Stopped again as I was in the area and had a few times pieces I wanted Christian to take a look at as well as some precious metals that were just taking up space and collecting dust. The customer service Christian provides is stellar and he is a joy to chat with. I spent a little time at the shop as Christian looked at the items I brought in and gave me a fair assessment. His prices are ways fair and he is totally transparent. I also spent time looking at the memorabilia he has in the shop. His guard dog also greeted me upon arrival and has a terrific demeanor as well. If you are interested in precious metals or have some sitting in a drawer collecting dust you must stop in and see Christian. Highly recommended read more

It can be difficult to find a vendor that you truly trust when selling or buying a valuable asset. Christian and Quicksilver came through a recommendation of a friend. I also did research to find competing businesses that got great reviews and Quicksilver came out on top. When I first saw Christian, I didn't take in all of my collection, only a few pieces to see how things went. My first experience was excellent, fair, and easy. He never takes your merchandise to a back room out of your sight. As I used him for subsequent transactions I saw how he treated all his customers, no matter how small or large their transaction. Christian is that rare business owner that sincerely cares and treats each individual with importance. I would highly recommend Quicksilver for both buying and selling. read more

First and most importantly, the owner Christian is one of the most genuinely kind, generous, and passionate people working in any south OC business that you'll encounter. I was gifted some coins and brought my parents in so we could talk to him together. Christian went above and beyond to help us understand what we had and had such interesting things to say about the coins. I especially appreciated it because these were more connected to my mom, and he explained more than we ever knew about the coins. I just want to reiterate: if you bring in one coin or a thousand, you will be treated the same. The knowledge and care extolled by Christian is beyond regular customer service. He truly cares about the stories that come with the coins. We had such a great experience. I can't recommend this shop highly enough. We left feeling like we found something special with this place. If you have some coins you want an expert to look at, don't hesitate. read more

Christian is not only honest he's a good person and extremely knowledgeable. Always a pleasure doing business with him.

Highly recommend Quicksilver Coin Company. We visited a couple of other vendors and realized the service, knowledge, and value were found here. read more

This review is going to be in 3 parts: The business, the owner, and the dog. 1.) The business: I recently became interested in bullion/precious metals. I searched around on the phone and in person throughout Orange County before making my first ever silver purchase. I also perused online dealers. With premiums, shipping (and tax depending), there's no benefit to buying bullion online vs at Quicksilver. In just the past month since I started stacking, I've spent over $6,000 at Quicksilver buying silver bullion. The shop has had the exact inventory I've sought every single time. Other shops in the county (including BIG ones) require a $5,000 minimum spend for silver AND don't even have what you want in stock (they place an order for you). Same for online dealers. Who wants that?? I walk into Quicksilver with my $$, and walk out holding my bullion in my hand. Period. Additionally, while comparing premiums, Quicksilver is reasonable. Better than many other local shops, and better than online dealers. Not the absolute lowest you'd find vs dealing with a sketchy individual purchase... but fair considering the comparative market, knowing your bullion is real/quality, and being able to simply walk in and walk out with the product in hand in a professional and timely manner. 2.) The owner: Christian is my type of guy. I nerd out on my interests, and I've done this with precious metals. Christian is passionate and educated in all facets, whether it be the metals themselves, history, industrial uses, hobby/collecting, or economic/inflationary topics with the metals. He's more than willing to answer questions and shoot the sh*t talking about this stuff with you, and he even showed me how his thermo gun works (neat stuff). If an emotional/hurried customer walks in behind you, he won't rush you out if you're chatting to serve them. BUT if you want to just get in and out of the shop, he's quick and to the point/all business. No frills with this guy. I'm not into coins, but he seems to be extremely educated in numismatics (if that's your thing). He must have a good relationship with wholesalers and refiners, because he just has the goods on hand at fair prices, unlike other stores. 3.) The dog. Augie is his pitbull and right-hand man, a fixture in the shop. I get excited to pet his big ole head, and my wife comes with me to make purchases just to see Augie. I enjoy Augie just as much as I enjoy handling the metals and picking Christian's brain! This will be my forever spot for my bullion needs! read more

Easy straight-forward experience. Went by this afternoon to sell a coin and was in and out in just a few minutes. A lot of pretty neat stuff in the shop too! read more

I found some old coins and wasn't sure of their value. Christian was great and showed me how he looked them up and gave me a very fair price. Also gave me a contact for my stamp collection. And the dog is an added bonus in the shop! read more

Stopped in here for my first time to sell a few Silver coins, cool hidden spot that's pretty one of a kind. Christian was very knowledgeable & friendly during my transaction. Got a solid price for my silver & I can tell he has passion for collecting. Will most definitely be returning again! read more

Education, service, and great prices. Has coins and bills for all collectors and collections. Christian is honest and treats you with respect. Highly recommend this store. read more

Highly recommended. I read on a local Facebook group how fair and honest the owner was. Christian was so easy to talk to and informative in all the silver flatware i had inherited and wanted to get rid of. I feel he was very fair and honest and I was so happy to get a nice little profit. read more

I was looking for a honest and reliable business to turn in some silver coins and ended up going to Quicksilver Coin Company based on the reviews and a phone call with the owner - Christian. I was pleased beyond expectations. Christian is truly a genuine and honest person. I was familiar with current bulk silver coin prices and Christian quickly ascertained their value and paid a more than fair value for the coins. It was a very pleasant experience as customer service and satisfaction are priority one at Quick Silver Coin Co. read more

I am fairly new to coin collecting. That being said, I am aware of who to purchase from and who not to purchase from. Christian is always a straight shooter. I've always felt I've got a very good deal when selling or buying. I will be purchasing for many years to come from him. read more

