Completely satisfied with my experience! Excellent shop With explanation of value and willing to educate on any questions I had.

I was so happy to come back to this shop after a long hiatus. The atmosphere is clean and lit up so you can clearly see the coins. Steve is a wealth of knowledge and gives the best prices in the area by far. Don't be one of those people that doesn't do your homework then sells stuff and then goes and look up retail prices and think you got scammed and now you have seller's remorse, it's lame. I have sold to Steve many times and he has always been above board and welcoming. Now I'm becoming a regular thanks Steve. read more

I was referred to Steve by a friend who had done business with him and highly recommended him. I wanted to sell some gold items I had for years. I had already taken my items to an actual jeweler, and had I agreed to sell to them I needed to bring my items back another day. Steve took me immediately even though he was closing soon. I walked out 30 minutes later with a few dollars more than the jewelry store said they MIGHT pay me, without the hassle of a second appointment! Steve is honest, personable and fair...I will do business with him again. read more

I brought in a 12.3 pound Sterling Silver platter plus two more sterling silver platters and a coffee and tea set , including a cream and sugar pieces (sterling silver). Unfortunately my son who helped me carry this all in was on his day off work and I knew he had things to do. I didn't want to take up too much of his time. I left with a small bag of 6 pounds 8 ounces of silver coins. I came back later and had written out everything that I brought in and asked him to check his cameras and he basically just told me to leave and get out of his store. I got totally ripped off of about $20k. I should've gone with my gut feeling and taken it all back and had somebody else give me a price for a second opinion. read more

Knowledgeable, timely evaluation of coins & goods. Professional. You may want to call to ensure a time, but not truly necessary. read more

Very honest and fair. Would definitely recommend going in if you have some old jewelry laying around that you'd like to sell.

Steve at Pacific Coast Coin is great. He is honest, helpful and makes you feel very comfortable when sharing your treasures.

Steve answered some questions via email before we even came into the shop, and he delighted us with a few bits of trivia once we were there, too. Honest, professional dealing with no hassle; I highly recommend Steve for any coin-related or collectible question, and there's probably a lot more that he can answer well, too! Call ahead or just drop in during normal hours. You'll find helpful staff, terrific service, and a welcoming place with lots of fascinating things to check out while you buy or sell. read more

Very knowledgeable. I recommend this business. Friendly, good customer service and knowledgeable. This guys been in the coin business longer than I've been alive! read more

Good guy! Knows his stuff! Done a lot of business with him in the past and always walk away happy.

Great experience, the guys behind the counter were welcoming and helpful. I loved the selection of silver and I also loved the atmosphere with the antiques all around. The only thing that I do wish I saw was some pricing on the silver they were selling and maybe the spot price of silver for the day. read more

Great shop, friendly, helpful people. Would highly recommend Pacific Coast Coin for anybody who wants to invest in metals. 5 Stars

I cannot understand this rating for this shop... someone must be getting paid to write reviews. My friend and I got sooo ripped off. DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE. We did our homework and we still allowed ourselves to get bamboozled, we are sick to our stomachs. The owner, Steve, not his wife, but the "main" man and owner really gave us the seemingly sensible speech ( which we now realize was a scammy sales pitch) about how silver is not that certain coin "sets" have depreciated. Long story short he talked us into 1/3 of the actual value of 5 sets of uncirculated silver and gold coins . He even showed us in the book. Later when we got home we realized he had skipped down a line when showing us our coins "value" so we showed our coin images to another professional coin dealer. They showed us actual purchase value. And we had received less than one third of a purchase price . Please feel free to contact me for photos and my receipt. We got TAKEN! Don't be as stupid as us. I've never written an additional review on YELP before but this company isn't even verified by Better Business as we found out when we wanted to make a complaint. read more

Both Fran and Steve are excellent to work with. My wife and I primarily work in clothing, but we come across gold items from time to time. Every time we've worked with Steve, he's provided us valuable knowledge, and has provided a fair price on our items. We've dealt with multiple companies that deal in gold over the years, and the reason why we like coming here is that Steve is a straight forward guy and provides clear information so that I as the seller can make a decision. An important point to note, is that when dealing with Gold companies, don't look up retail price and expect to get that amount, but rather look up spot or wholesale prices and you'll find that working with Steve you'll get a really great deal. Thank you Steve and Fran and hope to work with you again in the future soon! read more

We had so many coins collected thru the years with very little knowledge of their worth. I had also inherited jewelry from multiple relatives that I knew I would never wear or pass down. A friend recommended we take our "treasures" to Pacific Coast Coin. We were treated by the nicest man (owner) who took lots of time going through the jewelry and coins, patiently educating us to their value and history. We cannot express enough the great experience we had at PCC. Will definitely return whenever we find more treasures. read more

Friendly, super knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely recommended. I brought a large box of coins to Steve for evaluation, and he took the time with me to go through it all, looked up one or two that he wasn't sure of, and made me an offer. Some coins were ancient Chinese, and he reached out to an expert friend for support. I was very impressed and pleased with my experience. I can't imagine a more first rate coin business. read more

