my husband was a huge collector of Coins gold and silver. That was his thing, but he passed away two years ago and I had no experience with buying or selling precious metals. I called one place in town and they were OK but my husband never did business with them and the person that we always dealt with is cutting back and not really involved in buying or selling gold. I came to Yelp and I saw Carson Valley currency and the reviews were so good. I made a phone call and AJ answered the phone, he was so nice and helpful. When I asked him about the market and things like that, he gave me as much information as he could and I told him what I had and he advised me the best way to do it the best pieces to sell for the most amount of money. So I went over and AJ was there, I didn't get to meet his wife Ann but I heard that she was lovely. We chatted for a while. He wrote me a check and now I went. I feel very confident with him, he wants to do the best. He's not out to jam people, he gives you a good price and to tell you the truth he offered me more money than the other place. I had called, a significant amount of money. Without my husband to give me advice and handle it, I needed someone I could trust, someone that I had a good feeling about and AJ is that person. it's comforting to know that I have someone I can deal with, and I plan to do more business with him. read more

I am a mom of two young boys that recently started collecting coins. The first time we walked into the store, and every time since, AJ was and has been so welcoming. He and Ann spend time talking to the boys about the different coins and money, and they really share their knowledge with them. My boys were greatly inspired the first time we walked into Carson City Currency and Coins, and now every time we visit Carson city, we visit the shop almost every day we are in town. Both, Ann and AJ are great people and take the time to make us feel so welcomed, they talk with "Grampa" and listen to his stories. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and store with us. Also, my kids love to put dollars in the machine to get surprise coins. So fun to watch the kids smiles as they open up the containers. read more

What a pleasant experience! I was shopping for individual commemorative coins, so I was happy to see that they had them all in those nice rotating glass cases, so you can browse at them without having to ask for any assistance. However, when I was ready to actually look at the coins that I was previewing, it was very nice that one of the owners, Ann, came over to help and showed me all the coins that I was interested in seeing. After I made my selections, she promptly rang up my order, and since I was paying by credit, I acknowledged the 5% surcharge, which defrays the cost of the transaction. I am looking forward to my next visit! read more

Very thankful for the gracious service and care Anne and A.J. provide. Good people who care about others.

Great service. Very knowledgeable. AJ and Ann are wonderful. Best place to buy Silver and Gold

I guess I would rate my experience as fantastic. I came to sell a few items and ended up buying a few. The owner and his wife were personable, engaging, and knowledgeable. They gave me a fair price for what I was selling and it was a very pleasant experience. I'll be stopping by the next time I'm in the area. Reggie read more

My wife and I took her 90 year old mother into Carson Valley Currency and Coin to have her late husband's coins appraised . The owners AJ and Ann immediately helped us and explained each step of the process, all in a very straightforward manner and with a sense of humor, while sorting through hundreds of coins. .Some of the collection had value and some did not. AJ and Ann explained why the coins were or were not collectible or otherwise valuable. At no time did we feel like we were being pushed to sell, they made us an offer and explained the offer stood even if we had the coins appraised elsewhere. Thank you AJ and Ann for helping our mother sort out a small bit of her husband's cherished possessions. read more

AJ and Anne were awesome. They both took almost two hours of their time to help go through an entire pile of jewelry and coins with my wife and I. They explained what they were interested in and why, and they made a very fair cash offer, then cut us a check. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Easy to deal with. Would definitely go back to buy or sell in the future. Overall great experience. read more

I'm a huge history buff and love historic artifacts and coinage (especially British and early American era). I made a stop by his store this afternoon and was thoroughly impressed once again. I've been to dozens of coin shops throughout the United States and the UK. This is a very special place and the owner (AJ) is a huge reason why. I sold him some small gold bars this summer and got the best price out of anyone in the Reno/Carson City area. AJ is beyond knowledgeable as a historian and a really fun guy to talk to about any era of history. This is a must-stop place for me any time I'm in the area and am already looking forward to my next visit. Plus, the selection of merchandise is second-to-none and if this store doesn't have it, then no one does. I couldn't recommend this store enough! You won't be disappointed! read more

Great place to buy and sell precious metals. Fair prices. Friendly couple, always makes you feel welcomed.

