The very nice lady working there looked at my coins, smiled and offered me $97 or just over $6 each, "they're 40% silver " I declined the offer and left thinking getting a second opinion might be wise. Today I hear that "melt value" of these same coins is around $10? In summation, I guess that unless you really are knowledgeable about coins and know what you're doing, ask around ...

The owners here are some of the nicest in the business. They are fair, knowledgeable, patient, and…read moremost of all, respectful. In my multiple visits, I have always had an A+ customer experience. Their margins are fair and oftentimes leagues better than their competitors. If you're not familiar with the market, and you walk in with a little bit of humility, they will educate you appropriately and honestly. They never hide anything and are open about everything. They kept their doors open when silver hit all-time highs and started buying sterling silver as soon as they were able to, which you cannot say about some of the shops around the Bay. They have a great selection of silver and gold, including bullion and numismatic items. Prices are often marked on holders, so you know they are treating everyone fairly. When selling, they never pressure you to make a deal. In all my times visiting, I have always walked out pleased and with a little bit more knowledge on precious metals.

THEY ARE THE BEST!! after a frustrating couple of days being turned away at various "pawn shops", i…read moredecided to try one last place. im SO glad i did, i am a customer for life. i came in today with a small bin full of miscellaneous jewelry, nothing crazy fancy- and a lot of pieces that needed to be tested. the entire team was SO warm and friendly when they welcomed me in. but i have to say, sabrine was the star of the show. she told me how much she loved looking through collections like that and got to work. as she sorted through my items, i looked at all the beautiful (and very reasonably priced) items they had for sale, so many amazing treasures!! early on in my transaction, sabrine asked me about the gold colored pieces i had, and i told her that someone at a different pawn shop the other day said there was not any gold. sabrine offered to re test them, and told me she found a couple pieces of gold. THAT was a huge trust-earning moment for me, she could have easily pocketed them as copper/brass, but was very honest. she checked in with me throughout the process, but i was content browsing and chatting with the other employees/customers, everyone was truly so nice. when sabrine told me my offer, i was so, so, so happy i almost cried- it was amazing and SO fair. sabrine was SO thorough, yet efficient with the help of other team members. she sorted through hundreds of pieces of jewelry in about an hour, and i walked out with more cash than i anticipated. THANK YOU SABRINE & granters!!!!!!

A yelp search resulted in this business. Over 20 years ago, when my boss retired from the labor force, he gave me a 14K gold bracelet, thanking me for being his secretary. Well, the link came off and I was trying to connect it to the bracelet, only to have it fall out of my hands onto the carpet. (Good luck in trying to find that link.) No worry. The Gold Spot Jewelers to the rescue. I stopped in this afternoon to take care of business (bizness). The elderly gentleman was indeed a tremendous help. He was skillful and a professional in jewelry repair. OG got it going on - mad skills and all. The "brutha" is awesome in my book. (Right on, my man) According to him, he has been at this location for about 15 years. Need jewelry repair? Drop on by The Gold Spot Jewelers. The owner will take care of ya with a smile.

It's only by reading through those reviews that I found out about The Gold Spot, located right in South Shore. I came into Gold Spot to get my watch battery replaced. The replacement was $15, very reasonable, and completed while I waited, in under 10 minutes. Will return for future watch repair or jewelry cleaning needs.

Absolute rip offs. They have they're friends or personal contacts leave positive reviews but when…read moreyou do business with them you will definitely see different for yourself. They tell you they buy at a certain percentage than you can call another professional establishment and compare the numbers and find out that they're commission of course is based on taking advantage. They're website says trusted? That a lie. Not to be trusted. I've done business with them a couple of times and not only based on my own encounters with them I have watched them rip even a homeless man off. They have a bozo the clown guy who if you pay close attention definitely looks sketchy but tries to impress you with his proper verbage. He's definitely a crook. Don't sell here do yourself a favor and shop around before final decision

I came from the East Bay to check out this store. I'm a coin collector. The owner asked how I could…read morehelp so I listed some things that I'm interested in. His response was "no" and the interaction became unnecessarily contentious and we started going in circles, which confused me why a shop owner would treat new clients that way and get angry for no real reason. The truth is he was purchasing a collection from a customer and he wouldn't be done for three hours. Maybe next time close the store if you are in the middle of a big transaction. He decided to give his card with a hint of anger towards me. Doesn't matter...I won't be coming back after that first experience.

I should have posted this a long time ago and I'm sorry for not doing it Ron!…read more This is a trustworthy place to bring collections big or small. My dad passed back in 2018 and left us with a huge collection. Ron went out of his way to meet us with staff on a Saturday afternoon. He went through every book and box of stamps my dad left us. He was honest and to the point about value and not over stating anything. He was very kind to my 85 year old mom who just passed also. He was patient and said give him 6 months to a year to sell off everything. He always sent updates to us along the way and sure enough before a year was over he sold the entire collection. He got us a very fair price and a detailed report of everything he sold. It was a lot of work on his part and deserves everything he get's for the work he puts in. Ron is a rare person today who loves what he does and has the knowledge and experience to deliver. Anyone who has a massive collection to sell should look no further than Ron and The United States Stamp Company. Again Thanks Ron for what you did for our family!!
