  My brother and I went here to trade in an old coin collection that belonged to our father. Tami was extremely helpful, patient, knowledgeable and fair. It was a very positive experience and we would not hesitate to return.

  I must admit, I was a bit reluctant to go the appointment I had made with Tami after reading the other reviews on here. I had already gone to two other dealers, both of which had really high reviews, and things did not go well with them. So, I was very apprehensive when I showed up at London Coin Galleries Newport Beach - after all the gold and silver coins I wanted to sell were pretty much my entire inheritance from my mother who passed earlier this year. To my surprise, this time things went really, really well. First off, Tami has got to be one of the kindest, honest and sincere women I have ever met. That said, she doesn't "beat around the bush" and tells it straight like it is....honesty. However, I can tell that she would never deliberately hurt or insult anyone, rather she doesn't "sugar coat" what she wants to say and that may come across less than savory to some. But let me point out that your ire at her demeanor, is your issue not hers. Professionally, she dealt with me much, much better than either of the previous two dealers had, and in the end offered more money than they did. Look, when you're dealing with Gold, Silver and Money...it is much more important to have someone who respects your possessions and behaves in a manner that does not bring you stress. Both of the other two dealers quickly grabbed all my coins and one disappeared to another room, while the second shuffled all the coins behind a counter where I could not see them. I lost about 1/2 an ounce of gold between the two previous experiences and found out too late to do anything about it. Tami, on the other hand, deals with you in a private room, where all the coins are laid out on a table in front of you. She removes nothing from the room without your permission...in my case it was only 1 coin that she needed to research. She weighs, classifies, and tests everything right in front of you so you never loose sight of your possessions. She is very direct and will gladly tell you where the value lies in what you bring her. She did not buy everything I brought and I was very OK with that because she explained that there was no value to some coins. Without hesitation, I would gladly bring anything of value to Tami and trust that I would get: 1) an honest evaluation, 2) respectful treatment and 3) a fair price. What more could you want? And Tami, I am so sorry for having pre-judged you before we met. It appears that at this age I am still making childhood mistakes.

  Best place around to buy coins. Really friendly owner especially when you and the owner lady connect on all the same levels with the same styles and types of coins. Took time out of her day to meet with my wife and I and made an amazing connection with us. Worked out some great prices and made some sweet deals. Will definitely be back next time we're in town. This shop really out does all the rest in southern california. A definite stop for any coin, bullion or mineral collectors. Thank you for everything.
