward, knowledgeable and the process was seamless. Highly recommend!

Great experience in selling and buying. Would definitely visit Cal Coin again. Friendly and knowledgeable.

I had an amazing experience at Cal, coin and jewelry. My daughter is graduating from the University of Notre Dame in May and all of her friends are getting class rings. Even the 10 karat gold ring we got her was almost $1000. She worked hard, so we were willing to do it, but this was going to be a lot of money for my husband and myself. I remembered a bracelet my mother left me, and I thought she would be tickled pink if we used her bracelet to offset the cost of the ring. We got to Cal coin and jewelry, but we found out it was appointment only. We knocked on the door anyway, and Owen was able to help us. He gave us a fabulous price on my mothers bracelet, which I felt was more than fair. It was a great transaction, and I was so happy when I walked out the door. I highly recommend Cal coin and jewelry. I went to Cal coin and jewelry because the reviews were excellent all five stars. Now I see why the reviews were so great thank you Owen for making our experience so great. read more

Have been going to Cal Coin for a few months, and have had a great experience each time. Owen is extremely knowledgeable, and the service is always personable and professional, in a safe and comfortable environment. Prices are the best I've found recently in San Diego. Appointments are recommended. 5 star experience! read more

Owen is the best! I don't call around for quotes anymore because he's always the best offer.

I got an offer to buy my coin online that seemed like a really good deal, but I didn't want to send it in so I decided to check this place out in La Mesa and it turns out he offered more for it and then a lot easier for payment. read more

So glad to finally find a place where you can bring your used or unwanted jewelry to sell or get an honest opinion of their value. Owen was very straightforward and knowledgeable about the stuff that he would buy and what he was willing to pay. They also deal with gold, diamonds, silver, coins, watches, etc. The store is located in a little plaza. It took us a while to locate but very secure and safe. read more

Owen was awesome. Friendly greeting, no nonsense, told me what gold was worth, fair and honest pricing, and we concluded our transaction quickly. I would highly recommend. read more

Hey Owen, thanks again super knowledgeable. Nice to catch up with you even if it was just for a little while glad fatherhood is treating you well anybody who wants the best price on gold scrap come see Owen thanks again. read more

I've been to Cal Coin twice and both times have been excellent. I've visited other sellers in the past and left with cold experiences. I truthfully did not have the highest of hopes, but followed the high reviews. Happy to say the reviews were right! I literally have little to zero knowledge of the things I bring in as they have been mostly gifted trinkets. I appreciate that the environment does not feel awkward and the information exchanged is honest. I also appreciate that I have been walked through the entire process, which I have found interesting and assuring. For both visits I have not expected much but have been pleasantly surprised and satisfied! read more

Great experience selling gold and silver here. Quick, easy, fair and honest. Recommend you make an appointment.

Owen was really helpful and answered every question I had. I knew little to nothing about buying or purchasing metals and he laid out the basics in a very digestible way. Every time I've gone he's always had options for products to purchase. It's also really easy to make appointments with him. read more

Super honest and nice man. I highly recommend this shop for selling coins, gold or silver!!

Called Owen today about some coins I was looking to sell, he was very friendly and quoted a fair price over the phone - Owen was very helpful and the transaction was quick and easy. save yourself some time and headaches and call this Gentleman first. read more
