Recently purchased precious metals from Hancock & Harwell. Very trustworthy and professional company. Knowing who will be honest and fair when making this kind of purchase is extremely important to me. Will definitely do business with them in the future.
Mr. Harwell‘s encyclopedic breadth and depth of knowledge about coins was a much appreciated compass for orienting us to this unique world of collectibles.
Had a great experience working with Bob to find a rare book for my father. Excellent communication and transparency on expectations- with ideal results. Will be shopping with Bob for all future rare coin related needs.
I have done business with Mr. Harwell for many years and always found it to be a pleasant, un-rushed experience. His honesty and full disclosure are greatly valued and appreciated.
Im not sure who I spoke with over the phone, but let me tell you, they were curt. They only seemed to have a twinge of personality when they were saying bye to end what I would have to imagine was the most annoying two-minute phone conversation they HAD to be apart of, extremely rude.
I had a remarkable experience with Bob Harwell. He has over 40 years of experience in the business and is extremely knowledgeable, sharp, and fair. Im not a coin collector however, I had some silver coins that was left behind after my grandfather passed and didnt know what to do with them except get rid of them. I shopped them around to a few dealers and made a decision to go with him after thinking it through. I highly recommend him because it wasnt just about business .We kicked it and he gave me really good advice and suggested direction about my own personal business when it came to growing my business . Thanks Bob!
I have never felt more discriminated against in my life! I arrived and was met at the door by Bob. I greeted Bob and he asked how can I help you without returning the greeting. I told him that I wanted to sell some bullion. He did not invite me in at that point but rather proceeded to talk to me at the door as he blocked the entrance. Bob asked what I had and I turned my hand over to reveal the bullion bar. He immediately says Oh! We dont buy bars--we only deal with coins. I replied that on your website it doesnt say anything to that. He said, yeah well we only deal with bullion coins. Then he asked me how many did I have, as if it was any of his concern since as he said, ...we only deal with bullion coins.I have added a screencapture of their website to my review where they advertise acceptance of gold of all types. This business obviously is unwilling to buy bullion bars from certain individuals, as their websites clearly advertises that they deal with gold in all forms--as any reputable gold dealer would. I would advise all to steer clear of this business for being openly deceptive and practicing discrimination.
What a great fellow! Bob was more than helpful as well as knowledgeable and well-versed in the particulars of his field. We were delighted to discover him as a resource and to have done business.with him.
Mr. Harwell was very knowledgeable about the coin I brought in to be appraised. He told me what to look for in buying coins. If you are interested in coins, Mr. Harwell is the one to go to in purchasing and appraising coins.
Bob Harwell is a great person for coin and silver transactions. He is thorough, fair, and most of all honest. I recommend Bob highly.
Bob Harwell is the ultimate professional. He is as honest as the day is long. I bought a substantial number of American Eagles in multiple purchases several years ago. At the time of purchase he assured me he would repurchase them should I decide to sell them. Mr. Hartwell was true to his word. I highly recommend Bob for the purchase of gold colds or rare coins.
Absolutely amazing to work with. I would highly recommend! Mr. Harwell was very generous with his time and knowledge.
Bob was a pleasure to work with and found a coin that was spot on for the event: a silver dollar minted in the year my father was born. It was a small transaction, but he treated it as if it was as important to him as it was to me.
Bob fair, informed and quick. He know coins! He is also considerate and kind.
Great service . Highly recommend Hancock and Harwell whether your looking to buy or sell coins. Mr Harwell is a fountain of knowledgeAnd a joy to do business with.
I called this dealer to get pricing on several coins. After initially asking for the coin, he said it was in stock. He then asked how many coins I wanted to buy. Evidently, it was not enough because he then said that he didnt have the coin. So, either he is confused about the types of coins he has or he is only will to deal with large volumes. So, if you are a small collector, dont bother!
This is the reason i dont buy or recommend bars currently. This Could Be Huge: Gold Bar Certified By Royal Canadian Mint Exposed As Fake | Zero Hedge
