    Friendly family staff. But what the owner offered me for my two US Mint OGP complete items was atrocious. I was able to sell them on eBay. Even after eBay fees I was able to make $70 more than the first item, and another $70 more than the second item. The first item he offered me $40 less what the Mint charged, and then offered same price I paid from the Mint for the 2nd item.

    I had a wonderful experience with Brandy. She is very knowledgeable about this market and holds client satisfaction high in priority. She first worked with me online before I made the hour drive. Her professional yet kind and patient personality made me feel at ease and confident in my decision to sell to Hertels Gold & Coin Shop. Highly recommend!

    If you've got a coin collection you need appraised, I highly reccomend here! Everyone was super nice, and the offer felt fair. If we have any more coins to sell we'll definitely be back!

    The best Gold and Coin dealer in Mchenry County. Shaun and Brandy have always taken care of me and my needs. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to own gold or to any coin collectors looking for their next great find. Thank you!

    I accidentally dialed the wrong coin shop number and Brandy answered the phone. She was friendly and interesting in looking what I was selling. Shaun and Brandy are very easy to work with. I brought gold and coins in. They are very knowledgeable and fair. I can go to a closer location but will go back to them. Thank you. Wanda

    I came across Hertel’s Coin shop when I was selling silver coins and scrap gold. Since then I go to Hertel’s Coin shop for buying gold coins and silver bullion. Brandy is very helpful in showing me the latest and greatest silver coins. Shaun has to be one of the most knowledgeable and honest coin dealers I’ve ever met. I’m glad I found this coin shop and the great people who own it.

    When I inherited my father's coin collection, I was at a loss as to where to take it for an appraisal. After trying another coin dealer, I left feeling like I wasn't quite certain that I could trust him. I saw the great reviews for Hertel's coins and paid them a visit. Shaun carefully went through each of the many coins in the collection and made me a very fair offer. When you go to a coin collector and you have limited knowledge of the value of your collection, trust is essential. I really felt that trust in Shaun and Brandy. I highly recommend them.

    Glad I stopped in at Hertels! Gold & Coin Shop today! They have a great selection of collectible coins and gold pieces. I was looking to submit coins for grading and found this local coin shop on the NGC dealer website. Friendly service and he is submitting coins for me to NGC...easy to work with!

    Highly recommend! Shaun and Brandy came out to our house to give us an appraisal. We did a great deal of research ahead of time and contacted several shops. I immediately felt comfortable during the initial phone conversation and within minutes of being in our home felt like we were talking to old friends. Shaun was incredibly thorough and based on our research the price he offered was very fair! Thankful we found Hertels!

    I visited this local coin shop to receive an appraisal on several collectible coins. Shaun, the owner, was thorough and knowledgeable regarding my coin collection and its value. I sold my coin collection to him and when I'm ready to start collecting again I'll work with Hertel's Coins.

    Nice, new shop. I have known and done business with Shawn for many years and have always found him to be a person of the highest integrity and a good honest businessman, which is not always the case in the coin and metals business. Good luck with the new store, and I wish you much success.

    I finally found a great, local coin dealer to work with. I went to another place that called themselves a coin dealer but they didn't know much about coins which was disappointing. As a coin collector, I'm glad Hertel's Coins opened up their coin shop in Lake in the Hills so I can work with someone who is upfront and knows what he's talking about when it comes to coin collecting.

  • 5/5 John Binek J. 1 year ago on Google
    Last week I went to Hertel's Gold & Coin Shop to sell an inherited coin collection. Their professional team helped me identify the items of value and provided a fair offer for those items. If you have a collection to sell or are looking to buy, I recommend you stop by this store first.

  • 5/5 Dale J. 6 years ago on Google
    Stopped in today and bought some peace dollars. I will be back, good service.

  • 5/5 Dominick P. 6 years ago on Google
    Im glad I saw this place! We almost sold this gold coin for scrap at another place, we saw Shawn & he paid us almost double scrap because he said the coin was somewhat desireable!

  • 5/5 Beth H. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a very good experience at this Coin shop. I appreciated the owner's thoroughness in looking for the value of the coins I brought in. I highly recommend this shop!

  • 5/5 Net T. 2 years ago on Google
    Saw all the great reviews and decided to check the place out, even though the location is a quite a bit of a drive for me. Was not disappointed! Wonderful, warm, and very knowledgeable service from the husband & wife duo who owns Hertels Gold & Coin shop. They answered all my questions, and made the whole process smooth & easy. Will definitely be going back.

  • 5/5 lang w. 1 year ago on Google
    Knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Can’t ask for a better coin shop.

  • 5/5 Jennifer F. 3 years ago on Google
    I've gone in to Hertel's Coins on more than one occasion and they have never disappointed me! Shaun and Brandy are knowledgeable about coins and watches and always give fair prices. A business you can definitely trust! All my business involving coins and such will continue to go to them.

