Great service and very fair when purchasing coins from you! Kerry gives you the best price, I have visited other businesses that purchase coins and Kerry gives you a considerably higher amount. He is fair so you can make what you need and he can still make what he needs to be successful. Kerry is very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this business And will be back. Thanks, Donna read more

Great place to look for coins to add to your collection. I had such a fun time I came back the next day! I will refer this place to all my friends & family. read more

Very rude on the phone. The person on the phone acted like they didn't like people and wanted nothing to do with my business. I remember them being around 20+ year ago and being the same way. I'll never give them another try. If I were you I'd look for someone respectfully to their customers. Btw it's a dump read more

The professionalism and courtesy of this shop was amazing. Knowledge and informative. Great experience. This guy is the best. read more

I asked him the value of some coins.He assumed I wanted to sell them then proceeded to try to rob me told me that my san francisco proof Eisenhower's didn't have silver in them and that they were worth $10. WOW they clearly say silver dollar on the proof don't waste your time here read more

Great place to sell or buy your precious metals. Does not low ball you. Owner is super friendly.

Went there today with my brother. Kerry was very nice and easy to work with. Sold some things and was very happy. Will go back and do more business in the near future. read more

Called them today Dec 8th 2025 and asked about some Special pennies, his first words were Fuck you and hung up on me.....I called him back and whyvd I d you say that to me, he told me to Fuck off read more

Very efficient customer service. Handled each item once, used a magnifying glass on a few coins and made me a firm offer. I traded roughly the same amount of coins and metals elsewhere and this place offered me 20% more than I got. Good value trade for me. read more

They made the sale of my father in-laws stamps and coins so easy. Thank you again for everything g

At first I was scared from low ratings and I didn't expected much BUT after visiting and talking with Kerry...man, by far the greatest experience that I've had with gold and coin shops. Fair price on silver and gold. I would highly recommend you coming here!!! read more

This place is awesome. Military friendly and just all around great people!!! i was able to get the 2024 Silver Eagles I was looking for at a GREAT Price.... could not be more happy. Kerry doesn't artificially mark up his prices and took the time to get to know ME... a rare commodity in this day and age!!! I sincerely look forward to buying here again real soon!!! read more

Had a great experience selling my dad's collection. Was very nice and honest. Gave me great advice. Other two coin places I went to were clearly not as knowledgeable or friendly. I will be going back! read more

New owner has put put a lot of work into cleaning the store and the store reputation. Old owner wasn't a bad guy, just got old and complacent. Kerry is honest and professional. Remember, it is a business and they've got to make a living. read more

I did some business with Kerry a few months ago.. He was very informative and competitive. I would highly recommend Riverside Stamp & Coin read more

I went into the shop today ... I was immediately greeted by Lee. Judging by his welcome he must be the owner.. well it just got better from there . I told him I had a couple of pieces of good I wanted to sell . He was quick to introduce himself and looked at the items .. he made me an offer without probing me for a figure ( that was very refreshing) his price was very fair and frankly the highest offer I had received from 2 other retailers .. very nice , friendly and fair and I will return to Riverside Stamp and coin again to give Lee my business... Sincerely George read more

I have been going to Riverside Coins and Boullion (formerly Riverside Stamp & Coin) ever since Kerry took over ownership. He and his staff are very friendly and attentive to each customer whether you're buying or selling. Sometimes, if they are busy, you may need to wait a couple of minutes for your turn but once it is you turn you will get 100% attention until your transaction is complete. I have been both a buyer and a seller. Kerry always tries to get you the best price for your precious metals based on current market valuations and he has always set his sales prices on coins to very competitive rates and best of all he is willing to negotiate to meet your budget! Looking forward to next visit and new inventory to shop for! read more