I had the best experience here and could not recommend this establishment more! I brought in some coins to get a valuation with the possibility of selling and Christian not only walked me through the value of each but offered an extremely fair price should I want to sell. The experience spoke of a business whose staff are well versed in the world of coins, truly enjoy what they're doing, and want their customers to have a quality experience when dealing with their shop. If you have coins or jewelry you want a fair valuation on and are looking to sell and receive an extremely fair price for - this shop is your place! read more

Christian was awesome explaining the value of my many inherited silver coins. He gave me a tip on calling other silver coin buying companies which saved me time/gas. After several calls to local companies, Christian's offer was the best and I went back and completed the deal. I also sold off some silver coins I had collected in my youth. If/When I'm in the market to buy some silver or gold, I will definitely go back to Quicksilver Coin company! You should too! read more

I was amazed how friendly and knowledgeable Christian was. Of course with top notch customer service. You have a customer for life !!! read more

We inherited some coins and had no idea what they were worth. Christian was very personable and professional. Highly recommend.

Super knowledgeable owner wants to educate his customers while they shop. Good selection and reasonable prices of coins and collectibles

I have gone Quicksilver coin to sell gold to Christian a few times now and I gotta say he is very honest and forthcoming. During one of our transactions I brought in a piece of Jewelry for my wife which she told me was pure Platinum. However when Christian took a look at it he said it wasn't Platinum and that it was in fact white gold and that it was actually worth more than if it was Platinum. He gave me a good price for it and we got the deal done. If selling or buying precious metals or collectibles I would recommend this business 100%! read more

My daughter,9, found some "valuable/rare" coins after researching online. Knowing absolutely nothing about coins, we found Quicksilver Coin Co. in Lake Forest. I let my daughter run the convo with Christian (who's gotta be the owner) and he spent tons of time explaining/educating us on what to look for. He had multiple other customers/business transaction complete, but for him to walk us through the process is rare nowadays. This place is really cool and I'll be coming back!! I witnessed at least 3 other people thanking Christian. read more

Christian is the man. Extremely knowledgeable, charismatic and down to earth. Every time I come in I learn something new. He is also a very honest man and that's much appreciated because I feel like some LCS's aren't that honest. read more

Made me feel very comfortable Very knowledgeable and I appreciate his expertise He answered all my questions with respect read more

Just started to stack again and I gotta say, Christian never disappoints. He's always fair and honest with his pricing. I can always give him a quick call about what he has and always has an answer. I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone who's into precious metals. read more

Great experience. Fair trade practices. Plan on doing business with them for all my good pursues in the future.

Christopher who owns the establishment is the most honest individual I have ever come across in Selling my gold jewelry .He is honest to A T. I went to a few other establishments to check things out, this guy is stand up all the way. read more

Went in to ask about some coins and dollars I found after my mom passed away. They really weren't worth anything but WOW did I get an education. Christian was an Awesome wealth of knowledge. If you are looking to sell Gold, invest in Silver or maybe a neat collectible I would for sure come see this guy! Rock on Quicksilver! G read more

My mom and I have made a few trips after finding stashed coins from my deceased step dad. Christian is always super frindly, helpful and came in above what others offered us when we sold. Good dude! Also, great dog!! Thank you, again!! read more

I'm not a coin collector so when I decided to liquidate a coin collection I inherited from my father, I did some online research but still had lots of questions about the value of the coins and the best way to maximize their sale. I couldn't be more pleased that I went to Quicksilver for answers and met Christian. He is very friendly, laid back and extremely knowledgeable. He patiently took the time to answer my questions, explain which coins had value and why, the current realities of the silver market and the economics of selling coin collections in the age of Ebay and online auctions. There was no pressure to make any decision to sell to him and he didn't hesitate to point out the pros and cons of exploring other options. Talking to him was an education and his information helpful in making an informed decision. However, what impressed me the most was his honesty and the transparency in his offers. His offers were reasonable and more than fair on each occasion when I decided to sell some coins. I found him to be trustworthy and a pleasure to deal with, so I've been a repeat customer and highly recommend Christian and Quicksilver Coin as a place to do business read more

Some coin shops are good, far fewer are great. Great is when every transaction feels like a win-win and you earn my continued repeat business for years and years so I'll recommend your services to my family and friends as well. The owner whose name is Christian has very fair prices on buying and selling, and is a very down-to-earth person to talk to. I know people can buy and sell online these days to get good deals, and I've done my fair share, but having an honest LCS (Local Coin Shop) you can actually trust and do business with IN PERSON is extremely valuable to a local community's social fabric and economy. Give him an opportunity to earn your business like me! And say hello to the dog too! Well done! read more

Love, love, love Christian! Honest, knowledgeable and reasonable! I couldn't say more about our experience in the purchase of our gold coin. What an enjoyable, educational experience we had. He is really informed and willing to educate! read more

What a great guy to deal with. We brought Christian a 30lb box of unorganized stuff my dad had collected for years. He organized it, explained why each item was worth what it was and made a generous offer for the lot, even gave us options and advice if we wanted to sell it elsewhere. Great conversation during the 90 minute process as well. He also has the sweetest pit bull I've ever met...maybe because his chakras are aligned (I'm told). I'd give Quicksilver 10 stars but Yelp cuts me off at 5. read more

Felt very comfortable and safe in the store! Christian checked my gold content of some gold chains I inherited free of charge. Fantastic selection of silver gold sports collectables. They still have silver maples at very competitive prices. I enjoy coming to Quicksilver and hope to be back for more silver coins thanks read more

Easy purchase experience. Owner is firmly and honest. Will buy from local seller in the future.

Great guy been there a lot always has a cool story to tell. he has a cool dog I got pretty cool things there. I recommend it to buy or to sell he knows his stuff. read more
