Went in and they tried charging me double spot price for silver American Eagles. Needless to say I did not buy.

I was hopeful in coming here but what a disappointment. I brought a couple silver coins and some cufflinks in to sell and they proceeded to treat me like my coins were fake. The staff is rude and clearly not as knowledgeable as they claim to be. I'd avoid - there's a dozen other places that don't treat you like a nuisance vs. a customer. read more

After years of having a good business relationship , I walked out without selling or buying a thing and will NEVER go back. The new ownership is substandard. The don't treat your items with care and the lady that helped me payed no attention to key dates on coins and was unfamiliar with any hallmarks. I was offered $10 for an 1878 CC Morgan because "it was dirty". They argued in front of me in a foreign language while the 2 of them had my items in 2 different areas. I finally just took all of my items and left. It seems that when the corporate buyout on this long standing mom and pops shop was initiated, keeping the integrity was not part of the package deal. read more

Never believes that my coins are silver, why so negative? She's also a lowballer, so be careful. Her coins are generally way overpriced, too. read more

On March 29 I popped-in this shop, but the woman who opened her cage does NOT understand basic English! I asked whether she knows anything about those coins that are trending on the Internet now - "Wheat Penny", "2004 Quarter", etc. She just kept staring at me with her mouth open; not a sound... I left. read more

So the new owners are greedy and will lose business because of this. Offered $60 for an item I sold elsewhere (to another shop after leaving) for $160, with no negotiation necessary. After declining her ridiculous offer, the lady actually tried to charge me for testing the clearly marked (legitimate) .925 sterling silver. I literally had to tell her, no, that's not how this business works. I will be leaving now. Good luck. And buyers/sellers beware. Don't settle if you know your items are worth (considerably) more. read more

Nice friendly service took care of all my needy needs. Apparently my review is too short so Yelp would not let me post it. So here is some useless words that has nothing to do with the business added strictly for Yelp. read more

Friendly and fair pricing right from the start, without the lowball/highball garbage and haggling that some other precious metal dealers do when they try to take advantage of people who don't know any better. A literal mom and pop shop. Plenty of parking. I would have gone to a closer dealer to me, but that guy was rude and had bad pricing, so I was happy to drive a little farther to this shop instead. read more

i bought a illuminati coin from this shop the man said his son made the coins, it was stolen when my car was stolen, i'd love another one of those coins!!!! read more

The owners John and Joyce are very friendly and helpful. They know their stuff when it comes to gold and silver and give a good deal when it comes to sell to them. I feel very comfortable in talking to them about bullion and other stuff. They have a loyal customer from me. John read more

My husband told me about this place (raved about it, in fact). As an avid collector, he buys a lot of silver (and I have my own smaller investment of bullion and bars). So when the time came to make our first (modest) purchase of gold bullion, naturally we went to Mom's Silver Shop. And he wasn't exaggerating. By far a superior shop to any others in the area (and likely the entire Sacramento Valley and beyond). I believe either my husband or I have visited every shop in the tri-county area and this one tops them all. Most of our bullion purchases were online (APMEX, etc.) because of the scarcity of sufficiently stocked "brick and mortar" venues for purchasing precious metals. Until we found Mom's Silver Shop. This is not one of those shops where there's a meager handful of random coins/bars in one or two dusty showcases. "Mom" has an awesome selection (so much so that we walked out with more than we originally came to buy. :) The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable, as were their 3 adorable little dogs (mini dachshunds, I think) who gave us a very warm and friendly greeting as we were buzzed in. Even my husband, who doesn't care much for small dogs, was charmed and couldn't resist bending down and getting some love from these guys. Mom's Silver Shop's prices are very competitive, and their selection of gold, silver, and copper was a veritable buffet of bullion and bars! No pushy salespeople here! Nor did they hover (at least not in any obtrusive way). "Mom" (Joyce) and John were very engaging and my husband and I both struck up conversations. Joyce pointed out items that she thought we'd be interested in -- but didn't try to push a sale. (Probably didn't have to with us -- I was like a kid in a candy store.) Our visit was more like visiting family than a business. We walked out with a bag of new treasures, and we look forward to our next visit. Husband's birthday is coming up so Mom's Silver Shop is definitely on the top of my list of stops on my birthday shopping run. If you collect (or invest) in gold/silver, etc., and if you haven't paid Mom's Silver Shop a visit then you're missing out. read more