Fabulous new owners - we went in and they took so much time to explain a couple coins we had, and they made an offer that was very fair. Although we didn't originally take the offer two days later my wife went back to sell her coin and he was just as nice the second time around and took just as much time. NEW OWNERSHIP... I can't remember the gentleman who was helping with the baseball cards but he took just as much time to educate me about the older baseball cards and what to look for etc. they have some great cards too! read more

Have been going to Craig for years and he has given me great deals. Hes also a dog lover and a good guy Dr. JC read more

People were caught them at the wrong time (lunch) but even then i only waited 10min nade a deal. Lots to look at so the 10 min was not a long enough read more

I understand that a lot of people have had a bad experience with the previous owner. HOWEVER, I would encourage everyone to give this new owner a fair shake. My father bought several coins for a celebration for me and when I asked him the price. they were more than fair. I met Kerry at a coin show and he offered coins at a very competitive price. He is also very knowledgeable and knows his craft. Those who are selling coins understand that this is a business, they need to make money too. Regardless I know that Kerry would offer a competitive price if it's in demand. Give this place a chance. read more

I stopped by to try and purchase a gift for my son's fatherhood ceremony. Kerry hooked me up with two gifts- one for my son and one for his new son! Two silver dollars that were 100 years apart from each other. I can't wait to see my son's face when I give them to him. Kerry is very personable and knowledgeable. read more

Riverside Stamp & Coin Shop - Two Beautiful sets of coins - Hobby Shops Near Me - Riverside, California

I have plenty of well worth cards including Hank Aaron Willie Mays, Babe Ruth. I tested the waters at this place with various cards that weren't THAT valuable. But each card he priced with cents, literally. Don Mattingly Roomie except a $300 Kobe Bryant, Bo Jackson Classic card, BarryBonds Rookie card, Mark Mcwire Gold cup card..and totop it all off he said my 1st round draft pick Frank Thomas was worth 0.60. Just warning you all not to go here. I went here as a kid so it's disappointing to see how he tries to scam people. Chasing money gets you nowhere in life. read more

My father and I have gone to see Craig and do business at Riverside Coins for years. Before my father passed away every time I came to visit from Napa Valley we would make sure to come see Craig and hunt for deals. He has always been fair and reasonable with his prices. Look forward to stopping by next time I am in the Inland Empire! Ed Wellington read more

I've been trying to get in this shop for months, pre C word even. Finally i called and they said they were open. I asked if they had silver because it's hard to come by and the gentleman confirmed they did. I walk in to a mass of awesomeness and waited my turn patiently while an elderly woman sold them $14 worth of old coins. Came my turn... "hi i'd like to purchase some silver" "oh we don't have any. it's impossible to find" (i've bought lots recently) Thanks for wasting my time. read more

Have tried to check out the shop for a long time. On this date I found it open and that may not have been a good thing. It seems to have been here for many years. There lots of things everywhere from older trading card boxes and sets, to vinyl and video cassettes. There is very little room to move around and look at stuff. It has lots of stuff, nothing that interested me. Lack of being able to walk around and fact I walked in and was in store for 5 minutes, saw 2 older gentleman, neither asked if I needed help or even said a word to me. Wouldn't waste time to try and go back. read more

See all

This place is now called Riverside Coin & Bullion on Magnolia. Under new ownership. Kerry Pieropan is very nice sincere, honest, friendly and professional and knowledgeable and courteous! I'll recommend it to everyone! read more

Beware of the huge online bullion companies! After a Month of waiting for my coin shipment , I had to resort to a complaint to the Better Business Bureau and threaten a case to the LA District Attorney's Office ! I fully trust Kerry at his business, SUPPORT him !!! read more

