Brian Andrew is the epitome of class, professionalism, and expertise in his field. It was his…read moreabosolutely stellar reviews that caught my attention but what really told me I was headed to the right place was his location and the fact that his address is 333 and his office is in one of the most incredibly beautiful and historical buildings in the nation. Brian not only took me in without an appointment or a prior phone call, which I'm learning is customary for this world of precious metals and coins. It felt incredibly prestigious to visit him in that phenomenal location and to learn from a man that's been in silver and gold trading since before I was born... and I'm getting to be pretty darn old! He didn't try to give me a lowball offer and I felt no need to negotiate or put my "shields up" as I tend to need to do with most businessmen. I feel honored to trade with him and got to see some really cool, historical, incredibly rare items and walk away with a bit of cash in my pocket. I just hope that now I've found my go-to silver, gold, palladium, & platinum bullion & coins guru that he'll keep doing business for a good while longer... cause I feel I have a trustworthy expert that I can soak up his knowledge and wisdom & share cool shiny things with one another. Don't waste your time looking up anyone else in the area... Brian Andrew and Associates is your coin and precious metals bullion no-brainer pick of the litter! Give him a call, you'll know instantly why I've been so effusive about him and his business when he picks up. Tell him his new pal Jason sent you

I came to Keith on a recommendation from a family friend and I'm so glad I chose him over anyone else. Keith really knows his stuff, and above all else he is fair in his offers. He is friendly as well and takes time to thoroughly explain everything to his clients. He is also incredibly honest which was hard for me to find in estate buyers. He told me what to sell on eBay and helped me maximize my profit. He also told me to keep sentimental things. I highly recommend working with A&R Estate Buyers for any estate sales. I don't write reviews often, but Keith really deserves more than he has.

I was pretty picky in my wedding band and Calvin walked me through various options, what the durability and wear would look like and since I was looking for yellow diamonds, he helped me select a band where the yellow hue would be vibrant.

I walked in there a couple of years back b/c I conveniently work near there and I purchased some gold and silver. The 2nd time I walked in, one of the guys I usually see demanded to know my first and last name. I did not have an issue with this since I am not hiding and I figured he already knew my name. Before the purchase could be completed, he took out a pen and paper and demanded to know the exact spelling...this was strange. He also requested an ID to photocopy for a "money laundering" check. I told him that was ridiculous as I wasn't selling anything and I was buying retail products they were selling with cash. Eventually after threatening to walk out, we made the sale all while this guy was jotting down more on his pad. I have a colleague who is an avid coin collector (has coins from ancient Greece to modern day US Mint) and I had been meaning to ask him if he goes to this place but never got around to it as I purchased there a couple of times more times without incident and I felt I was getting the usual customer treatment. The final time I went in there, I didn't have time to go to the bank so I had to use a credit card. This chubby younger guy behind the counter asked to see me id. I gave it this time b/c I figured he just wanted to see if my name matched the credit card...fair.. no one likes credit card fraud. But then he started writing down all the information. When I asked him why he was doing this, he said "money laundering." I again told him I was not selling anything and was a retail customer buying THEIR merchandise off the shelf just as I do at Walmart and Costco but they don't accuse me of money laundering!! We got into a big argument until I finally left as he told me he needed to put my information in data base in order for me to buy there. When I finally got around to asking my colleague about that place, he went hysterical and said "DON'T GO THERE! THOSE GUYS ARE CROOKS!" He told me they trick ppl into giving their info for "money laundering" and sell it to data brokers and ppl search sites. He also said the community knows it as an IRS roach motel. Almost aanyone who buys there past a quantity and is foolish enough to give there information, gets an instant audit. Obviously with selling there are rules. Like a pawn shop, they need your info in case the items you sold are stolen. BUT DON'T BE SO SPITEFUL TOWARDS YOUR CUSTOMERS that you lie to them to make more money off of them by tricking them into giving you there personal information! Lastly, my friend told me if you are a coin collector and want to buy coins at a good price, just go to ebay.