I buy all my coins & silver plus sell old gold jewelry at Mom's Silver Shop! The owner's and staff are very knowledgeable about quality & current market value of gold n' silver. I highly recommend this wonderful silver shop to anyone who is interested in selling old gold, buying gold & silver. read more

I've been buying and occasionally selling here for many years. John, Joyce and Wes have always been great to talk to and do business with. Amazing depth of knowledge. The new owners, Jason and his parents, have carried on this great way of doing business. An example is today I went in to buy some silver bullion and they didn't have the particular size I wanted but they did put together the weight I wanted and sold it to me for the same price as the size I wanted. There was a price difference that they willingly discarded to make the deal. No haggling, just getting the customer what he wants. Thank you Jason! read more

Super! Ethical, honest and trustworthy. They do not wait weeks before shipping. A great source for your treasures. I've been buying from them for years with no hiccups. read more

If i could give 0 stars I would, the new owners are horrible. I took one of my morgan dollars in mint mark CC and was it was graded the lady grabbed it and said 30. I said thank you and took my coin back. There very rude and do not know what they are doing. read more

Overpriced low ballers, what else could you ask for in a gold and silver shop. It's a hit or miss, sometimes they're cool, other times they're arrogant and try to work you over... read more

I called a few coin shop to sell a few coins for my grandmother! First of all moms coin shop was super friendly when I spoke with them on the phone, witch was welcoming for sure as other places were short and not interested unless I came in, witch I did go to a couple! Moms coin shop gave me the best price for my coins! I and especially my grandmother couldn't have been happier! We will only be using this coin shop from here on out!!!! Thank you! read more

John and the crew are cordial and fair. I went to sell old gold items, some antique some just been around lots in my family. Gave good prices for some items and recommended other options for getting better prices for other items. A very positive experience! read more

Little bit pricy but it's a good shop if you want to buy less than 10 pieces. There's tax you have to pay for purchase under 1500. You can buy online for tax free and little bit cheaper per coin. All and all it's a good shop read more

Great selection. Great prices! And there really is a "Mom". The staff was super knowlegeable and really took their time with my 10 year old son who is an avid coin collector. They made his birthday purchase, extra special. We'll be back for sure! read more

This isn't your typical coin/pawn type shop. It is extremely clean and nice and the older guy (sorry don't know name) is super friendly and bends over backward to make you feel welcome - without being pushy. I took my 5yr old daughter here a few weeks back and he gave here a discounted clad coin coin and some coin chocolates, which were a huge hit. They are very competitive when compared to places like apmex, especially once you factor in shipping costs, and if you spend $1500 and get no tax, it is a no brainer. No shady business on pricing either; if you ask a price, he looks at the TV screen based on current spot and gives you an immediate answer. Great place. read more

Awesome! Awesome! This place is great and so unlike all the other coin buyers/sellers. Mom's Silver Shop not only sells gold and silver but they buy it too. This shop it bright, open, and friendly a place I feel safe going into alone with my kids. It's defiantly a family place run by a very nice family. Will return for years to come. :) read more

These people are probably the BEST local coin dealers in the surrounding Sacramento area. Every other place had unfriendly and pushy dealers tapping on the counter, hinting for you to either buy something or get out. Their prices are a bit higher than I wanted, but reasonably good if you buy in bulk. read more

After visiting another coin shop immediately prior (due to the proximity to my work), I had a unique opportunity to compare Mom's to that shop. The other shop was not a good experience, but then I went to Mom's. Wow, what a difference! Honest helpful staff who really know their business. They are straightforward and honest. This is the place to go if you want reputable professional service and helpful friendly staff to deal with. Can't say enough good things about Mom's! read more

This place is great in every aspect. Easy to find, great prices, great selection and great service. I buy and sell at this location for my self & for my clients. They are very knowledgeable and always fair to deal with whether you are buying or selling something. As a Professional Organizer I feel comfortable referring my clients to them or working with them on behalf of my clients. I highly recommend this store! read more

I never review anything, but this place was awesome. Nice respectful people. Straight forward and fast.

