Local family own business. I checked out a few spots in the Bay Area and nothing comes close OSG price! Brian was very transparent and his wife is very lovely too. He did the testing and weighing in front of me. Gave me great expert advice and explained the process really well. I am satisfied with the results. I definitely will return and definitely recommend. read more

The owners here are some of the nicest in the business. They are fair, knowledgeable, patient, and most of all, respectful. In my multiple visits, I have always had an A+ customer experience. Their margins are fair and oftentimes leagues better than their competitors. If you're not familiar with the market, and you walk in with a little bit of humility, they will educate you appropriately and honestly. They never hide anything and are open about everything. They kept their doors open when silver hit all-time highs and started buying sterling silver as soon as they were able to, which you cannot say about some of the shops around the Bay. They have a great selection of silver and gold, including bullion and numismatic items. Prices are often marked on holders, so you know they are treating everyone fairly. When selling, they never pressure you to make a deal. In all my times visiting, I have always walked out pleased and with a little bit more knowledge on precious metals. read more

The guy behind the counter is all business, but ended up being very friendly and helpful once we started talking. He gave me great advice about how to store my silver coins, in addition to an appraisal that I believe was very fair compared to some prices I had seen online. When I am ready to sell, I am definitely going back. read more

Really nice owners. Explained everything well and were patient even though I am new to stacking. They recommended the silver that was best for my goals and were transparent with their pricing. At the time I went they offered $1.65 over spot price. Would recommend. read more

OSG is and always will be my go to shop for precious metals. The team at this establishment is very honest, fair and accommodating. The fact they're operating at the level they are under current market conditions is amazing. I always leave OSG with a smile on my face. Great people, great service and great vibes. I'm a lifelong customer. read more

Called a number of local places to get prices on silver bars. OGS made the best offer. They have a better location than most other dealers and do business by appointment only for security. Fair, safe, efficient, friendly. read more

This business stood out amongst all the others I contacted when selling some gold. They took the time to educate me, gave me the best price, and even advised me to hold off on selling as gold would soon be rising in value. They were correct. 100% would use them again. read more

I was recommended this place by a friend and couldn't be happier! I've been coming here for a few years now and after shopping around not only do they have great prices and good selection, but they also give great service! Bryan and Jen have never steered me wrong, they've educated me over the years on collectibles, forecasts on precious metals, and even showed me how to use a sigma to tell if something's legit or not. Great service, selection, value, and integrity. What more could you ask for! read more

No complaints. They just can't negotiate prices. I understand that they gotta get paid too. But we were so close to a round number and they wouldn't budge. But at least their fee was low. It is just a hair confusing that there's a gold shop across the street from the gold shop. Not a complaint, just a heads up. read more

Very good pricing. Helped us make a good choice for our first purchase. Brian is very informative and friendly.

Brian and Jennifer are knowledgeable, honest and fair. I have had two transactions with them the past 4 years, and I find them a pleasure to deal with. read more

Guys, remember what I tell you, if your going to do business here ONLY ASK FOR THE LADY. I checked this business pretending I didn't know anything about silver and partial on gold. As I do business here and the east coast, I really wanted to check small mom & pop shops in the Bay Area, and I tell you what this is truly a gem. The lady was ridiculously genuine and was very patient, polite and always explaining things the right way. Again if your going to do business here and want a professional service only ask for the lady.... Guy is a bit of a snob, sarcastic & not a good energy to do business with. Could have gotten a better rating. Only the lady remember that read more

Honesty and professionalism are a staple here at Oakland Silver&Coin. I searched around the bay for a shop I could trust since i was just starting out in this endeavor. After visiting a few it quickly became apparent to me that this shop is far and wide the best. The more I educate myself on dealing with precious metals, the more this shop validates itself as head and shoulders above the rest. read more

Some shops already estimated my silver coin value, but in here they said my coins were fake !

