    Buyers beware. I purchased a coin here which I was told had a unique tint to it. I paid spot price for silver plus a decent premium. Long story short, I went to sell the coin I purchased from here probably a year ago. Turns out it was made of bronze. Zero silver content at all. This place will take every measure possible to make sure what you are selling is authentic. I suggest to do your due diligence when purchasing from this location as well.

    Went here today with my father's stamp collection. As we are not hobbyists ourselves, we appreciated how generous they were with their wealth of knowledge. They made us feel welcome the very moment we stepped into their store, although we had so many questions and were clearly out of our element with the collection we brought in. Although we did not make a sale, they welcomed us to come back with more of our father's stamps. They were honest with the value and we felt this place very definitely trustworthy.

    FINALLY! A friendly and honest coin dealer! We met with Rich today to see what our 12 gold coins were worth. He was so 'up front' and 'above board' I can't say enough good things. I think we got a very honest estimate and will definitely be taking all future business to AC&SB.

    Whether you are looking for stamps, coins, precious metals, or other collectables, ACSB should be your one stop shop. Rich & Eric are extremely knowledgeable across many different areas and are super easy to work with.

    Met with Rich today for information regarding my father and grandfather’s stamp collections. Rich was very informative, patient and thorough with us and he provided us with professional advice and honesty. We strongly recommend this family owned and operated company, American Coin & Stamp Brokerage, for your collection needs.

    I brought my Grandfathers stamp collection to the American Coin and Stamp Brokerage in Merrick which he started in Germany when he was a teenager. He had over 20 albums and 100’s of stamps in a shoe box. I knew that I brought it to the right place. Rich was extremely knowledgeable and taught me a lot about the stamps that my Grandfather collected. Rich was very helpful and honest and there is no other store that I would even think about going to. Thank you again..

    Having inherited a few coins, we decided to get an idea of their value. Just by chance, and it being so local, we found American Coin and Stamp Brokerage in Merrick. This place is great! They have coins and stamps galore, but also many other collectibles; beer steins, art, Grumman memorabilia and toy trucks just to name a few. It is a family owned business, and we had the pleasure of meeting with Richard. He carefully examined each item, explained what he was looking for and at, then assigned a value to each. What we appreciated most was his willingness to educate us, taking the time to answer questions. His knowledge and professionalism was outstanding! Looking forward to doing business with them again!

    Went in to sell some silver dollars and other old coins and the service was great! They were very knowledgeable about all of the coins that i brought in and did a great job of explaining to me the value of the coins as well as what to look for with my coins. They gave a very good price and the entire experience was informative and enjoyable. I would recommend them to anyone.

    This was by far the most professional and insightful coin shop on Long Island! They are very friendly and take their time to educate you on what you’re purchasing and what you’re selling. They demonstrated superlative skills of expertise on their items and were very fair on the prices. We will definitely be coming back to do more business with American Coin & Stamp Brokerage. Kind regards, The Garretts

    American Coin and Stamp Brokerage is the best family owned collectible store in Nassau County. The owners and staff are honest, knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. I have been collecting ancient coins for the past 10 years and I will only trust the authenticity of coins that come from their shop. Rich has an extensive knowledge of ancient coins and he taught me, not only about collecting them, but also about the history attached with each coin as well. Thanks to them, I have many rare coins that I would not have been able to find anywhere else including two that were documented for their rarity: a coin from emperor Titus that was documented as 1 of 3 known specimens and the other is a coin from emperor Hadrian from Roman Egypt and that has been the only one documented. They also have some very good early American coins from the late 1700s. Both Rich and Eric really take their time to go over everything that comes into the store to make their customers only receive the best material for any collection, and they really take their time to treat every customer with the utmost respect and dignity. I will continue doing business with ACSB and encourage anyone looking to start a collection to come to their store.

    I stopped by today to sell some silver bullion. I had the pleasure of working with Eric. He was very friendly and has a great personality. I got a fair price for my bullion and was very happy with the experience. I recommend this place to anyone looking to buy or sell precious metals.

    I am late giving this review but I echo all of these great comments! I went in with my sister a few months ago for some advice on an inherited coin collection. We were treated very nicely and received good information!

    Been coming here on and off for years with family coins. The owner is always very informative. Didn't rush us and took ALOT of time with us to expalin value and quality. I would hightly recommed them for all your coin and stamp needs.