  • 5/5 Amanda S. 1 year ago on Google
    A+ service! I can’t say enough about my experience here. I will definitely be back in the future.

  • 5/5 Tony N. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent shop!! I had a fair amount of my dad‘s coin collection that he no longer wanted to sell. I forget the gentleman‘s name but he was extremely friendly, very knowledgeable and transparent. Gave an offer that I felt was very fair it was honest about the coins they were not interested in and why. Would highly recommend as a trusting business to sell your unwanted coins too!!

  • 5/5 jerry m. 4 months ago on Google
    I sold some of coin collection to them and I was extremely happy with their offer but yet I was sad to have to sell my collection but I needed the money for personal reasons yet I was treated with professionalism and respect and patience thanks 😊

  • 5/5 Shank C. 1 year ago on Google
    I dealt with Sean a couple times. Out of the three different coin/gold/currency dealers that I worked with, he seemed the most fair and also gave the best offers for various items in what I needed valued and or sold. Wish I went to Hertels first.

  • 5/5 Jeffree R. 1 year ago on Google
    I just started a collection for my daughter and their knowledge made the buying process very easy. Thank you for the quality experience!

  • 5/5 Shawn H. 10 months ago on Google
    I have made purchases from Hertels coins on multiple occasions. I have always had a great experience with there service. Everything I have ordered has been shipped out fast and is exactly as advertised. I will order from them again. I have been on their What Not stream and they are always upbeat and friendly. Willing to answer questions and educate everyone. They are what everyother small business should strive to be. Keep up the great service.

  • 5/5 jeremy p. 10 months ago on Google

They deserve 10 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

  • 5/5 Mel K. 11 months ago on Google
    Hertel’s is the best local and online coin shop I have dealt with. They sell a wide variety of precious metals, bullion, and numismatic coins of excellent quality and variety. Their shipping is very well done and goes out next business day. I have dealt with them online, and on WhatNot app and could not be more pleased. Professional, kind and very honest.

  • 5/5 Dustin H. 10 months ago on Google
    Ive been purchasing coins from Shaun, Brandy, and Donna since November. Nothing but the best day in and day out! If there would be something wrong with your purchase, they’ll go above and beyond to make it right!!! Ps it’s poundtown from whatnot

  • 5/5 Rish O. 8 months ago on Google
    I stopped in Friday to sell a coin collection I unexpectedly inherited. The coin shop was busy but the owners were welcoming. I took a seat and waited about 10 minutes tops. Shaun talked to me about the collector coins I had and went over the silver and gold coins with me as well and I was comfortable with the info given. They use what is an x-ray technology of sort so while I thought some of the unmarked jewelry was costume, several pieces turned out to be 14 karat gold. I learned that the husband and wife owners of the shop are local and it was a plus to do business locally. I plan to refer business their way as friends or family need a reliable coin shop in the future. I sold the complete collection to Hertel’s Coins and I extremely please with the service provided.

  • 5/5 Angel E. 8 months ago on Google
    Brought some old coins here for a second opinion. So glad that I did because the other place I went to was giving me scrap price. The Hertels shared with me that these were worth a lot more & they would be re-selling to a collector, not melted/scrapped. Thanks my family is thankful!!

  • 5/5 mike w. 3 years ago on Google
    Shaun and Brandy were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend supporting their family run business! Their guidance and assistance managing through my family's collection was greatly appreciated. Both Shaun and Brandy were extremely helpful and made the process very easy.

  • 5/5 Adriana J. 4 years ago on Google
    Wonderful advice and service. They took time to explain along with suggesting alternative ideas to my purchase. No overselling, pressure, etc. I will return. Thank you!

  • 5/5 Austin E. 3 years ago on Google
    Very good experience. They have a good selection and variety of coins and precious metals that are priced very reasonably. I have sold them some coins and received more than I expected. I am now a repeat buyer at their shop. Friendly staff. Would recommend.

  • 5/5 Humza B. 3 years ago on Google
    I loved this place, and I am a new coin collecter! When I brought my coins, I didn't know anything, but they helped me and gave me a chart of the coins to look for. Definatly come here!

  • 5/5 Candice M. 3 years ago on Google
    Husband and wife business, very nice couple. It’s worth the drive they give the best prices!

  • 5/5 A E. 3 years ago on Google
    Good prices to buy and sell coins. Very friendly.

  • 5/5 Chris 4 years ago on Google
    I definitely recommend this place and will be a repeat customer. Saturday 3/14 was my first time buying silver and I had several questions for Shaun and his wife. They both took the time to answer my questions and helped make recommendations based on the long term strategy I am looking to achieve.