"Their dog legit bit me" I have not had good experiences here in the past, but it has been a while and I thought I would pop in while I was passing by. I don't know what has happened but the store is a disaster - stuff is everywhere, disorganized. I don't know why they haven't hired some help to clean up and organize - but, I waited my turn and eventually Craig asked how he could help. I asked to see the bucket of dimes and go through them. He asked how many I wanted but I said I wanted to go through so I could pick out the ones I needed for my book. He responded with "oh, no no no no", and put them back in the case. He said they are for bulk only. I said I was looking for specific ones so I didn't want to buy them in bulk. He said he had something in the back and returned with some of the blue-foldered books with dimes in them. I thought I was going to look through and pick some out but he told me I have to buy the whole book. - This doesn't make collecting coins very easy at all... I looked through a couple of nickels and eventually he said I could look through the dimes. I was really appreciative but also felt uncomfortable. It feels like I'm inconveniencing him just trying to buy some coins for my collection. I understand that many people want to buy and sell silver but maybe just open up a silver and gold shop instead of a coin shop. I picked out the ones I wanted and paid. When I was leaving, their poodle started barking at me and jumping on me, digging its nails into my back and arms. I'm just trying to leave. Then, it nipped at me. I'm still trying to get the door open and their dog legit bit me - full teeth, not just a little nibble. I'm already feeling uncomfortable - like my business isn't really important. The store is so disorganized and messy. And I was bit by their dog. That is beyond inappropriate. Even with the difficulty I might have returned, but not now. Something needs to be done. I recognize that the dogs offer protection, but should not be doing it at the expense of biting customers - and there is no way I'm the first person who has been bit. I wouldn't have written this review but being bit by your dog is not okay. read more

First off, I used to visit this coin shop on a regular basis throughout the early 1980s until the early 1990s with my late father. For that reason, it is always been a very sacred place filled with memories. In the past week, I decided to go by and meet the new owners and I was fortunate enough to meet Kerry. I had some silver that I wanted to sell, and while he was evaluating the silver, we swapped some stories with each other. Not only was my experience just like it was with the previous owners, but it was even greater with the new owner. Kerry was kind, honest and professional. This is your go to shop to not only buy amazing offerings they have but to also sell your precious metals if you are doing so. Honesty and integrity is very tough to find these days but it was given and demonstrated within the first seconds of meeting Kerry. Highly recommended to everyone out there that is either looking to buy or sell. read more

New owner is wonderful. He's turned the place around. Real fair on a collection we sold! Previous owner was rude, but the fresh new face is great! read more

Good prices on gold and silver. The owners stock varies depending on the week because he's always buying and selling. They pair fair prices for what they do buy. They do have some cool pieces. Worth checking out. read more

Great place to stop by when in town. If you are a collector or just someone looking for that special something... Riverside Stamp and Coin is the place to go. Craig is a nice guy with history and story's for just about anyone. The guy loves what he does, you won't be disappointed with his sense of humor and humble personality. I really enjoyed doing business with him and will continue to stop by, if not for buying or selling... but the over all experience. Thanks again! read more

Absolutely LOVE Riverside Stamp & Coin in the Brockton Arcade. Whenever I pay a visit, I wind up staying for hours! Craig is a hoot! Hes a music lover and afficionado. He knows everything! I'm pretty adept in music (for a girl!) He turns on the Stores TV and starts quizzing me!! Stamp & Coin is as unique as you can get. They've got everything in there. I was fortunate enough on one visit to be taken on a tour of the store. Amazing. Eclectic. Unusual. Curious. Interesting. That's exactly what they've got for you in their jam-packed location! Yes they've got stamps and coins. They've also got a whole lot of other items, including one of-a-kinds, collectibles, trading cards, dolls, art, statues, decor. You name it and it's most likely there! And it doesn't hurt that he and his wife are super duper folks! They've had a LONG run at their Riverside location. When I go in there I can't help but suspect that their retirement is nearing. As it is, they drive up from San Diego every single day to open the doors to the public! That's crazy! I got to know them pretty well over the years. I will surely shed a tear when they decide to close up. It'll be a sad day for Riverside indeed. 5 Stars. I'd give 10 if I could! Thanks to you both . You helped me out a couple times by purchasing some of my stuff when I was down on my luck. Businesses don't do that for their customers. But Riverside Stamp & Coin DID! You and your staff are wonderful human beings! read more

