Super amazing service! Walked in to sell some silver coins. Extremely fast, easy and knowledgeable! I will definitely be going back to sell and buy in the future!
John is always pleasant and upbeat...great place to buy or trade silver, gold and other metals in either coin or bars. Has a selection of American Eagles in gold and silver .John has graded coins as well.
I had the most pleasant experience today!! First I called around & just by how the lady answered the phone & answered my questions, I choose this store. She was very sweet! (Im sorry I didn’t catch/remember her name). Anyways, so I brought in my coin & paper $ collection just to have it appraised. Mr. John Hancock was incredibly knowledgeable!! He answered questions Ive wondered & had for many yrs that even me going to the coin show & other stores were still up in the air & unknown. Mr. Hancock was SO nice & patient w/ me. I am very cautious and leery about people, as far as trust goes but you must meet him for yourself & you will see. I felt very confident that he was very trustworthy! So much so, that I even sold some of my coins to him, which I had no intention of doing so, before I went there & NEVER have in the past at any other places Ive gone to. He knew about & could answer every single question I had about markings & hair & age of coin, etc... things that Ive researched for yrs & wasn’t able to get a clear answer on by so many others. You could just tell that he definitely knew his stuff! He never made me feel pressured throughout the whole experience in any way. He really was just a sweet man & I’m SO thrilled Ive found my place!! Ill never go anywhere else!!
Lower premium than on the web, and you can walk in and pick up your purchase TODAY.Thank you Susan for calling me as soon as inventory I wanted came in. Your husband is very knowledgeable in the metals markets and I appreciate the extra service and bonus box.
Dont take your coins to this shop unless they are gold or silver. This shop dont care about anything else. I took a some quarters I found that were rare or had errors. Guy took all of 5 second look at the whole lot and told me to spend em. Had to point out a quarter to him that he said he can order for $4 and sell for around $8. Well thats a lot more than 25 cents. So worth collecting. If I had that one valuable coin that he told me to spend, then what else do I have of value that he automatically dismissed without even examining the coins? He was nice and kinda helpful. Thats why I gave 2 stars. But if you have regular coins, find another shop or professional to look at them.
Great store, way better prices then online bullion dealers like JM bullion or silver gold bull. They have a good selection of bullion bars and coin. Store owner was very helpful when it came time to buy. I plan on becoming a repeat customer.
I went there and took out my coins he didn’t even take a look he just said these coins aren’t special and I was thinking he would actually inspect it and this was the worst experience
New to buillion market and felt confident dealing with John and will continue in future.No smoke just honest information .Pricing within industry standards.Recieved a good education to a subject to which i had very little experience in.
Great deal on selling 3 gold 1oz eagles today thanks!
John is always friendly, honest and to the point. He maintains a well organized storefront with ample supply. Whether you have $25 to invest or $25k, he is the man to speak with. John is willing to teach those who are new to bullion, helping them to understand what they are purchasing.Some of these reviews are sobbing about cashing in spot silver coins. This man is a bullion dealer, not a pawn shop... However he may be able to point you in the right direction if you do have rare coins or unique pieces.I appreciate having done business with Silver Bay and look forward to future purchases and exchanges with them.
Don’t bring any coins to these old people, EXTREMELY rude. Unless your going to buy, he doesn’t want you in his shop.
Great experience selling a small family holding of gold and silver bullion. John taught me something about coins and bullion, gave what seemed to me like a very fair price (it was about 90% of the published market value for that day, which is what I was hoping for), was friendly and transparent, and had me out of there in no time with a check and a problem solved. I’ll be back whenever I need help with coins or investment metals.
Great service and selection, we will be back
Calling prior to going and being told I could get an appraisal for a coin collection from my fathers estate, I was quite disappointed in his rudeness, unprofessionalism and lack of flexibility. He was unwilling to even look at the coin collection when I mentioned we might keep some coins and seemed angry that I even requested an appraisal. This collection has over a 100 coins in it. I wont recommend him.
Extremely generous owners! Literally gave us a wedding gift with only having met them five minutes prior. And the gift wasn’t cheap. Never experienced that kind of hospitality at a coin shop before.
We Love Silver Bay! Best part, you won’t spend a dime... just convert fiat to bullion! Great rates!
Best place in area to sell to, honest pricing cash
The owner is a very nice and friendly guy. I have been buying coins from here for awhile now. Prices are fair and the coins are beautiful. This is the place to buy for me locally for sure. I was ordering online before because nobody could beat the prices. He almost does, but I will pay the $0.03 spot increase to have them in my hands same day lmao. Weekly stacking !! This is my go to 👍👍
Friendly service with a smile. No pressure very knowledgeable staff answered every question and concern i had. I highly recommend them
I feel very comfortable when I sell and buy at this place.
Awesome coin shop! So many great coins for collectors. I traded in this past Saturday a 1/4 oz gold & a 1/4 oz platinum eagle and put those towards a 1/2 oz that I had been wanting. Couldn’t have worked out better, everyone was great. Will definitely be coming back to get more coins. Great shop, highly recommended!
Went to 4 local stores, and he charges more than anyone... in some cases x2 spot. Gave him a 2 star because when I called him he said he was selling 2$ over spot, but when I drove to his store.... He was charging 5$. If you want to spend more than you should he is the guy to see! Lol. With that said he was polite and professional.