  • 5/5 t s. 4 years ago on Google
    I had a very good experience dealing with them. They gave me a good price for my coin. I am very happy and will deal with them again.

  • 5/5 Tonya J. 4 years ago on Google
    Best coin dealer in the area! Appraisal of my inherited coin collection was simple and fast. They explained to me not only coin values but also shared some history about a few of the coins. I would do business again with them and highly recommend this coin shop!

  • 5/5 Kathy W. 4 years ago on Google
    Honest and knowledgeable. Happy to have found this coin shop close to home.

  • 5/5 Georgy D. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent prices for the coins I brought. Pleasant and transparent experience.

  • 5/5 Ethan C. 4 years ago on Google
    As someone with zero knowledge about coins, it was great to have someone take care of us who was knowledgeable, and didn't make me feel dumb about what I brought in. Everything was incredibly fair, and I felt I went away smarter even about the whole coin thing, and would recommend Hertels to anyone.

  • 5/5 Nicole M. 4 years ago on Google
    The best coin shop I've every been to. I received more than ample feedback and information. Great prices and inventory.

  • 4/5 Dave S. 4 years ago on Google
    At this point this is just a review on your web contact form, since this is the easiest way for me to get in touch initially. I've filled out your form twice now, and have never have received a response. I've checked my spam folder and nothing in there. Is your web form submission broken? 5/24/19: Thanks for your reply. I may try to stop in your store tomorrow. Saturday the 25th. 6/7/19: Great experience working with Hertels. Very accommodating and seemed very knowledgeable on the coins inherited from my father. I would recommend to at least visit or call with any questions.

  • 5/5 Jill Y. 5 years ago on Google
    I was stuck with a 2 karat diamond ring after a failed engagement (totally his fault! lol) After visiting a couple local jewelers in the area a friend of mine recommended Hertel’s Coins. I was not expecting a coin shop to buy diamonds but I stopped in and to my surprise I received a great offer and parted ways with it quickly! I feel much better now after getting some money out of this deal!

  • 5/5 Joanne F. 4 years ago on Google
    My husband and I were relieved to find a coin dealer who was honest with us! We inherited a rather large coin collection and didn’t know where to turn as we don’t collect coins and don’t have time for a new hobby! Shaun and Brandy really made us feel comfortable with the transaction and we know we chose the right coin dealer to work with. I highly recommend Hertel’s Coins.

  • 5/5 K.E.J 4 years ago on Google
    Thanks for taking care of us during a stressful time. We appreciated your thoroughness reviewing our coin collection and patience with all of our questions! We'll be back soon with the gold jewelry we plan to sell. Thanks again!

  • 5/5 Kristin S. 4 years ago on Google
    Everything is what they say it is. Shipping is reasonable. Items arrive quickly.

  • 5/5 Ryan C. 4 years ago on Google
    Always super nice whenever I come in and enjoy coming here.

  • 5/5 Jon S. 4 years ago on Google
    Shaun and Brandy, thanks for taking the time to go over my father's coin collection with me. Shaun, I really appreciate you sharing your historical knowledge regarding the type of U.S. coins I had and of course the free appraisal. Brandy, my wife enjoyed speaking with you as well, we felt welcomed as if we knew you both for years! We know we received a good price for our coin collection! Should we ever have a need in the future, we'll definitely work with you!

  • 5/5 jessie S. 4 years ago on Google
    Shaun at Hertel's Coins is a good and fair business owner. I have sold coins and gold to him at his coin shop for two years now. Hertel's Coins is very easy to find close to Randall Rd. and Route 47 in Lake in the Hills. I always come here as this is the best Coin & Gold shop in the Mchenry area.

  • 5/5 Dani D. 5 years ago on Google
    I went in with some coins & cards. Very clean place and he was very knowledgeable & offered me, what I believe to have been a fair price. Thank you for being reliable & kind

  • 5/5 Julie R. 5 years ago on Google
    I am very happy with the staff and the service I received. They explained very well the reason why my items are valued at the price they were and helped me get a good deal on them. Would definitely recommend them.

  • 5/5 Debbie W. 5 years ago on Google
    Great staff! Very friendly and thorough and I'll definitely go back!

  • 5/5 Sue C. 5 years ago on Google
    It was my first time in a buy/sell shop. I felt very comfortable with the owners. They explained the process and I felt I was getting the best possible price. They had a lot of items on display that were priced very reasonable. I highly recommend them!

  • 5/5 Jonas J. 5 years ago on Google
    Sold a couple gold coins I held onto for some time and picked up a nice selection of collectible silver coins. Easy transaction, clean shop & friendly people.

  • 5/5 Angel S. 5 years ago on Google
    I inherited a coin collection and was referred to Hertel’s coins. I shopped a few different places and Shaun offered the best value for my gold and silver coins and was the most responsive. I had to travel a bit but it was worth the commute.