Sold some of my grandparents' old coin collection. It was very easy to make an appointment and Brian was very helpful. I don't know much about coins and he explained how he was looking for key attributes for valuation. I will be recommending this great business to all my friends who may want to buy or sell coins! read more

Honest pricing I used to come here years ago when they first opened and they are by far the best place to go for transparency and top dollar

If you love coins, or curious about exchanging gold for cash, these folks are legitimate, trustworthy and veterans of the trade. Everything you need to know about their awesome selection of silver world coins is written and tucked in the fold of the flip for future reference. Call and reserve an appointment, they are committed to securing a safe and cash only transaction. Highly recommended. read more

Oakland Silver & Gold - World coins - Gold Buyers Near Me - Oakland, California

I inherited some silver certificates and half dollars, and finding very positive Yelp reviews, I made an appointment at Silver and Gold. I was able to get an appointment easily, and the man who took care of me was so helpful, honest, and kind. Only of my bills and none of my coins were worth more than face value, yet the man spent fifteen minutes with me, and he gave me very useful information about enhancing the value of the bill that might have some value. I highly recommend this professional and honest business. read more

Very friendly and fast service! This shop is very honest and straightforward! They will pay fair price I think better than any other shops in the bay ! Don't waste your time going somewhere else . read more

Looking for investment grade metals? Tired of hacks and salesman pushing coins to anyone gullible enough? Oakland Silver and Gold is way above bar. They are the best dealer I've ever come across whether it's a small purchase, a swap, an appraisal or a high ticket buy or sell they serve all. It's always best to make an appointment.! read more

This is my third trip to Oakland Silver & Gold to close out my parents estate. Jennifer and Brian are always incredibly professional. She tested the gold jewelry in front of me so I knew the gold content. The price offered was market value, as posted on a regular updated tv screen. I felt confident that I was being treated fairly and with respect. I recommend this business to all my friends. read more

I've come to this place twice and have had two totally opposite experiences. First. Very quiet clean place with knowledgable people behind the counter. I came in randomly to see how much I could possibly get for an old ring I stumbled upon. The staff were nice, & helped me in a fast & friendly manner. I had no complaints & left wanting to give the place a great review. 5 stars. However, today knocked them down to a three. I dealt with totally different guys whom seemed alright. As we finished off the transaction I placed my I'd in his hand only to have it tossed across the counter back to me. How rude! If I placed it in your hand give me the same respect. He was not personable at all in any way & did not make me feel welcome. Coming back here will be a last resort. & My integrity is also worth more than $20, indeed. read more

Oakland Silver & Gold - Gold Buyers Near Me - Oakland, California

These guys are great. Very professional, very nice selection, fair pricing. Flexible with appointments and did not feel rushed when I was there. My go to place for precious metals. read more

I'm too broke to own any silver or gold, but like glossy black feathered crows who live in the rocks above Black Sand Beach, I am tempted by the sparkly shiny things and always pop in to peep at what's in the cases, under the suspicious eyes of the proprietors who seem very business-only oriented. Nonetheless, I am glad that they are there and in business - instead of an empty storefront! Neat stuff and worth checking out. read more

Old coins and jewelry can be valuable, but how does the average person know and who can one trust? I highly recommend Oakland Silver & Gold. Their breadth of knowledge is beyond impressive, but even more striking is their integrity. They have proven their commitment to maintaining the highest ethics, honesty and reputation. And, they are a pleasure to work with. Oakland Silver & Gold is my permanent silver and gold dealer - I would never risk going anywhere else. read more

Oakland Silver & Gold rocks! They are professional, courteous and very knowledgeable about the precious metals industry. I came here because I had a bad experience at another coin shop in Oakland and these guys are the real deal. Pricing here is very fair and you can be assured that they are selling quality merchandise. They are also willing to answer whatever questions you have about precious metals. read more

This is by far the most professional coin and precious metals brokerage in the Bay Area. I have owned and operated recycling companies locally for the past 20 years, and have had the opportunity to work closely with literally hundreds of metals brokers throughout the world. You would be hard pressed to find a team as hard working, and ethical as both Bryan and Jen at Oakland Silver and Gold. If you are in the area and looking to either buy or sell metals, consider yourself lucky to have them as an option to work with. Five well earned stars for this dynamic team! read more

I have been buying and selling gold coins for a few years now and probably went through 10 to 12 places before I found this place at this point this is the only place I will go if you want the best value for what you got and no run around and great professionalism this is the place to go read more

Lady was amazing, don't know her name. Bought some junk jewelry from me at a fair price.

