First time here and couldnt be happier that I chose them. I had some old silver coins from my parents that I took to them to be evaluated. Feel I got an awesome price for all money I brought to them. I dealt with Mike and he was more than pleasant and knowledgeable about his trade. They are conveniently located on Wolf Rd. I also noted they have some absolutely beautiful vintage jewelry as well as new jewelry pieces. This is a place that should be checked out! I know I will return!
I cannot say enough about the positive experience we had with Geoff and Jim at Ferris. We had many, many items to have evaluated and they took their time, shared their knowledge and gave us great advice. I HIGHLY recommend them.
Based on other positive reviews, I picked Ferris Coin & Jewelry when I decided to sell off some gold and silver coin sets. Needless to say, the staff was extremely friendly and professional! Everything was sorted through in a timely manner, and the value of each item was clearly explained. I was very happy with the final offer, and within half an hour I left with a check in hand. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed!
My intuition about Ferris Coin & Jewelry inspired me to drive 100 miles to sell an old coin collection there and it was worth the trip. It was a pleasure to deal with experts who enjoy their work. I drove home richer not only by the price of the collection but in knowledge about some of the coins and a greater appreciation of numismatics. They also sell handsome jewelry and watches. I hope to make the opportunity to return.
I was well aware that Ferris Coin & Jewelry had a stellar reputation, but I never had the pleasure of visiting the store, up until recently. The purpose of my visit was to have my beautiful mothers diamonds from her engagement ring made into earrings. I met with Amanda and she was so incredibly patient, kind, AND extremely knowledgeable! I am overjoyed with the finished product and Im certain that my mother is smiling down! Many thanks to Amanda, Jim, and company for turning my vision into a reality! I would highly recommend this business to any and all! Great job! MPS
Very happy with my experience today at Ferris coin. They were crazy busy but when it was my turn they took the time to go thru every coin and gave a very fair price. Even singling out a penny that was in great shape! I would recommend anyone that had coins or silver to go here first. Friendly atmosphere and honesty goes a long way.
I had an excellent experience with Amanda, I requested a call back, she was so friendly,Professional and put my mind at ease, I couldJust stop in.I did so immediately and was so happy I did, a bonus was Amanda looking at my items, though any of their associates could have. There is no pressure to sell, no cost to look at & access your items. Just stop in.They are honest, and very fair. Thank You Amanda it was a great experience.
Today was my 2nd encounter with Geoff. I found him both times to be extremely knowledgeable, professional, honest, and forthright. I would highly recommend Ferris Coin, without reservation.
The Old Man ( Jim ) was Very Awesome to work with. Very nice and pleasant too.I want to thank you very much,Rhonda
Had an appointment with Geoff for sale of good and silver coins. Geoff is so helpful, knowledgeable, professional and personable. I received top price (much better than other stores) as well as a detailed printout of each item sold/amount. This is the best place to go for selling coins!
Staff was very friendly, brought a decent amount of silver coins and scrap jewelry in, they sorted through it all very quickly considering the amount. They were very transparent everything was explained what and how they get the price they got. 30-40 minutes later we walked out with a check and I new place we would gladly return to if we ever needed to buy or sell anything gold or silver related.
Ive been in 3 times for silver bullion. As I sit with a kilo bar of silver in my hand I couldnt be happier with my purchases. I was going to get the kilo bar the second time I went in but they had so many Silver Eagles in good condition for the price of generic I had to grab them. I ordered 6 BU Eagles from a top online bullion dealer and because someone forgot to put packing peanuts in the tube I got dinged up and no longer BU Eagles. Save yourself the premium of online accidental cull and look in that box. And if you are still reading this my first purchase was a beautiful new 10oz IGR silver bar. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have the bullion you want. Junk, sovereign, rounds, bars. Fair price over spot. Ill be back again and again. FIVE stars.