If you are looking for friendly and knowledgeable help, this is your place! The owner AJ is willing to share his knowledge and insight so that you can make an informed and confident decision. It is nice to see a locally owned business run by someone who has the time and sincere interest in helping his customers. I have gone to other coin stores in the past, but not anymore! AJ has earned my business for years to come. read more

Went in and was greeted warmly by the owner. He explained what I had and what it was worth. A few of the items had no value and when I told him to just toss it, he insisted that I take it home to toss them as he didn't want me to think he was trying to pull a fast one. He gave me a price quote at no charge and said check around. I did check around and he was the best price and was the nicest. Great customer service as this guy really cares as I watched him work with other customers. read more

I have gone to AJ's store several times and have left happy every single time. I have become a regular customer there. AJ is very friendly and enjoyable to talk to. You can tell he is very passionate about what he does and cares about his customers. Not only that, but he has a very large selection of items in his store at very reasonable prices. He has everything from small cents to Morgan silver dollars. He even has quite a large selection of tokens, medals, and paper currency. I would highly recommend his store to anybody who has even a passing interest in coins and currency. You definitely will be happy that you went there. read more

Stoped by this hole in the wall placed and had questions about coins. I'm not a coin collector but AJ the owner was there and started to inform of everything that I needed to know. Was friendly even showed me some awesome history of carson city that involved the mint across the street. Was upfront with pricing and stated everything in the store is for sell. I walked away happy and yes with my new coin collection. If his USA flag is out side he is in the store. If there was an extra star I would give it to him. read more

I had some foreign currency and a variety of coins/paper I had no idea I was going to do with when I found this shop on-line. The other reviews are spot on. The owner was friendly, helpful and accommodating. He bought everything I brought in; the collector grade coins as well as the junk I had accumulated over the years. I found out while I was there that he also buys stamps. I will return. read more

Very friendly and honest service, I was able to get the best prices for my gold and silver here. Really recomended this place for anything to do with silver, gold and coins. read more

They both new me so well that it was easy to win a new fan in my wife. Ann & AJ are what make me so proud to live in our town. Thank you guys!!!! I recommend to all my friends stackers or collectors alike. read more

Amazing business! Exchanged currency that wasnt accepted anywhere else! Im very grateful for his help! I would highly recommend coming here for all your currency needs! read more

Yep, feeling comfortable in a coin store either requires an intense amount of knowledge or someone you can trust on the other side of the counter. A.J. fit the bill for someone my wife and I could trust with our hard earned coin. Enough said. read more

We had a great experience working with AJ. He was very knowledgeable and honest and loves what he does. Thank you!

I've done business with AJ regarding materials on the history of banking. I can't say enough about his business ethics. In all my professional encounters in this business (my dad was a rare book dealer) I've never encountered someone with AJ's class. When working in this business, one frequently need to rely on another person's expertise and honesty. I've found that AJ is very trustworthy. Long story short, he could have taken advantage of a significant mistake on my end, and made extra money on a transaction, but instead found a way for us both to walk away happy. Recommended without reservation. read more

I appreciate the customer service I receive from AJ. When I travel I talk to him first and am able to get the currency I need for my trip at very reasonable prices. The one time I tried to use the currency exchange at the airport, the people there hadn't even heard of the country I was traveling to (Serbia), so they didn't help me and left me heading to a country with no currency. I instantly regretted not making time to talk to AJ prior to my last minute trip. Moving forward I will continue to use his services every time I travel and highly recommend others do as well. read more

I had a wonderful experience in this shop. I entered with zero knowledge of coins, watches, gold or silver. I walked out with tons of interesting information from an expert in the field. The shop owner was very professional throughout his evaluation of my items and his years of experience in this industry was clearly evident. I would not hesitate to visit this shop in the future and can give the owner my highest recommendation for transparency and fairness. read more

AJ has been absolutely amazing with helping me understand currency, coin value and putting me at ease when it comes to stuff I don't understand. He is trustworthy and I would recommend him to any novice or expert to the coin community. He is beyond fair and always is willing to give you a deal. AJ has given me numerous coin and currency magazines to help my growth in this new venture. Extremely grateful :) read more
