I love Golden Isles Coin store the help is great it reminds me of the TV show Pawn Stars because the people are so friendly there. I would give it 10 stars
WARNING: NEITHER BUY NOR SELL FROM THIS VENDOR.
Here is my experience with this business. A couple of weeks ago I went to the store for the first time to see their selection and prices. When I buy PM I always ask the seller about his buy back policy. So I asked the salesman and he said it's "$1 below the spot." Very well, I said and left. I never buy when I do my first "reconnaissance" visit. Thanks to my grandpa who taught me a couple things EVERY buyer of PMs should know. So today I called the store and asked about their present buying price. Imagine my surprise when instead of hearing $1,392 which was $1 off the COMEX gold price on their website ticker, the salesman asked me "what kind of gold" I had. Oh, oh... I though, thank you grandpa. Let's see what happens next. So I say to the guy I have some Krugerrands and Buffalows. He pretends using his calculator and gives me this: $1,366. $27 below the spot! How come? I say . The gentleman I talked with about your buying policy said it's $1 below the spot. So the guy yells at me "What?! Do you know that gold dropped $46 OVERNIGHT? But I don't care how much gold dropped "overnight". I am asking about your buy back POLICY? DO YOU HAVE ONE? And by the way I'm looking right now at the KINCO and your tickers and they both have the spot price of $1,393. How come you offer me $1,366 for a BU BUFFALO?! At this point the guy realizes that I was not born yesterday, so he says: I have a lot of this stuff now I don't need more and blah-blah-blah.
That's all I wanted to say. I hope potential PM buyers and sellers will find my story useful...
Paid more than 3 others !!! Sell to them. I went to 3 other gold and coin buyers in the Raleigh area but my 4th stop was Golden Isles Coins. There i was taken care off right away. The first guy check my gold rings will another guy looked at my coins. The gold was figured out first and at higher prices than the last 3 so called scrap gold buyers. I said that was okay to sell. Then the other guy came back and told me i had a rare half dollar in my box of coins. ( he looked at it under a mircoscope). That 1 coin he was giving me $225 for it !!! My next highest offer from the others buyers was only $100 for all my coins !!! Wow these guys are great. In total i left with over $1,000 and a huge smile. I will tell all my family,neighbours, and friends about Golden Isles Coins.
KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HELPFUL SALESMEN WHEN BUYING GOLD AND SILVER. I bought gold and silver from them. When I started comparing prices, I called them first, then called several other places. At Golden Isles Collectibles they were the most knowledgeable, considerate and helpful. I highly recommend them.
my favorite coin shop. This place has great service.I buy from them at least 3-5 times about every weekend. Know where else can compare