I have been dealing with Ferris Coin selling coins and jewelry for 2 years. They are honest, professional and very courteous. They know their stuff. They explain everything (what you have and what you are being paid for).They go over and over the cost to make sure it is right and you are a happy customer. I, too, am skeptical when selling things to anyone. My family and I have dealt with Ferris and they are the best. We tried to sell gold and jewelry at other places before we knew of Ferris Coin and we did not sell and luckily, we did not. They offered half of the money that Ferris gave us. Jim, the gemologist is awesome, and have dealt with Amanda, Geoff and Brian for coins and gold. All incredible. Would never go anywhere else! Susan Nugent
My parents, sister, and I have been selling gold and silver to Ferris Coins for years! Extremely honest and knowledgeable. Additionally, they consistently pay the most for scrap. I come from another state and I would recommend them to everyone who is looking to sell their gold or silver.
I recently purchased two vintage watches from Ferris coin. Amanda the sales person was knowledgeable friendly and professional! The watches were reasonably priced and of the highest quality. I truly enjoyed doing business with them and will definitely do more.
My Husband and I went in and were immediately greeted by Amanda and her welcoming smile. I am a very tenacious person, and I have been in search of a very particular piece of jewelry for many years. Most people show you one or two pieces and then lose interest in you. Not here Amanda spent so much time with me, asked me important questions like what I do with my hands to ensure the piece I purchased didnt sit in a jewelry box except for special occasions. Showed me every piece I noticed and some she though I may like as well. She was honest and patient which meant the world to me. I finally found the gorgeous Art Deco ring I have been in search for, and I can wear it everyday, not just on special occasions. Amanda made us feel so valued my husband returned and purchased a beautiful Christmas present for me as well. Thank you Ferris Coin and Jewelry and thank you to Amanda. We will be back .
I went to Ferris Coin & Jewelry yesterday, June 23, 2021 to sell some silver bullion. I received excellent customer service from Geoffrey Demis. Ferris Coin provided me with a very fair offer and I even left the store obtaining more than I thought I would for my silver bullion. I highly recommend Ferris Coin & Jewelry for all of your numismatic, bullion, or jewelry needs!Bill Bode- East Greenbush, NY
I was very pleased with the service and expertise of Jim who carefully sorted through all my silverware and stainless steel utensils, coins and a watch to determine their value.
Approximately a week ago I had the unfortunate task of liquidating a large coin collection of both foreign and domestic coins I inherited from my father’s estate thirty-four years ago. Knowing nothing about numismatist, I went to the internet for help in trying to place a value on the collection. Needless to say, this was a laborious and time-consuming endeavor. What I learned was that in no way could I estimate the value of this collection. After much thought and conversation with my wife, family and information from the web, I obtained three quotes from the Capital Districts top coin dealers. To make a long story even longer this was by far a huge task. Not only did I have to arrange for appointments with said coin dealers, I had to load the entire collection into my car and take it to each proprietor’s business location. As I mentioned this was a large collection consisting of numerous metal boxes weighing what seemed to be hundreds of pounds.Getting to the meat of this article I would like to say that Ferris Coin & Jewelry was by far my choice to sell to. I cannot say enough good things to come close to the professionalism, patience and expertise of Geoffrey C. Demis at Ferris who evaluated the coins. Jeff not only looked at and scrutinized every coin using at his disposal several coin books and his vast knowledge in this field to appraise each piece. I must say not only was Jeff impressive but extremely pleasant throughout the entire task but also in explaining the value of many of the coins and telling me why a certain coin would not obtain top dollar and pointed out its flaw. The evaluation took approximately 7 ½ hours but was extremely worth it. Not only did I get the best quote but went away with both knowledge and a good feeling that I got top compensation for my dad’s prized collection.Looking back, I am so glad that I did the due diligence by getting three quotes and seeking out Ferris Coin & Jewelry. In summary their appraisal was three times that of one dealer and several thousand more than another. If any of you find yourself in my situation and have to dispose of your collection, go see Jeff at Ferris Coin & Jewelry to get the best price for your collection and peace of mind. Stephen G. Mink
Great experience! Shopped around for a while for an engagement ring, and walked into Ferris Coin and was greeted by Brian. Brian is incredibly friendly and has been in the business for over 30 years! Brian was very honest and took his time explaining everything. Very comfortable experience and would highly recommend!