Craig the owner of this coin shop is one great person too know and do business with. If you ever need to buy precious metals then I would go here as he is a very fair man and a joy to get to know and talk with. This guy has a lot of knowledge and is actually a good time when you go down there. He has a ton of other goodies to look at and also to buy! I always end up buying some CD's to play in the car on the way home after buying some good ol silver, ha! NESARA... Martin from Corona read more

This place has been ripping off sellers for years. When I was a kid I brought in some mint condition confederate notes from $10-$50. He told me and a friend they were not worth much and gave us 50 cents a piece for them. I went back weeks later and found them for sale from $20. to $50.00 each. I later got a dime from them sold to me for almost $6.00. Went back months later to see what it was worth and the guy told me it was very common and that he would give me 15 cents. This was back in the mid 1970's. Looks like be relatives of original owners. read more

Poor service, rude, and terrible business practice. My girlfriends grandmother had recently passed and we found her stamps she's been saving since the 50s. All we asked is if we could get some insight of the value of the stamps. All he said, and kept saying, is that any modern stamps will have to be added up and will be bought at half of face value. He absolutely refused to help us determine the value of any of the stamps. He wouldn't even look at the stamps. We kept asking how do we determine the age and he would respond with "the book they are in should have a date". They were loose stamps and he still refused to help. And then he had the nerve to tell us to use them when we mail out letters. I myself had brought in my late grandfathers coin collection. It wasn't much, but he had invest quite a bit into the collection. I open up the case and he didn't even look at what I had brought in, just saw that I had sets of minted coins. All he said was "Each set is about five bucks" I've sold duplicates of three of the sets in the past and got $250. Not to mention the toothless old man that was screaming into the phone at someone because he didn't want to use a computer to change his pin. Will never return to this shop ever again. read more

Why do people even bother with this place?! My mom came in here and stood at the counter waiting to be helped. The man behind the counter was helping another customer and clearly saw her, but yet didn't say anything to her (no we'll be right with you, no greeting or anything). So, after the customer left, the man behind the counter left the area with my mom still standing their patiently waiting to be helped.She has been next to the customer that had left so he knew she was there. It became overwhelmingly clear that this employee (or owner) did NOT want to help my mom. My mom insists it was because she was black. After seeing the other reviews here, it appears that the people who work here and/or the owner(s) just flat out suck. They could be racists, I dunno, but they don't treat their customers/potential customers well at all. I would not spend money on any business that treats people this way. read more

My 6 year old son received a jar of coins from his great Grandmother for Christmas and has been wanting to start a coin collection for about a year, so my husband and myself brought him into this coin shop. I have never been so disappointed in my life! First my son was so shy it took all he had to just ask for help, when the man finally came over, my son told him he was interested in starting a coin collection starting with these coins he had received for Christmas and that he needed to know how. The man picked up the jar of coins and rudely said "these coins are worthless, I sell coins like these- 12 for a dollar". It took all I had in me to not respond negatively like I wanted to. I asked the man if there were coin sleeves or other ways to organize the coins to help him start collecting. The man said " If you have to, just put them in jars by size". This was such and awful experience for my son... What kind of person responds negatively and discourages a child when they are interested in doing something healthy like collecting coins. So because my 6 year old son does not have hundreds of dollars worth in coins he should just give up and not start a collection? I just don't get why he was so mean and negative! And to make it all worse, my son was so saddened by the situation he went home and put his coins back on his shelf and said "maybe it wasn't a good idea to try and be a coin collector". It broke my heart to see my little Cub Scout so discouraged, like he wasn't good enough to collect coins anymore. read more

Rudest people ever. I called them ahead before going, made sure they are open. Once I arrived there the guy (in the photo with the dog) said "we are closing now, come after an hour" I told him I'm not from riverside, I drove 50 miles; then he said come another day... How rude. read more
