Went to Windy City coins to sell some of my doubles today. And the idiot at the counter must be…read moreblind and stupid. He has no knowledge of coins. He looked at my variety of coins from Morgan's to Indian head pennies and said that they were all cleaned which is bull$hit because I have been dealing in coins for over 30 years and I know what is cleaned and what is not. This clown didn't even take the time to look at the coins closely. And he wanted to lowball me on the silver coins I had. Beware when you try to do business with this idiot because he may be friendly but he is a crook!!!!!!!

I went to a competitor and got quoted almost triple what this store quoted me. Aaron, I did send an email with no response. That furthers my opinion on your shady practices.

I grew up in Glenview and have been a patron here for years; recent purchases include two giant panda 'gold' coins ; articles from the 60s and (eg Kennedy assasination; Moon Landing); an antique jewelry piece. Oh, 'Don't Get Me Wrong'-- ( Pretenders! Song 1980s ) I am a SHOE- MUSIC- BOOKS -BALLET and-'Any Girly-Girl Clothing Item that SPARKLES' girl. ( Chocolate brownies, GOOD smoothies that do NOT taste like chalk, and original Frango Mints too, but those are different stories). (Career path is mixed-- more in the health, dance and general retail arena than anywhere in my undergraduate area of study). But with my undergraduate degree in History and a former tutor who sometimes wanted to treat my regular students to items of interest, more meaningful than a gift card -- this was and is the place to shop. John, the owner, and his staff ( Matt; Luke) offer INTEGRITY, professional knowledge and great customer service. Store is 'eclectic' but clean (and all protocol followed in regard to COVID-19/aka SARS-CoV-2). I think of this store as a 'mini-Museum' when I cannot spend a full day at one-- Highly recommend this store; Glenview Coins and Collectibles has been a fixture in Glenview for many years, and their reputation is well-earned.

Unfortunately Ive had to change my review. I bought a silver Eagle from NCS in a presentation case…read moreand the coin looked fine except, strangely, it had the reverse showing when it should have been the obverse. It was kind of hard to dig out and I figured it was all fine so I let it go. I came home and finally dug it out and saw the obverse looked terrible and this coin will be difficult to re-sell. Theres no way a coin dealer wouldn't have known this. He sold me this messed up coin at full price anyways without telling me one side looked like hell. So at best its buyer beware at this place. I'll never go back and he lost a customer over a $65 coin that he only made a few bucks for. Its the dishonesty that bothers me.

A mixed bag depending on who you interact with. This is a small business so I get opening the…read morestore a bit late (an hour and 15 minutes after the reader board information). We were trying to both buy and sell coins. There was a purchase rate difference given to sellers between the owner (18x face value), and the employee (17x face value). The rates should have been the same. The owner quoted higher face value purchase rates than the employee. So sellers beware. I caught the lower rate and called the employee out on it, and he adjusted the offered rate upwards to where it should have been. I felt very comfortable working with the owner. Knows the business, very approachable, Has a good understanding of coins. The other employee used the lower rate on another customer while I was there. Thus you get the low stars review. After selling some of my inventory I tried to purchase coins from them. They had gone to a show the week before and sold most of their inventory. So that was the real drawback. There was hardly any inventory, so disappointing. I would like to give them another try, I just don't know what their normal business model is. Is it buying precious metals, or selling coins?

I recently visited PGS Gold and Coin to sell my silver coins in person, and it was a genuinely…read morepleasant experience from start to finish. The staff was welcoming, professional, and took the time to carefully evaluate my coins without making me feel rushed or pressured. Their honesty and transparency gave me confidence that I was receiving a fair offer. I also liked that is was based in Palatine, Illinois, near my home and is a family-owned business. I noted they are an authorized dealer recognized by respected organizations including the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), and Paper Money Guaranty (PMG). They also sponsor the American Numismatic Association (ANA) and maintain an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, adding to confidence in their ethical business practices. I also appreciate that they offer both a welcoming physical storefront and an eBay store, giving customers the flexibility to buy or sell in whichever way is most convenient. If you're looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and friendly coin dealer, I highly recommend PGS Gold and Coin. This was my second time doing business with them.

I took a couple of gold coins I'd gotten many years ago to PGS in Palatine last week. We needed…read moresome cash for something special, and wanted to see what they would offer. The door is locked when you arrive and there is a doorbell. They answered right away and politely asked why we were there. I told them I had some gold coins to sell and they immediately sat me down and asked to see them. Not wanting to show everything, I gave them one of the coins to see how they valued it. (I did my research before going.) Their offer was on the low end of the range, but acceptable. Since it was a little low, I decided to sell the one and to hold onto the others for now. The transaction was fast, and within ten minutes I showed them the coin, they valued it, and I had a check in hand. Fast, reasonable, and nice people working there. I'm very pleased with our experience.