Ive been going to Ferris Coin for over nine years now. The new location is beautiful and easy to get to. My business dealings with the staff have always been pleasurable. Everyone is professional and friendly but I have especially gotten to know Jim, Brian and Mike. Wonderful wonderful guys. Nice isnt everything. Knowledge is everything to run a successful establishment like Ferris. They know all about domestic and international coins. Ancient coins. Jim and Brian know the jewelry end of things inside and out. Jim is a certified gemologist.Whenever I have sold to them, I have always gotten a fair competitive price. When I buy, I have expert help and assistance to make my investments. Ive never been steered wrong.Their jewelry selection is wow! Gorgeous estate jewelry, luxury watches and fine diamond rings, earrings bracelets and necklaces. I just love to look at everything. Another great thing about Ferris, there is no hard sell or any pressure to make a decision. That means a lot to me.I highly recommend Ferris Coin to anyone!!!
We could not be more pleased with the custom designed ring that we recently commissioned with Brian Bucher at Ferris. The diamonds reset from an engagement ring and a wedding band into a less formal rose gold setting complement each other beautifully and will be cherished.This is the second custom piece we have had done over the past couple years, and we undoubtedly will be back.Thank you so much,Mary Anne and Phil
Very professional and very clear on the process Answered any questions without hesitation and explained clearly how the prices of different metals were determined since I was selling silver. I wouldnt hesitate to deal with them again!
Very friendly and very professional to work with. They were also very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Ferris.
You can’t beat the prices and quality of the jewelry. An extra bonus is that Amanda is wonderful to work with. She helped me design a beautiful custom piece of jewelry that I will cherish for a long time.
I visited yesterday for the first time and received a reasonable offer to accept for my gold watch. Friendly and professional. Recommended.
Great place to buy gold or silver! A very friendly and professional staff, and they make everything easy to understand. Wide variety of coins, I would highly recommend.
What a wonderful experience for us. The owner and staff were so friendly and the value for the what we brought in was so much more than we expected. Even though it was a tough decision to let go of some peice we knew we made the right decision for us. As we are starting retirement, we would not hesitate to come back when we decide we may want to let go of anything else.If youre looking to find a place where you want to get a fair value make sure you come here 1st Im glad we did.
I have been shopping for coins (buying and selling) at Ferris for over 15 years. From the shop at Central ave in Albany to the new shop on Wolf road. I can tell you this, you will never find a more kind or knowledgable team of people that are true masters of theyre craft then at Ferris Coins. I travel all the way from Fort Edward to Ferris just for the expertise and products they have. Geoff, is by far the coin guy to visit.
Jim is a certified gemologist who appraised a dozen pieces of jewelry for me. I called and he provided a brief overview of his credentials and the approximate length of time needed to appraise the items. He was booking one week in advance but accommodated my schedule around another appointment I had. His location is convenient with adequate parking on Wolf Rd. in Colonie. We reviewed my pieces and then he took photos of each and proceeded to do the appraisal during my visit in three hours. The comprehensive report I received one week later was thorough, detailed, easy to read, and included the photos he took. Jim is very knowledgeable in his field. He is easy to deal with has a nice personality. I highly recommend his services.
This business is outstanding! I have had them evaluate old gold coins and evaluate old gold jewelry for me to sell to them.Jim and Amanda were most helpful, so courteous and fun to work with! Thank you!!I highly recommend them...they also have some amazing pieces to purchase!! Yum!Pat Blanc
I have stopped in a number of times and I am thrilled with the professionalism of everyone at Ferris. They have been patient with me going over the variety of older items I have brought in. I have a variety of items from various family members estates. Sometimes what you think is the real deal turns out not to be but the items you dont think much of actually hit the jackpot! Thank you for all of your help! Ill be back in tomorrow!