I left here wondering if I'd done the right thing by selling a bunch of coins and gold jewelry to them. They tell you you are getting a specific percentage of the spot price but you have no way of really knowing. One must have an appt. which is good...only one customer in at a time...safer for Covid exposure as well as security. We waited outside until the gentleman before us was done and then my husband and I were let in. At the same time a man who looked possibly homeless also walked in behind us. There was no conversation between this gentleman and the owners. As I was taking out all my items I felt him just too close behind us. His clothes were dirty and he had a bunch of filthy plastic bags. He wore no mask. The woman behind the counter must have seen me continue to look over my shoulder a few times, obviously uncomfortable. I finally told her I felt uncomfortable with him right there and I was snapped at that " he is one of our best customers!". I'm sorry I didn't just take my items and leave. We had the appt. And he should have waited outside just like we had to. I have more to sell but I won't be going back to Oakland Silver and Gold. read more

Yelp took down the screenshot of Oakland Silver and Gold's message to me trying to pay me to take down my review. Caveat emptor.

Excellent honest buyers and sellers. They are my preferred gold and silver outlet in the neighborhood. Delightful men who work and own the place nestled next to Water Lilies and across the street from the Italian Ceramic Shoppe. Great native assets for sale and trade. The owners are connected to local businesses that offer most anything you need that is authentic, natural, and ethnic items from abroad and local that represent the community. I even got them interested in Bitcoin. Thanks so much for your honest, pleasant, educated service!!! read more

I had a really good experience at Oakland Gold and Silver. I brought in some gold jewelry that I was thinking of selling. I was waited on right away, the staff was very friendly and put me at ease. Though I was offered a good price for my gold and the experience was a very good one, I wound up going with another company. That however should not reflect poorly on Oakland Silver and Gold. They did a very good job and I'd be happy to recommend them. read more

Jen and Brian are both really good people to deal with when I buy or sell gold. They have a new security door installed and I feel much more secure with it on. Today seemed to be one of those days where they shut down the gold portal for buying gold and I was not able to get the gold bars that I was looking to buy. Fortunately, Brian had another avenue when he made a call to a place to help me get my order. I'm very thankful that they were able to get everything I wanted to buy. Overall, I have had a good experience every time I've been there buying or selling gold. read more

Went to check it out. Looking for 2oz Queens Beast and 10oz silver bars. Was able to score bought at a reasonable price, all premiums are listed in their screen. Brain was very helping and informative on the items. Even checked in the back to see if he had anything else in back stock and new arrivals. Definitely recommended. I've been to many coin shops and only a handful are as helpful. read more

Oakland Silver and Gold are very easy to work with. Understand general gold and silver (non collectible) daily prices are based on quantity and type is based on % above or below spot. They assess items fast, quote fast and process is quick and seamless!! Nice location near freeway exit... large metered parking lot 1/2 block away... read more

The gentleman and lady here were very kind, knowledgeable and personable. They gave me a fair price $20 over spot for my American eagles and gave me some good information about them as well. They have a great attitude especially having dealt with a couple brake ins recently to their shop. I sincerely encourage you to bring your business here, as I have been to 5 gold coin shops so far and this is the best that I've dealt with. read more

I bought 4 coins from them last week for under the 1,500 tax limit, paid my bill with tax, and left. Went back in today and there was a couple in front of me asking about the sales tax. The same guy who sold me my coins told them about the sales tax rule for purchases under 1,500. The guy proceeded to say "but don't worry, we usually waive the sales tax any way, unless you punk us or something" I guess I somehow "punked" them without my knowledge or something. I don't know. I guess I am just frustrated cause I already paid a premium on the coins, but then they charged me sales tax which they probably are pocketing anyway (complete assumption based on the fact that that they didn't charge the other couple and the hand written receipt I got didn't even have the store identification on it). I just bought some coins from an online dealer so I hope that pans out... would have preferred going to a physical store though. read more