I went there to cash in various coins I inherited several years ago and pretty much got what I expected. The dude I dealt with was kind of haughty and smug, but to be fair, if I was sitting on so much gold, silver, and other metallic and paper treasures, I'd probably be kind of haughty and smug, too. Although not being a numismatic kinda guy, I did some research before going there, but still got quite an education. If you suddenly receive a bunch of old coins and want to get rid of them, take advantage of the Internet to shop around brokers (I wonder why they're called "brokers"?) and to look up coins that are unfamiliar to you, as you never know what may fall into your lap. P.S. State quarters will be worth somewhat more than a quarter about 1000 or 2000 years from now, but for the time being, use them for vending machines, laundrymats, or wishing wells. Also, if you got a $2 bill and a dollar, half-dollar, quarter, dime, nickel and penny from 1976, consider yourself fortunate that you have three dollars and ninety-one cents....at least they're still worth that. read more

Sold some gold and silver coins. Nice guy. Friendly and paid a reasonable price for the coins

This was my first time at the store. My dad is an amateur coin collector (no need to try and rob him--he does it for fun and doesn't have much.) Anyways, pops took me here today. Was kind of an adventure. It's in midtown Ventura, somewhat near Ventura high school. Store was super clean, inside and out. We walked thru the first door and then was buzzed in the second gate. Dad started talking to a guy behind the counter and I browsed the selection of coins and other currencies showcased in the store. After checking things out, I approached the counter where my dad was and I met the worker he was talking to. Steve, who was the guy working introduced himself to me and joined me in the conversation he was having about prices of silver and other precious metals. I have not been familiar with the way physical silver is priced and valued and Steve was very patient in explaining me the concepts of pricing. After a brief discussion and sharing that this was my first time, he helped me selecting a couple of pieces. I attached pictures. Steve and the other workers were extremely friendly, helpful, and seemed legit. I read the previous reviews, and honestly...can hardly believe the story in the negative review. These dudes were straight up the entire time, and did not sense any games being played. They were funny and relatable. I am super excited to start a new hobby and am happy to know we got a chill coin store in Ventura. Recommend? Yes, and I will return. read more

Stopped in for a quick question re a coin I found at an estate sale. Basically asking how to clean it up. Steve was awesome. Friendly advice with no sales pitch or anything. He even put the coin in a sleeve for me. I'll definitely go back to see Steve if I have any estate items. What a great experience. read more

Very professional staff. A plethora of knowledge. I would recommend visiting them before taking your coins elsewhere.

Pacific Coast is by far one of the best places to do business. Whether purchasing or selling, they not only go out of their way to make sure you get a more than fair deal but make sure you know it. They do so by taking the time to educate you about your coins, stones, metals or whatever it is you are wanting to know more about and will even encourage you to research others to compare. Their passion and love of coins and other collectables not only reignited my own but my son's as well. They are truly a family oriented company who makes both their community AND industry better as a whole. read more

Friendly, knowledgable and very trustworthy. I highly recommend going to Pacific Coast coin.

I highly recommend Pacific Coast Coin (Main St Ventura. Proprietor Steve is super friendly, knowledgeable and most refreshing... Honest. More than once I overheard customers that were low balled by a Santa Barbara or Oxnard shop when they were selling gold & silver coins. Steve price was more than fair and gladly accepted by the pleasantly surprised customers. There is usually gold and silver coins, rounds and bars available. Great prices for you stackers. Check out the store's unusual collectibles while there. Suite of armor, various instruments, rare movie posters, even a giant Nike basketball shoe that was Shaq's. You cannot go wrong at Pacific Coast Coin. read more

I have already told this story. I visited 8 businesses when I decided to sell my old wedding band. I was offered everything from $15 to $65. I knew the price of gold was worth more than that. The 2 worst offenders were Nerces Fine Jewelry (horrible people, don't go there) and Ventura Pawn Shop on Thompson (animals) So I walked into Pacific Coast Coin. It was a pleasure walking around and looking at the suits of armour, ancient coins and this weird dude showed up who had made a ring for them out of a silver dollar. I honestly didn't mind waiting. In the end they took my comfort fit white gold band and paid me $95. They said that it was fair market for the gold. It was somewhere between 18 and 22k. Just visit them and you'll want to buy a sweet Kennedy half dollar. read more

Firstly I'd like to say this Pacific Coast Coin shop is beautifully laid out they have a huge selection with really good prices.

Come to think of it the entire staff was actually very helpful and very patient.  I'll tell you what I'll definitely be going to Pacific coast coins for any coin for anything I need Share review Write an update read more

I recently inherited some gold coins and gold jewelry but unfortunately don't know anything about this stuff so needless to say I was a little worried about taking it to someone and them taking advantage of me. I had went to a couple different places and sure enough even though I don't know much about this stuff I could tell right away they were like vultures ready to attack me so I left. after driving by the coin shop one day and it catching my attention I decided to give it a shot. from the minute I walked in the owner made me feel completely comfortable and was completely open about everything and even took the time to teach me some things which I was shocked because here he is teaching me before making me a offer. because of this I have become very interested and find myself going by all the time to learn and chat with the owner. never made me feel pressured or that I wasn't welcome to just hang out and be apart of this new Hobby I enjoy so much Now! thank you Steve for opening this new world to me. customer for life read more

If you are going to sell any gold, go to these guys. I comparison shipped all over Ventura and this shop offers way more money than everyone else. Besides working on an obviously smaller margin, they also have a very interesting shop filled with carvings, antiques, and obviously coins. Very polite staff as well. read more