My Wife and I had a great experience at Ferris Coin. We both had some old jewelry and a couple of old coins that we would never used or looked at in years. Jeff walked us through the process and explained the pricing of each item. We left very happy and will be back.
I spoke with Jim Naughter, a Gemologist, at length about some heirloom jewelry I had inherited and was absolutely amazed by his expertise! I felt safe in his care as we speculated about the family secrets revealed by the tiniest details in the gems I presented. He offered me solid advice about whether to wear, sell or save these pieces; I trusted his advice and the professionals he recommended. I was very impressed!
I visited Ferris on Monday. I called for an appt. the week before and Geoff got me in quickly even though they are so busy. I had coins from a relatives estate. Geoff valued everything for me. He was very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. I spoke with Amanda about some jewelry. I took the first half of these coins to a different place and felt sort of intimidated. Much nicer experience at Ferris. Also, I know nothing about coins and I fear being taken advantage of. However, Geoff was VERY fair in how he valued the coins. I would definitely do business with Ferris again.
Worked with Amanda to both sell pieces and purchase. When I was selling, Amanda walked me through the whole process, explaining the rates. Honest and fair. Pricing on purchasing jewelry as well as prices. She made me feel comfortable, and felt like she was trustworthy and honest. Will continue to shop there and sell there!!!
I did research before choosing Ferris Coin and their reviews were the deciding factor for me. They are very knowledgeable, professional, fair, friendly and a pleasure to do business with. The atmosphere in their facility is relaxing and pleasing and the staff is topnotch. I highly recommend Ferris Coin when selling precious metal or coins.
I have had numerous experiences with Ferris, starting when they were at lower Central ave., Albany .My most recent have been with Kevin, then Mike. They shared their knowledge and expertise, what had value and what did not. I have no doubt whatsoever of their integrity.Do not hesitate to consult with them, and any members of their team.
Best bullion dealer in the capital region great staff and very nice environment.
Yet another gold buyer that says they pay more and they do not. Same price as the lousy mall. I did sell to another buyer for double the amount.
First time customer. Pleasant experience with my first purchase of some random bullion coins.
Definitely intimidating when you first walk in! Not the sales people but the amount of high quality bullion and rare coins on display. Have gotten great prices as both buyer and seller. Always hassle free!
Great service and people here. The staff always take time to ask how things are going, and are always willing to answer any questions thoroughly. While going through the bin of generic silver bars and rounds I was never once asked to hurry up or seemed to be pressured into picking random pieces. Even during this pandemic Ferris Coin & Jewelry has been great with their curbside service. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone buying or selling coins and jewelry.
Bought a necklace here for $3000.00. Tried to sell back 3 months later and only offered me $1,200.00. Took to someone else and was paid $1850.00. These guys are greedy & I would stay away from this place!
I went there to get a quote on my engagement ring and Jim was very kind, thoughtful and understood that this was just not any ring and that it was sentimental to me he gave a me great price. If anyone is looking to buy or sell jewelry I would highly recommend going to see Jim!
I was in the shop yesterday with my girlfriends son who is just starting out in collecting coins and bullion. With the prices of everything going through the roof the store was non stop people buying and selling. The gentlemen we dealt with was very kind and took the time to help us out. He didnt worry if we were going to spend $10 or $1000. He took his time with us and was very glad to help us out with what we were looking for. I feel as though they like to see younger people in buying and catered to us. I never felt rushed or like we were wasting anyones time. I certainly recommend this store to everyone and look forward to going back.