  • 5/5 Hugo B. 3 years ago on Google
    I stopped by last week to get information regarding a coin my father had saved for years. Eric and Rich were super helpful, knowledgeable, and waited around for me, even though it was close to closing time. They both educated me quite a bit about my father's coin, and although it turned out to be a replica, it was a good lesson on the history of the coin. The shop has pretty interesting things to check out as well. Certainly recommend!!!

  • 5/5 Jen M. 2 years ago on Google
    I’m glad I found this place. Eric is personable, trustworthy, knowledgeable and very helpful. I appreciate his patience and kindness in answering all of my questions (and there were many!). I also appreciate that he made sure I was comfortable and confident with my purchase before finalizing the transaction. I highly recommend this store

  • 5/5 David M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great shop that I stumbled across and I’m glad I did, Eric was super friendly and knowledgeable. I was able to pickup some ASE’s at a fair price. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Henry Lung, P. 3 years ago on Google
    Eric & Rich are very nice guys & I have been going to their shop for roughly 8 to 10 years. They are fair to do business with & are the very opposite of the proprietors of the show Pawn Stars in Las Vegas who offer so little money for the items that people try to sell them that the show is painful to watch.

  • 5/5 Liam O. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place! Couldn't recommend it more. I am visiting from out of town and stopped by to buy some silver. As a relatively new silver purchaser, Eric was very informative, trustworthy, and guided me into a purchase I am very happy with.

  • 5/5 Joseph G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great coin shop. Every time I've stopped in, Rich and Eric have provided professional collecting advice and excellent conversation.

  • 5/5 Joan H. 9 months ago on Google
    Eric was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. He had exactly what I was looking for with options for me to choose what was good for me. He asked for a fair price. I recommend this business wholeheartedly.

  • 5/5 Max R. 11 months ago on Google
    Stopped by American Coin & Stamp Brokerage recently. I had a very good experience. Owner was friendly, honest, knowledgeable and fair. He answered all our questions. Gave good appraisals for some of my mother in law’s coins that we bought. Very happy with the prices he gave for some ancient Roman and Greek coins that I brought to sell.

  • 5/5 RW S. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently visted ACSB with some gold coins I had to sell...I'm very much aware of things like the spot price, spreads etc. and had a specific price in mind before I ever walked into the shop. After looking at the coins, Eric offered me a price that was VERY much in line with what I knew was the true value! This type of honesty is not in every dealer out there I can assure you of that! A highly recommended honest coin/ bullion dealer for sure! Five Stars!

  • 5/5 Chris K. 11 months ago on Google
    Had a great experience talking to Eric. My wife was in a long surgery and I was looking to occupy a little time as we are from Maine and staying in a hotel. He was only 4 miles from the hospital so I bought some wheats cents to go through while I was waiting in my truck. Great service and knowledge. Thank you for your time Eric, I truly appreciate it!!

  • 5/5 Tara C. 11 months ago on Google
    We brought in a mix of coins & jewelry. They took as much time as we needed to explain how they determined what’s truly valuable & why certain items weren’t. They were a very FAIR and HONEST business to work with.

  • 5/5 Dennis N. 11 months ago on Google
    Eric was fair and honest with my coin appraisals, and he gave me a great price for the coins that I sold him. I would recommend ACSB to everyone!

  • 5/5 Karen D. 1 year ago on Google
    Kind and courteous service! We were feeling overwhelmed trying to figure out what to do with Dads stamp collection. Rich was great. He reviewed the sampling we brought in and gave us tips about what to look for as we sort through the rest. We learned quite a bit from him about this hobby that Dad loved.

  • 5/5 J H. 10 months ago on Google
    My father had a large stamp and postcard collection. We drove from Tennessee with the collection to get it evaluated. The owner was knowledgeable and helped me understand its value. He spent great deal of time with me and offered a fair price for the part of the collection that interested him. Great place! Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Adrianna M. 6 months ago on Google
    I had a stamp and coin collection from my father in law and he gave me a very fair price. I was pleased being that i traveled from staten island. I would recommend this place very highly.

  • 5/5 Phil A. 9 months ago on Google
    Went for the first time today. Great staff that is very knowledgeable about the history of money. They are very happy just to talk “shop” and you don’t feel pressured at all to buy or sell anything. It was my first time selling any of my coin collection as well.

  • 5/5 Philip K. 8 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Mary L. 11 months ago on Google
    I had a very positive experience at American Coin and Stamp. I found both Eric and his associate welcoming. The store itself is a treasure trove of interesting collectibles. Any question I had was answered by Eric who obviously has an excellent knowledge of the products he carries. I will be a repeat customer!

