I've been to Citadel Coins a few times to buy 1 oz silver bars. At the time that I'm writing this…read morereview, they price their silver bars at global spot price of silver bullion + $5.00 CAD. I like that transparency on the price and feel like I'm being treated fairly. I bought my silver to put in a safe deposit box as an investment rather than for collecting. If you're interested in silver coins, they have a nice selection of those as well. The coins have a markup on the price since they are both pure silver and also collectibles, so the cost will vary depending on what sort of coins you're interested in. Citadel also sells gold, but that's too rich for my blood! :) They have a wall display of bank notes, and they also sell older coins as you might guess from the name of the business. Citadel also buys gold and silver. I haven't sold anything to them (I'm not looking to sell anything in the near future), so I can't comment on that part of their business. While I've been in the store, I've seen other customer bring in things like old silver dining sets and old gold watches. I have no idea how much they offer for stuff like that, but it might be worth stopping in if you think you have some scrap precious metal that's worth money. Don't let my 4 star rating make you nervous. I'm only holding back the 5th star because, as I said above, I have no experience with the 'I sell to them' part of this business. As a buyer, I have no complaints whatsoever and would recommend Citadel Coins if you're in the market for silver as an investment, or silver coins as collectibles.

Great owner, reasonable prices, excellent service. For people who invest in gold and silver there…read morearen't many if any other options in Halifax yet Citadel Coins doesn't take advantage of that situation the way other stores in other industries do. Most coin stores are impatient when it comes to customers taking their time browsing products but Citadel Coins lets them stay hours even if they only end up spending a couple dollars. The owner does a lot for coin collectors in Nova Scotia, don't think a coin show would happen in Halifax without Citadel Coins. The store is invaluable to Metro.

Was told that my items can be held for an extra 10 days by this businesses long time employee, as I was not able to pay the interest on the due date. I was ASSURED that my things would be safe until the agreed time that I could come in to pay the approx $40 interest, this was going to be an extra 10 days.But to my disgust, my items that are worth nearly $700 have been taken by the owners. I am very displeased ... I would not recommend taking your valuables to this place , I needed cash so I pawned my things for a period of time, in which I always come back to get out again. I'm always good with paying my interest on time and when I can not pay my interest on time I am responsible and call and ask if it can be held off for an extra given amount of time, the employee said YES. I mean... charge me extra interest then! OR don't tell me that you can hold my things a little longer. I gave a date and time when I would be in to get my items, I call the shop on the day I am going to pick my items up and they are gone?! I was given the word of the long time employee that my things would be safe until the end of the month. And here it is... nearly $700 of my items gone. Honestly.... if you need cash and need to pawn your treasured items for a period of time, be safe and go some where else.

When I told him that my health isn't good he shows no sign he even cared. Then today without warning he kicked me out of the store for what? I was joking around with one of the staff no worse then I always do and I said one thing to another worker " I guess the manger don't want to sell me that stereo" that's what this new manger calls rude and breaking his rules. To makes things worse the manger didn't want me to be talking to other customers but the only time I ever did that they started talking with me first so I got in trouble but they didn't Don't get me wrong I have no problems with the staff themselves but the new manger is very rude and mean. I will edit this review only when the new manger says he's sorry to me(In person and in front of everyone in the store) and lets me back in the store Because I did nothing wrong. I'm one of the only ones left that service this kind of vintage tech and I always gave this pawn shop first chance at buying it and they sell what I bring in so they make money. I guess it's time to sell it on my own and take my money else where I just feel bad for the other staff they was always nice to me because hurts them too. See picture below this was the component system the new manger gave me the insulting lowball offer on(The turntable and small speakers were bought after the insulting offer to complete this system)

Narrative: My twelve-year-old Timex chronograph's adjustment functions and second hand had been askew for the past year. I walked into the store and was greeted with a warm smile by Victoria, who preceded to listen to my watch woes. She directed me to Scott, who took my watch, and after scrutinizing it for a few seconds, pulled the stem, pushed one of the buttons repeatedly, which manually reset the resting position of the second-hand. Should you need help in the arcane realm of timepiece mechanics, Scott's colleagues consider him "the man to see about watches". Thanks again to Victoria, Scott, et al.