I just want to tell folks that if you want a good shopping experience, then go to Ferris Coin & Jewelry! I went there today, for my first time, and purchased some nicely priced coins. Before the transaction, I was greeted by a cordial, pleasing, and professional looking woman. I didnt feel rushed during the transaction and felt quite relaxed. I also found the shop to be clean, organized, and secure. I will definitely be a returning customer in the near future.
I had an appointment with Jim, the gemologist, for an evaluation on an Etsy purchase. He was patient, helpful and honest. Although, I wish the results were better, I had a great experience. Highly recommend!
Excellent service from my initial phone call to my appointment/ store visit. Very informative, Geoff took the time to explain my coin values and I feel We got a very fair price when we sold them.I would highly recommend Ferris coin to anyone, knowledgable, professional people, exceptional service in a casual and friendly environment!
My first experience at Ferris Coin was excellent! I was looking for specific bullion which I inquired about on their Instagram page. They had what I was looking for and they made it easy to pick it up even amid the pandemic. I will definitely be going back for everything I need and will definitely recommend to my friends!
I was at the store today to sell some of my collection. Geoffrey helped out and was very knowledgeable. Very pleased with the service and will definitely be doing business in the future.
Extremely knowledgeable very friendlyGreat experience dealing with Amanda
My husband has purchased coins there and was very happy with his dealings, and the overall experience of the transactions. I love jewelry so I went with him to check out their collection, and fell in love with a new setting for my diamond ring. Brian was a total pleasure to work with and the deal they gave me on the ring was phenomenal! I know a lot about jewelry, and I loved his honest, candid approach. I have since purchased more and have been so pleased with the customer service and my jewelry pieces. My Husband and I won’t go anywhere else now! I can’t recommend them enough! ❤️
We stopped by on a very busy holiday with a collection of old jewelry and coins. Geoff sat down with us for close to an hour, carefully and expertly considering every piece, and we left with a generous check. A beautiful store that was easy to find...and a great experience!
Geoff is highly knowledgeable and made what we thought would be a difficult process interesting and entertaining. If youre an executor, Ferris is the place to get the collection priced (and bought).
Met with Geoff to sell an old coin collection I inherited and he went through everything with great detail and explained things as he went along. Very good experience and would definitely recommend them!
I highly recommend Ferris Coin & Jewelry. I had several items I wanted to sell: a large diamond, a gold watch, several diamond and sapphire rings, and an opal ring. I took all of it to two well known jewelry stores and was not impressed with their prices, personalities, or sincerity. Brian and Jim at Ferris were wonderful to deal with. They bought all of my items, gave me great fair prices (substantially higher than the 2 Jewelry stores offered), and most importantly, explained their thought processes. They were friendly, sincere, transparent, and a pleasure to sell to. Again, HIGHLY recommend!!
Expert appraisers. Courteous and respectful. Highly recommend.
THIS. PLACE. IS. AWESOME!. I got 5 mercury dimes, four Indian head pennies, a 1879 dollar coin and a 1963 half dollar for only 60 bucks!
Very professional staff and an overall good experience. Researched several coin and jewelry places before deciding to go to Ferris. I brought in some items to sell and spoke with both Jim and Mike. Both were knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend Ferris Coin & Jewelry if youre looking to sell jewelry, silver flatware, coins, or other items they buy and sell.
Mike was very helpful and nice. Great first time experience!
My favorite coin store I would never go anywhere else they give the best prices and are very nice Geoff was very very good 11/10
I love Ferris Coin & Jewelry. I have used them to buy and sell coins and bullion over the years. Very fair prices and the only place locally I will use.
Setting up an appointment was easy. Jim was very professional. Measurements and pictures were all done in front of us which I was very happy about. I received the appraisal timely and was very happy with the service.
Helped me buy a engagement ring during Covid quarantine. Amanda was super helpful, everything went smoothly and quickly, and I feel like I got a fair deal. The ring is absolutley beautiful. My future wife and I are both very pleased.