  • 5/5 George 3 years ago on Google
    This place feels like family. Not just because it is owned and operated by one but because they treat you so fairly and well. Eric, Richard and staff truly have expertise in their field, whether its about coins, stamps, jewlery, collectibles or antique anything! I've been coming here for years and they have never let me down. They are honest and take their time for their customers to have the best experience possible. If this place and these people don't deserve 5 stars I don't know where and who does!

  • 5/5 Antonio C. 3 years ago on Google
    Went in to sell my Dad's stamp collection. I had no idea what the collection was worth and to be honest do not even know if I got a fair deal. However, I was ok with the outcome and the people were very nice. They were very knowledgeable about the material.

  • 5/5 Saul R. 3 years ago on Google
    Just saw Richard today. Brought in a few sample coins of what I have about 6 boxes of. Even though he knew I was not selling them anytime soon he took a great interest and reviewed the coins with me. He gave me a price for the coins which I think is pretty good. I will definitely be dealing with this coin store when the time comes to sell

  • 5/5 Kimberly M. 3 years ago on Google
    I went in for help with stamps and coins and the owner richard was so helpful. We have a lot of books and i know nothing on it so he was helpful it telling me exactly what to look for. He even gave me his cell and email to send him pics and for if i Have questions. Ive been to another coin place and this was by far the best experience and the most knowledgeable person.

    I went into this wonderful family owned shop the other day with my silver collection. I had the pleasure of workin with Jenna in the front and she was simply wonderful. She helped me understand the true value I had with my silver and gave me a lot of extra help and information on everything I asked. Truly a great family owned business. I will continue to do business with them cause they are honest people.

  • 5/5 Dani H. 3 years ago on Google
    Eric is a phenomenal guy who runs a great shop. Brought in 4 coins today, he made a deal with me to take them off my hands for a very fair price. Would highly recommend doing business here if you are interested in buying or selling coins, stamps, comics, or any rare and collectible items of the like. Definitely will be back.

  • 5/5 Tom S. 3 years ago on Google
    I came in cold off the street, literally and figuratively, Eric quickly and professionally evaluated my stamps and coins and made me a very generous cash offer. WILL do business again.

  • 5/5 Ford T. 3 years ago on Google
    Very friendly and straightforward they take the time to explain every transaction. A wonderful family owned and run operation. Highly recommend.

  • 3/5 Rio R. 3 years ago on Google
    The staff are helpful. Items are quite expensive; Inventory is extremely limited. Store could also be a little more organized so customers can more easily view things while waiting to speak to a store rep.

  • 2/5 Ricado B. 3 years ago on Google
    Thank you for helping me get started on my coin collecting journey. Whatever is going on with this place now is beyond me. I was looking for silver in a volatile currency market and was surprised to hear the latest upcharge fees. For anyone looking to purchase from here the people are nice but the prices are wild. Look up the value of silver gold or platinum before making your visit. Upcharges really shouldn't be excess 5%. And definitely not >25% Unless you just want to purchase because you want to own it, then don't expect to get any longer term gains. In that case, get a nice display holder and just use it as a decoration if that is your thing. No judgment here ! 😇🤐

  • 5/5 Marie D. 3 years ago on Google
    I recently found several coins that my father must of collected throughout the years while cleaning out closets in my home. Needless to say, I wasn’t sure what to do with them - that’s when I googled coin collectors near me and came upon American Coin in Merrick. I contacted them and explained what I had and Jenna (the young lady who answered the phone) told me that her dad would be more then happy to help me when I came into the store. I proceeded to drive to Merrick. The store was easy to get to and Jenna was right, her dad took the time to explain exactly what I had in the various coins my dad collected. My experience with them was AMAZING! They are knowledgeable in what they do but more importantly, I found them to be honest and trustworthy. I couldn’t believe my ears when they told me the “treasure” I had inherited. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to cash in on some old coins, jewelry etc as you won’t find a more honest father, daughter and son in this business.

  • 5/5 Lori M. 3 years ago on Google
    My dad passed last year and left us with his coin collection. Not knowing what was left, Friends recommended American Coin in Merrick. They couldn't have been more right. It's a family owned business and they welcomed us into the family immediately. We felt values were fair and made the process simple, easy and educational. Don't go anywhere else!

  • 5/5 Alex P. 3 years ago on Google
