    Beginners Beware! So I just started coin collecting three weeks ago and went around to all the coin stores in the area. While I did learn a lesson here to check every coin and look up the value of them, this guy took advantage of my lack of knowledge and experience with coins. I paid way over eBay prices for every coin from here. And he even let me walk out of the store thinking I had bought a silver coin for twenty dollars when it was clad, damaged, and not even worth two. He has a nice amount of stock but he is no friend to you and will take your wallet if you let him. Out of more than ten stores I have been to so far, he is the only one that wasn't fair on prices and didn't offer advice for a new collector.

    I’m an old guy that doesn’t trust anybody… Especially with my money. Collected coins as a hobby my whole life & getting my grandkids into it. After easing into Bergum’s shop and buying a few little things to see his style (integrity). I have the confidence now to call them, tell them what I’m looking for & don’t even ask the price. ALWAYS been fair, honest and gets a square deal EVERY TIME. They tell you their margins and they stick to them. Happy to know them.

    Awesome place, so many cool coins. I got a lot of knowledge today and some great recommendations. More than just a couple old coins, they have special coins too, and displayed very well. I definitely recommend this place to those looking to find a good gift for the holidays or to beef up your collection. Learned some stuff you dont really learn on youtube or from websites.

    I’m a big coin enthusiast and saw this place had good reviews. I brought my dad and uncle to check it out. They had never been in a coin shop and both have deep pockets. Each of us wanted to make a purchase. The owner was arrogant and demeaning. He assumed we were unable to afford higher quality items and that we were cheapskates. He was very rude. We left that store and went down the road and made a several thousand dollar purchase. His loss...don’t assume people are poor. I have to say that there is a giant inventory and a large selection.

    Great experience, owner was willing to come in after hours on his birthday to buy my precious metals. Quick, easy, fair pricing, this will definitely be my go-to coin shop moving forward! Thanks again

    Had a great experience here and had to come back. Wemby is great and guaranteed to help you with whatever you need. Trustworthy and personable.

    I traded in both old pennies, silver coins, and a gold ring. The service was thoughtful, thorough and clearly explained. My wife had previously gone to the same place and had a similar experience. I would strongly recommend them to anyone.

    Outstanding customer service and products.If you’re into exquisite and couture pieces of fine jewelry this is your place. The shine of a coin or two might catch your eye. The shop(olympia rare coins) is truly a treasure chest that is worth the stop and buy that special “something for yourself or another”.👑🏴‍☠️🪙💍☘️🌈🏜️💸💵💰 The Begum’s are two of the most compassionate business owners in our Olympia community. Thank you!

    Have never been in person but customer service over phone and email is what you would call lackluster at best.

  • 5/5 Aaron K. 1 year ago on Google
    The entire staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Lots of cool old coins and jewelry. Will be back for sure.

    Very fair and informative. My experience there has been top notch, thank you. Not sure about my United States mint stamp collection, but will stop by to check it out.

    Was able to get all my questions answered about the coins we had, thankful for the expertise and wisdom.

    They have everything here for precious metals. Location is super convenient, right next to a gas station and an ATM.

    I just stopped into this awesome precious metals shop today for the first time. I just recently got into buying silver coins and rounds, and I was surprised at the selection and pricing. Very reasonable. Not to mention that both of the gentlemen who were staffing the counter were very friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about what they do, and treated me with respect despite that I only bought one item. I will likely be making all my purchases here from now on. There’s not much of a difference between online prices and it’s so much more convenient to trade cash directly versus placing orders online and waiting for personal checks to clear.

  • 5/5 Reilly A. 3 years ago on Google
    Incredible! The people that work here are super friendly. Selection is top notch. Prices are perhaps a little high compared to online bullion dealers but nothing compares to being able to see the coins in person and handle them. They buy back at $1 over spot. That's right $1 OVER spot. Whether you're new to coins/precious metals or a seasoned collector/stacker, this shop is a must visit!

    They know how to do good business- great customer service, great selection, and fair prices. They also take great care of their inventory, it’s organized and handled with care. They have earned my loyalty. I’m very happy to be able to support a local precious metal shop. I’ve been to other places around the area, this is BY FAR the best place for precious metals and/or collectible coins!

    I have known Welby (owner) long before he opened this coin shop. He is a straight shooter and doesn’t compromise his integrity. He’s quick and efficient!