New to stacking silver, this is now my go to place to add to the collection. The store is neat and clean. The service is spot on. Plus it is local
The atmosphere was great and I liked the music, however, I am giving him 2 because he charged(quote $19 a pop) over 20% above spot price (15.60). I did not receive a receipt and I have to say it was terrible. I am satisfied with the silver I purchased though. If I go back in I might see if his business practices are less slimy and more upfront and hospitable.
Great place with a friendly staff.
Nice clean well lit store. Super nice knowledgeable staff, GREAT prices! Love this place.
Wonderful experience at Silver Bay Coins. Owner took so much time to teach my boys about their coin questions. He was so patient and informative. He made my son’s year by giving him a coin book and some coins! We will back when he is ready to purchase some coins.
Variety of coins & bars, friendly and professional service.. Also has 2 very big dogs behind counter.
I went into his store with anticipation of trading 4 barber haves in About Good,heavily worn,for 4 kennedy halves 1964 ef or au. He immediately said no and further said I dont want those slugs. When I got home,I looked up Coin World listed values for 1908-S,1903-O,1900-O,and 1907 and they were all $13.00 or $14.00,where as 1964 Kennedys are $5.75.So,if he entertained the trade,it seems he would of come out ahead.Instead he chose to belittle me intead of a little charisma.There is a monthly coin show in Melbourne,Fl the 2nd Sunday of every month,which will give you better prices and selection.Thats what I would recommend.This guy never has a selection of junk silver.The system wont allow me to rescind previous review.
Has always treated me and my family fair.. I highly recommend
One of the best coin stores I have come across in Central Florida. Very fair prices and easy to do business with. Very informative and knowledgeable staff, with no pressure to buy. Highly Recommend!!!
Great service...very knowledgeable and fair pricing for excellent condition coins! I have been dealing with silver bay for a good six years now and hes all about quality! He wont always have what your looking for but if he has it, it will be higher quality then any other dealer Ive dealt with this far! He doesnt fill his displays with useless worn out garbage. He always has plenty of silver, gold, or platinum as well! And if your in a pinch and need to sell, hes very fair and discrete. If youve been shopping at the flea market or the monthly coin show then you know what Im saying about getting real quality at the same price these other dealers sell worn out garbage. Thanks John!
Stopped in Yesterday 3/09/2019. I was here to sell. I was Greeted warmly. Brought in quite a few coins. Was given market value no questions asked and no stress. I was given a few plastic sleeves for some special coins without asking to protect the coins. Buyer notified me that I had one special coin and looked up the value in a book and was offered that value. I decided to keep that coin I was paid promptly and a receipt was given on request for the coins sold. Sometimes you dont want a receipt and thats understandable. I was not pressured or stressed in anyway to make a deal. I will be back again to sell some more coins. Overall enjoyable experience. I did see someone say they enjoyed the music in the shop. I find the old time music captivating reminded me of something from the roaring 20s. I did however find it a tad too loud for my taste. I found the selection of gold, silver, and coins in this shop to be more than fairly priced. Weather youre collecting for a hobby or just wanted to have some precious metals in your portfolio. Id recommend dropping in. Store was also very nice and clean, good atmosphere.Sincerely Mark Walton - Brevard County Blogger.I was not compensated for this review or any of my other reviews.
I have been going to Silver Bay for a while now and have always had a great experience. I enjoy talking with John, he is very knowledgeable and helpful in understanding this business. I tried a couple other places and never had a felling of confidence as I get from John.
Won’t even give you a price for your coins because they’re “not buying”. horrible customer service. What kinda coin place doesn’t buy or trade.
My favorite bullion place! excellent customer service & very friendly people. Always very helpful to me whether its buying something or simply finding an airtite that will fit my uncommon size coins. Highly Recommended!
Asked if he would negotiate on the price and his response was, this isnt some rag head bodega. Over priced. You can get better deals online at reputable dealers.
I have been dealing with John ay silver bay for years and have allways been treated very fairly!! and my wife realy apriceates the chocalet
We have had really good experience with this business. They are honest, straightforward and deal with customers in a friendly, professional manner. Very highly recommended.
Very pleasant experience, staff is amazing! Thank you so very much! I recommend everyone go here!
Got the silver I wanted.
I met John,the Owner this afternoon.I found him to be knowledgeable,well informed,fair, and most important,honest.He could not be better,in my estimation.If you have gold,silver or rare numismatic items to buy,go here.Hes great.
My favorite coin dealer, the prices are great and they dont mind educating new consumers.i buy exclusively from them
I went to get a coin looked at. No BS and a great selection of coins and bullion. Going back for sure.
Very nice staff, told me exactly what I needed to know about my coin and even gave me and my sister a piece of chocolate.
Great guy always takes time to help and answer any question you have
Very friendly and helpful. Love their dogs too.
Great customer service!!! Friendly staff and gave great advice.
Great selection of gold and silver. Ive been back multiple times.
They always have what I need and if they dont have it up front they will find it for you. Great place good prices very knowledgeable
If you need fast cash and dont care about getting what your stuff is actually worth go to this place hell rip you off with a smile and only offer scrap prices BIG RIP OFF
Very bad service. This is the worst place to sell or buy anything with coins. The guy has no knowledge of anything with coins.
Fast, Friendly and Cash Only... This Place Is After My Heart!!!
Great selection of gold and siver coins and bullion to chose from. Will return
Such a rude buisness. Dont reccomend anyone going here
Great customer service!
