  Horrible experience all around. Went in yesterday with a friend while I was in town since I've been a coin collector for more than two decades and thought this place would be interesting. I was wrong, place is a complete mess, felt more like a poorly kept storage room than an actual store, ironic considering my friend was yelled at for looking at products across an arbitrary (and poorly defined) boundary line. The man behind the counter was rude and condescending, as if we were pests inconveniencing him just by coming in. I even tried to give him a compliment on their product quality as their items (particularly the older coins) are very nice, just to get a scoff and a snide "Well I need to display them if I want to sell them", stating the obvious as a response as if I was beneath him or a fool for simply trying to give him a compliment. The most basic tenets of even the most elementary customer service were clearly not understood or respected here. It's a rare thing for me to be able to interact with people who are genuinely passionate about these things and care about them as I and many others do, there was no passion or even basic courtesy here to be found. Just rude nastiness and no effort in keeping things organized or neat at all. At least the store's appearance matches his tone and attitude, subpar and repulsive. I have proudly supported small local collectables dealers for many years, but have never had an experience even close to this abhorrent anywhere else. I will not be coming back, the experience and disgusting treatment we received is a blight on the hobby and an offense to those of us who are actually passionate about it, do better.

  The old man/owner is such an unpleasant person to deal with. He always seems annoyed that you are in his store and he has to deal with you. Also, the place is an absolute mess. Between the hostility from and owner and the clutter, it almost makes you not want to return. Only good thing I can say about this place is they always have plenty of cards. If you can, stay away and find tcg elsewhere.

  "Won't talk numbers over the phone" when I simply asked what they are buying 1oz silver maples at. Could've easily given me a percentage or told me what they've recently acquired maples for, and make it known the price may obviously vary depending on when I get down there vs. Market. I was planning on spending a decent amount of money there as I'm looking for a new coin shop but but they won't get my buisness. Check out Sterling Rare coin if you're looking for great customer service. Father and Son shop with decades of knowledge.

  I have been meaning to give a review for this awesome shop for a while now. Start off by saying how lucky Gardner is to have a business like this, and to have access to a resident expert in coins and collectibles. The shop is an eclectic place - lots of merch everywhere, organized in a sort of Einstein method. The team do a good job and usually have a lot going on. But they aren’t saccharine in their interactions. In a world that is overly sensitive and way too feelings based, these guys will tell it like it is. In a real sense that is what you want from a numismatist. And truly, the owner/operator of this place is one of the most knowledgeable coin guys I have met in my 30 years of collecting. But what too often happens is you have people who know next to nothing about coins come in and act like they’re experts because they saw something on the internet. The best approach is to approach an expert with Respect and Humility. “Hey I don’t know about this, but could you give me some pointers/lessons”? That attitude wins the day in any enterprise, and especially in a coin shop. People who are harshing on them on these reviews for not sufficiently kissing their hind quarters should take a chill pill. Or possibly shop elsewhere. Coin and bullion evaluation and exchange is as real as it gets, and is a Privilege not a Right. Many coin shops around the world have gone away, and I try to remember how fortunate we are to be Free in this Country (still) to get to do this. Also whenever I go into GCC I see it as an opportunity to relax and let some others go first. To take a break from the hectic world outside…to pet Ricco…and To take in what is a unique collection, presented in a unique way. Soon enough all the brick & mortar shops will be gone and all we’ll have left are Amazons and Walmarts…and we will long for Mom & Pop Shops like this. Keep up the good honest work guys! 👍🏼❤️🇺🇸
