They recommended 2 places and they were right, I was offered $125 more! They didn't have to do that, with a coaxing I probably would have sold. This establishment has integrity and they have ALL of my future business.

I had to sell my gold to help an amazing friend of mine pay a school district $100 for a repair on a school-issued laptop lin order for her son to be able to graduate from 2nd grade. Ron, the owner here, offered me $75 but when I mentioned the situation my friend was in, he immediately raised his offer to $100. A business who sees customers as people and not just dollar signs is rare these days, and Ron at STC Gold & Silver is a great example of a local business that truly cares about his customers. I highly recommend anyone with any gold or sterling silver gathering dust who'd like a little extra cash stop by here and say hi and see what kind of cash they can walk out with. This is the way all businesses should be run.

I'm not a coin expert, but I needed to sell some silver coins my dad had for MANY decades and after doing a good amount of research I called Arlington Coin who said over the phone they were buying then offered what I'm confident was a very fair price after reviewing the coins. Downtown Arlington Heights has changed a lot over the decades, but this place is still the same and a great option for supporting a local business and get great prices if you're in the market to buy or sell coins.

I usually don't put a lot of stock in reviews either positive or negative because the negative…read morereviews are usually the competition of the business being reviewed, and its hard tell if the positive ones are real or not. I can tell you first hand, when it comes to this store the positive reviews are real. The one negative reviewer who in his post seems to know all the ins and outs jewelry business, like what machines are used to evaluate coins, and what the price of platinum is. Who really knows the price of platinum and palladium besides someone in the business. Gold and Silver yes, but platinum palladium? What also doesn't make a lot of sense is if you have 48K worth of coins, like he claims, wouldn't it make more sense to sell it to another collector or at a coin show to get as much as possible. This makes me very skeptical of the negative review left by Jeff S. and makes me believe the review was left by a competitor or a jackass. What I do know, is I went to 3 different stores to get coins evaluated that my father left to me recently when he passed away in October. This store was the last store of the 3 I went to and they gave me the most money for my coins of the 3 stores. In my opinion the difference was pretty significant. I was very happy and realized that the other 2 stores were basically taking advantage of me. After the deal was completed and I had been paid I asked the the owner Bert I believe his name is and his assistant Jon, why the 3 appraisals from the 3 different shops were of so drastically different for the same items. They explained to me that he could not speak for other shops but in their shop they give the best possible price on items to keep their inventory full and they do not have high margins on items they buy and sell. They keeps the doors open by doing high volume and repeat customers. Well guys you earned a new customer, I will be back for that Rolex one of these days. Thank you for being fair and not taking advantage of me. God Bless, and Happy Holidays. Paul Tyler

The price I was given on the spot was very fair. Albert looked at my jewelry, tested it and even had it reevaluated to make sure his appraisal was honest.

Also, I would recommend coming to check out the diamond ring selection. They're stunning and custom designs can also be made.

Then all of a sudden the number 146 was offered to me. in a way i was like......WTF?!?! Just a second ago the most she offered me is 78 bucks, then all of a sudden she is willing to give me double that. THE BUSINESS PERFORMED HERE IS SHADY. I DECLINED THAT OFFER JUST BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING FOR CASH, NOT A CHECK( WHICH IS THE ONLY FORM OF PAYMENT HERE).

We have a few medical bills we need to take care of so I went in to see what I could get for them. I still have the receipts my dad had saved when he bought them in the first place. I was hoping to get maybe half or three quarters of what they were bought for. (Do collectibles actually ever gain in value?) It turns out that they're actually worth MORE. Apparently the price of gold has gone up quite a bit since then. The lady knew I just wanted to get a portion of what they had been bought for and she knew I would have been happy with a much lower offer and she still ended up buying the coins for quite a bit more than the amount on the receipts. I really appreciate it and I'd recommend this store to anyone that has valuables to sell.