I went to Ferris Coin & Jewelry after visit Roman Jewels to sell some coins. Roman offered me $1812 and I knew the most I could get for this was around $2500. Ferris offered me $2360 and it was more than fair. Beware when selling your valuables, always research what you have and try a few places. Dealing with them was a pleasant experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Wonderful, professional, and friendly! I eagerly refer friends to Ferris.
They are really helpful, knowledgeable, patient and professional. I dont deal with anyone else and havent for decades.
This is the best brick and mortar location in the capital district for coins, and precious metals, and assorted items. They are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, honest, and fair. I have used them for any product or service that I need and they offer.
Excellent experience! Had some coins evaluated from a family estate and they were friendly, efficient, explained history and value and provided some insight into the final evaluation. No pressure to sell or buy and esy to work with. Very clean store and everyone was super friendly.
Great prices and great service. Geoff is a wonderful person to deal with. Been going to him for over 10 years. And, many more to come.
By far the best value in the Capital Region whether your buying or selling. Staff is very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. The facility is pristine and is easily accessible. Recommend very highly of your selling or buying.
What a awesome place, I recently renewed my interest in coin collecting and the staff at Ferris Coin rocks. They have a huge selection and its always changing, there is also a great collection of jewelry if you are in the market. Everyone there is so knowledgeable and nice, really a pleasure to work with. Thanks for the help and I will see you soon.
Had some old coins that I was ready to get rid of, got way more than the value I thought they were worth from the research I did. Highly recommend!
Very professional and courteous. Great experience.
I was at the shop today and both Amanda and Michael were both very pleasant and easy to work with. I appreciate how they explained things to me about my items. I know I will recommend this shop and will use it myself in the future. Very professional people.
Knowledgeable and trustworthy, I wont buy bullion anywhere else
Great experience when we had our mother’s coin collection and some jewelry appraised. They were fair and easy to deal with. In fact, they followed us to the parking lot to give us more money because they had misidentified the stone in one of the rings! We would never had known that it was a diamond and not a cz. We will be taking the rest of our coins to them.
Great experience. Fair and honest. Straightforward. Smart. Engaging.
Great service. Very good, no-nonsense prices on gold Maples and Eagles. I have made 5 purchases over the phone. I got prompt delievery. Product was always exactly as represented. Ferris Coin has much much lower mark-up than big-name sellers you hear on the radio. Seriously; Farris Coin was $120 per coin lower on Eagles and Maples than one bid-name Gold seller I called for a quote on same day.
Excellent service and great people most definitely will be back
It was a very positive experience. Mr. Naughter is affable, honest and extremely knowledgeable.
Professional establishment dealing in bullion sales, estate sales, gold, silver jewelry,and precious metals. Diamond and watch specialists. Reputable owners and staff. Dealers are welcome, estate collections encouraged as well as auction collectibles.This company should be your first stop for all fine jewelry, antiques, collectibles, and estate collections as well as for precious metal appraisals and sales.
They are just ok. When they were down on Central ave, the payout was much better. I cant see them making such a profit on bullion. I found a couple better payers.But if you need quick money,Id use them. Better people than Old Saratoga!!
Awesome shop! Very clean and friendly staff. Definitely go here to sell your coins or jewelry 👍
I was just there selling various coins from a relatives estate. Jeff was extremely professional and quickly went through the somewhat large amount of coins I brought in. I had estimated what we might get for the collection and Jeff surpassed my estimates. I would go back to do business in a second.
Great prices. Always helpful and curtious. Great place top conduct business.
Very nice people, fair prices and quick and easy. Will def visit again.
My go-to place to sell silver. They offer fair prices and quick service.
Great service and selection! Very helpful employees.
They gave me more than any other place, almost doble. Great service.
Relaxing environment, professional staff and a wide selection.
Very quick and fair appraisal.
Very helpful and knowledgeable.
They were very helpful to someone new to collecting
Excellent, discreet, professional and very helpful....
