The nicest people run this business. I have taken coins and jewelry to sell there. they always give me a fair price and are very pleasant to deal with. Highly recommend this business. read more

I called this shop to ask if they are buying silver coins. The person I poke to said yes and confirmed they buy at $2.00 below spot price. I drove over and he took a look at my minted rounds and offered more than $3.00 below spot price. When I reminded him of our call less than an hour earlier he quickly became rude and a bit nasty. It must be a tough way to make a living to mislead potential customers only to get called out for it. read more

I rarely jump on Yelp to rate anything but here we go. I understand that there is a high value market right now in precious metals, but to be laughed at on a phone call for asking a simple question about spot price earned you a one star. This is a potential customer's got $20,000 in cash ready to convert a coin and you laughed at me. I had made the same call to another business, asked the same question and was kindly provided options along with pricing. Be better. Bravo taking my business elsewhere. read more

I bought four brown silver Eisenhower dollars in slabs only to find out 3 months later from another coin shop that the slabs have been tampered with and glued back and when I called the store the guy Riley acted like I was lying and started yelling on the phone at me. Stay away from this place and here are the pictures Riley you are a piece of trash for selling products like this and then harassing your customers when it is brought to your attention two thumbs down. read more

California Numismatic Funding - Gold Buyers Near Me - Vista, California

See all

They are straight forward and above all honest with fair pricing if you are buying or selling.

What a great coin store. Purchased $2,000.00 worth of silver recently so I could meet the tax free status here in California. Got a cool canvas money bag to carry my new bullion with me. Was there today and purchased a PCGS graded MS-64, 1896 Morgan Silver dollar. Got a great price on it. Riley seems like a knowledgeable & likable guy. Store is super clean with lots of gold and silver for the eyes to enjoy. read more

This place will scam you. They offered 300 for a coin worth $1300, and my 1914 indian 2 1/2 dollar GOLD coin they offered 200 for, despite trending sale price on Ebay of $1000-2500. If they get even a whiff that you aren't a numismatic savant, they will take advantage of your ignorance/desperation. To do so during the COVID pandemic when people are hurting is sickening. They have no heart, it's all about hustling poor fools who haven't done 100 hours of research and familiarized themselves with the ins and outs of antique american currency. Do not TOUCH THIS BUSINESS. THEY LIE, CHEAT, AND STEAL. read more

California Numismatic Funding - This coins trending price on Ebay is ~$1000. They offered 300. If they get think ur not a numismatic savant, they will scam you and lowball. - Gold Buyers Near Me - Vista, California

I used their services in 2008 selling silver and gold coins as well as some pieces of jewelry to buy my first car. I just learned that they do buy sterling flatware and have recommended them to a friend and neighbor. When I have the need, I will use them again. They are very knowledgeable and, most importantly, they were very fair with me. They not only buy but they have nice items for sale also. Christina F. read more

The best most honest people. I really enjoy going in to buy coins and jewelry. I am going back today to see what else to get. Thank You Linda B read more

Very helpful & knowledgeable. I highly recommend them & have been doing business with them since 1993. Good selection of some higher end coins & bullion displayed in showcases, but most coins are in back so just ask if you don't see what you're looking for & they will pull out trays of coins from you. read more

California Numismatic Funding - Gold Buyers Near Me - Vista, California

The folks at California Numismatic are great. Honest, accurate and pay better than any other coin shop in San Diego County. Rich and Riley have bought many coins from my collection over the years, and they've sold me several as well. They provide great guidance for investment, as well as knowledge on things to look for in coins. They are awesome! read more

I have dealt with this company for many years and have never had an issue. They are honest and offer some of the best prices for gold, silver, and platinum. I would not hesitate to recommend them. When purchasing precious metals, one needs to be very cautious. This is one of the only dealers I trust. Jack read more

Richard was very personable and easy to work with. I was recommended to him by a good buddy of mine who has bought and sold coins from/to Richard/CNF over the years. Richard's honesty and transparency provided me with a very high level of comfort. With that, I highly recommend CNF. read more

I have been buying and selling through this professional family business for over 15 years. They are always friendly and courteous! Some walk in customers don't really understand the grading nor quality of coins and jewelry. I have always received the most reliable and professional exchanges! Thank you Richard and your entire family! read more

Went in the store to look at some pieces that I thought were silver. The old man over the counter took a look and toss them back in the bag. He was just rude. Made me feel unwelcome. Never coming back. read more

Great service and recommendations. Always have variety of coins to choose for collectors. Everyone is very knowledgeable.

These guys were incredible! Very friendly and prompt service. Took care of me in a matter of minutes. Also, after visiting Carlsbad Village Coins, California Numismatic Funding offered me literally twice what Carlsbad Village Coin offered me for the few items I was selling. if I do more business in coins, I won't go anywhere else. Thank you for the great service. read more

I was referred here by a friend. Not knowing anything about coins I inherited. The owner was quick and to the point. He is definitely knowledgeable and direct. read more

Terrible selection, very poor, unhelpful service. mostly wanted to complain how other companies made their job difficult.