Had a very pleasant experience working with John! Excellent customer service and attention to detail. I sold some silver bullion and we walked through counting of each specific piece and back checking each other's math. I respect and highly regard the team at Mom's Silver Shop. Bank wire transfer of final amount was delivered in 3 days as promised. I will definitely do business with these guys again. Thank you! read more

This place, and Crown precious metals on Folsom are the only places I go. I love the way I'm treated here, they never disappoint. Have great prices and great attitudes. I have conversations with them about other things than just silver and gold. I'm lucky to have them so close. read more

First time visiting the shop. So glad they are open on Saturdays. Incredibly helpful, friendly and knowledgeable people. I love to see family businesses and I hope they do well. They have my business. read more

They went out of their way to accommodate me, showed up just at closing time but they were happy to help me and really made me feel welcome. There's no other place that I would go to sell my silver or gold. I was very impressed and this review was the least I could do. Thanks John and family. John (jp) read more

I am new to buying silver and Mom's was the first place I visited to make my first purchase. Joyce and her son spent a great deal of time explaining the market and helping me make my first purchase. They helped me make the best choice for the type of investing that I wanted to do, without trying to upsell me. The atmosphere in the store is comfortable, and I felt as though I was among friends. Good hones people for sure. I am a small business owner and will continue to buy from them as well as recommend them to friends and family. Eric read more

I went shopping here last week. Prretty cool and awesome coins.; I cant wait to go back and get me a Pirate ship coin!

Wes was a great professional. He showed me their website and we had many discussions about all types of coins. A nice place to sell and buy coins. Double secured doors. Tera was also very pleasant with a good sense of humor. Best place I've gone for coins in Sacramento. read more

So my husband and I adventured out to our first gold buying experience today and so thankful we went to Mom's Silver Shop. We loved this place & this will continue to be go to place for our future purchases. We just felt the honesty and trusted them right away. They took the time to school us and were very patient with us newbies. We love supporting the locals and the atmosphere we just adored it was almost like walking into an old west shop. Thanks for making our first experience a sweet one! read more

First time here. very nice and helpful staff. Great prices on silver compared to the internet which is where I usually buy. Would recommend to any silver buyers. read more

Wonderful people who provide the best prices in the Sacramento area. I stopped by Joyce and John's place of business (Mom's Silver Shop) with an old brief case full of coins, to get an idea of the value. Another coin dealer had offered to buy them for substantially less. Joyce spent about three hours with me going through all the coins and listing their value (if there was more than face value). During this period of time there was plenty of pleasant and fun conversation about everything from coins to history. I would highly recommend this business to anyone wanting to buy or sell coins or other precious metals. Thank you Joyce and John for a very pleasant experience. read more

Small though accommodating. The more you buy at once the better you do with commissions. I have seen extremely interesting coins, bulion and odd lumps under the front counter. Don't let the front fool ya, it it isn't in the case, it is in the vault or can be ordered. read more

My experience with moms silver shop leaves little to be desired! For being in the business of Buying & Selling coins, I thought it odd, upon asking the question do you buy coin proof sets of USSR before the falling of the wall, their answer was "Why would we want to buy coins like THAT!"....Okay what do I know? So then I went in with {what I thought to be valuable dated 1800 coins), moms silver shop never accepted their worth in rarity value, and ONLY issued to me the worth content of silver .925 value. I later researched (which I should of done sooner) and learned that those coins (that my dad saved for me as "Rainy day coins") were worth a great deal of money. I guess one could assume, I was taken advantage of! I advise everyone to NOT go to moms silver shop! read more

Excellent and friendly service. Prices are very competitive. I would recommend them.

Mom's silver shop is a great place to buy silver/gold if you're looking to collect or invest. I drove by once or twice and decided to stop in. I was greeted by the proprietor, Joyce who was very patient and kind while answering my questions, as I had no silver buying experience prior to my visit. I feel very welcome there and very glad I bought some silver. read more
