While it is true that it is a husband-and-wife business, Mike, one of the owners, mainly handles the coins. His wife answers the doorbell and assists with paperwork and some jewelry assessments, but during my almost hour-long wait with my sister, I only saw her look at one piece of jewelry that came in. All coin transactions with customers looking to sell are managed by Mike. When we finally met with him, he spent over 20 minutes explaining why he would not be purchasing our Morgan and Peace Dollars. It wasn't because they were fake; rather, my sister had purchased them from the Bradford Exchange, and while they were in "PCGS type" holders, Mike noticed that many coins were cleaned, which devalues them significantly. He was very kind and even suggested that we take them to a coin show. Mike also mentioned that if I bring in items that require closer inspection, I should make an appointment. He indicated that appointments take priority. This is truly a "Mom and Pop" establishment, and you should expect to wait a long time. They are upfront about this and may ask you to return later if possible because the shop is small, has no seating, and wait times can be lengthy. This is the only reason I rated it four stars. I found Mike to be friendly and attentive, taking the time to ensure that every customer who walked in understood why he would or would not purchase the items they presented. I can not comment on his inventory because the day I came, we was so busy with sellers he didn't even have a chance to put any coins out on his displays.

Before I went in, I called the owner, Ron, for some information. He told me to bring in our coins and he'd take a look at what we had. Prior to this, I had done some research and purchased a couple of books to try to get a rough approximation of what the coins were worth, but wanted to get a professional opinion. Ron definitely knew his stuff; he's been into coins since he was a kid, and his knowledge was very apparent. He went through my coin inventory, gave me prices he'd pay if we were interested in selling, talked shop for a bit, and didn't charge me a dime. If we do decide to sell anything, he'll be the first place I go. And if you're interested in buying, he has a nice inventory of coins for purchase. In fact, I'll be going back in one of these days to buy a few things to add to my collection.

They took detailed photos of the ring before, which were included on the estimate and receipt, and gave a clear estimate of what to expect. This is after we dropped it off at a different shop in Albany to have two bands soldered together, where photos were not taken of the ring at drop off and he felt overall uneasy about that experience. I really felt like everyone was friendly and helpful!

About a year ago, I brought a ring in to Olufson to inquire about having it appraised. The sales…read moreassociate was nice, told me they don't do appraisals, and that they generally don't recommend an appraisal them unless you are planning on selling the ring (strange advice if you ask me. I wanted to have it appraised for insurance). I don't think she knew that I brought the ring in a year or two earlier to have the gem identified (it was an inherited ring and we didn't know what the gem was). And I was told at the time that it was a high quality gem with high quality diamonds on it. She offered to buy it on the spot for $388. I politely declined knowing that the ring was likely worth a lot more. I finally had it appraised and the replacement value is off the charts. I know that replacement/insurance value is not equal to a purchase/selling price AT ALL, but the gold alone is worth 10x what they offered me. So shady. I would never go back to Olufson after this. Moral of the story: Always ALWAYS get a second opinion. Never sell jewelry on the spot. And maybe avoid Olufson.