Great place I went with old coins to sell and I got offered 2x what another place had offered me. I would highly recommend they also buy jewelry and old bills. The men who worked there treated me with respect and I enjoyed them explaining the value of my items. read more

I have been doing business here for years and they have never let me down. They really know what the business and are extremely honest, in all my years I had never found a place that didn't try to take advantage of me, not so here. They have found hard to find items for me, and guided on my collecting. Great place to buy and sell precious metals also! You can't go wrong here. read more

This is a wonderful family business. The staff are soo professional and courteous. They've been in Vista for a long time. Definitely recommend checking them out. read more

Came in here just to gander and see what the building was all about with my lady as we were passing on the way to the park and I was straight up impressed and glad I came in! The presence of the shop was nice and professional and one of the shopkeepers Riley really made me and my lady feel so welcome and even informed us on some of the rad pieces these guys have! With the help of Riley I found myself a super rad ring and really learned about rad relic coins, gems, and even precious medals! I'm no genius but I can tell these guys are, go check these guys out!! read more

Today was an amazing day thanks to two gentlemen at California Numismatic Funding! I brought in part of the coin collection of my late maternal grandmother. They were kind, and gave me a fair price. I felt good leaving the coins behind. read more

I've done business with these guys twice. Three generation family run business. My experience both occasions was excellent. Good, Fair, Prompt Service, and a few really good stories! If I had more coins, I would sell them here. Max Isbell read more

Place is a total rip off! Took in some coins that I had done research on & know there were a few coins that were worth $50-70. They tried offering a really low ball price, I thought this place was supposed to be honest...nope! Never ever again! read more

They have an awesome selection of quality pieces. Everyone I've dealt with there is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and honest. I'd recommend them to anyone. read more

Came in the other week, because i've been wanting to start collecting silver and was uncomfortable buying online. Came into the shop, plenty of parking in the rear of building. Friendly staff, they were able to answer all my question and concerns and gave me advice. Pricing was over spot, and depending on what you were looking to buy depended how much over spot you paid. Ended up buying 4- 1 oz generic silver coins that are .999 for around $92 i believe, when spot was $19.55. I think i paid little over $21 per coin. read more

I went in to sell some assorted silver pieces as well as two pairs of diamond studs. I was helped by a man named Larry and although he wasn't able to help me entirely by himself (he needed Richard the owner to weigh in on the diamonds), I felt comfortable with the experience. I still wanted to shop around some more at other jewelry-buying places so I told them I would probably be back the next day. I ended up getting a higher bid on one set of diamond studs from Famulare Jewelers in Carlsbad, but I wanted to sell my silver and the other diamonds to California Numismatic. I went in the next morning and spoke with another man (didn't catch his name). He was very friendly and helpful, but the moment I said I had gotten a bid from Richard about the diamonds, he said he needed Richard to confirm it. Okay that's fine - but a lady who works there (didn't catch her name either) was very rude and said Richard was in his office and not be disturbed by anyone. She had seen me the day before so she knew I was returning to do business with them. I explained that I was hoping to go to the bank that day because I was going out of town and wanted the money in the bank before I left. The man was apologetic but said there was nothing he could do and that I should try calling them later to see if Richard was available. I ended up just selling my silver to them and taking both pairs of diamonds elsewhere (where I got paid more money). It wouldn't have taken more than a few minutes for Richard to help me (especially because I had just been in there the day before) and I was extremely put off by how rude the woman was who works there. read more

Great insight and guidance about getting some of my coins graded or not graded and excellent customer service. I've been back twice and plan on seeing them again! read more

The best place to purchase metals in s.d. Richard has 30+ yrs exp & isn't going anywhere. Fair prices they sell Pcgs & ngc and always have inventory. Also are buyers of scrap gold/silver. honesty is hard to find these days you'll be treated well here read more

My mother just turned 70 and I wanted to get her gifts themed from the year of her birth, 1946. 1946 was the first year of the Roosevelt dime and I thought it would be neat to get her one from that year. I went in and explained what I was looking for, and that it didn't need to be anything fancy or rare. The gentleman that helped me was very kind and even gave me a discount after I explained why I was buying it. The shop was very organized, clean, and well taken care of. I don't know anything about coins or metals, but by the looks of the diversity in their goods, they have a lot to offer at all different price ranges. read more

I said the spread isn't as good as other places and so I wanted to update with where I like to go as my #1 choice. It is California Numismatic Investments. Yes almost the same name. Only problem is they are in Inglewood so unless I have a LARGE transaction I stay local. Remember it costs gasoline money to go to Inglewood. Just wanted to update that because it annoys me when people say I like other places better... well then tell me what other places so I can research!!! haha read more

I went to this place to buy some collector coins. The guy behind the counter said they were in the vault and to come back in a few days, because he was too busy. There was only one other person in the store! Nothing in the cases. He was a jerk and I will never come back. read more
