What a great experience ! I talked with Dennis on the phone regarding the gold crowns from a recent dental procedure. He explained how to safely separate the crowns from the teeth. He was extremely nice and very professional ! When I went to his office, I was shocked at how much they were worth. Thanks again Dennis !!

Was a first time buyer. Dennis, the man behind the counter, was awesome. Extremely kind, patient, and professional. Its easy to see why he has been in business for so long. This is a great place to go if you want to invest in precious metal. I called ahead, and all the stuff I wanted was all together for when I showed up. Will visit again!

Talk about a man, a business owner that is apart of his community. That is Dennis from Center Street Gold and Silver. He is always doing what he can to give to the community. And is always one of the first to support the local Chamber. I appreciate him and what his company stands for.

I called in advance to make an appointment, my order was taken over the phone since I already knew what I wanted. Once I got there it was super fast in & out. And the staff was super friendly and nice professional.

I went in to Center Street today and sold Morgans, Peace Dollars and some other 90% pieces. The prices I received were very competitive and the folks at Center Street were SUPER helpful with accurate information. I strongly recommend this place for any questions, buys or sells as Dennis and the Team have presented high quality and dependable service for many years. m

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Dennis. Im fromAZ and one of his local customers posted an item that Dennis had in his store on their personal instagram page and they put me in touch with Center Street Gold and Silver and a few short days and a phone call later I had a bar I didnt know if Id ever have in my collection. Thank you for the outstanding customer service.

I like this shop a lot. Unique pieces and clear and competitive prices, the staff is friendly. The ship is small so usually I have to wait out front for a few minutes until I can get it.I try to stop by every time i am in Tigard.

Dennis, and staff, have ALWAYS provided our family with 5 star, SUPERIOR, customer service, even though we are “small time” buyers, and are fairly new to collecting, within the last couple of years. They always show us interesting items in our price range, and even help us pick out neat things for our kids too! After we purchase our items, (respectfully, and if there aren’t any customers waiting), they have been more than happy to show us a couple of their more expensive items for fun, and to give us an idea, of what we want to save $ for, and purchase on our next visit. If you are looking for something specific, they have a wish list and will call you if they they get that item for you. They are extremely knowledgeable about the industry and are very willing to share their knowledge, and passion for what they do!

Center Street is my first and only in-person precious metals buying experience. I love supporting mom & pop shops, but they go above and beyond! They are knowledgeable, friendly, and have the cheapest prices! While every dealer is charging waayyyyyyyy over spot and out of silver currently, they are happy to sell what they have at a great price and order anything you need. Definitely visit if you are looking for top notch customer service and a deal!

I recently have started doing business with Center Street Gold & Silver and I am glad I did. These folks are knowledgeable and trustworthy. They have a real time monitor screen on their front counter showing the price of silver and gold. They show you their buying price and their selling price. I am new to investing in precious metals, however I feel that I am partnering with people that I can trust.. I look forward to a long term business relationship with these knowledgeable and kind folks. I highly recommend.

I was in the market for a 1 oz platinum bar and these guys really came thru. Initially it wasnt in stock, but Dennis made the effort to call me back when it did come in. Picked up an Engelhard 1 oz platinum bar with an eagle imprint and I couldnt be happier. Instead of paying cash I was able to trade in a few gold coins which really worked out nice for me. Overall I had a great experience and will definitely do more business here in the future.

Review №18

Brought in gold coins to have evaluated. Dennis was not in this day, so his employee helped. He said the coins were not gold that they were in fact fake. I didnt want fake coins so we sold them to Center Street Gold & Silver for 50 cents. THEY WERE NEVER PROPERLY TESTED!!!!The following Monday, I went in to pick up some silver bars, and i noticed all of my coins in his gold display. I asked about the coins, and they then were confirmed to be gold. I told them about my experience and they told me that they could not confirm that those were the coins I had sold. I have extensive photos and they were not interested in furthering the discussion. I left and we will not be back.Shady business practice left me wondering who else has had this experience (and may not even know it) and it is embarrassing to know that someone youve trusted for years has not only lied to you, but also ripped you off.

This a very legit business. Their website is VERY transparent and tells you exactly what the buy and sell price is. If you are new to the store it has a great video about them to watch. It is a secure location and the owners are very professional and transparent when discussing the prices with you. I would highly recommend this business.

Dennis and his team there are always helpful and fair. In this day and age, a customer-focused culture like theirs is hard to find as his team members like Dlynn share their passion and knowledge about precious metals and their awesome offerings at good prices. I have purchased bullion and numismatics both from his firm and I have found them to be the most competitive in the area hands-down. Parking is plentiful and free and their pricing is transparent and they seem to truly love helping people with gold and silver commerce. I will continue to buy and sell my PMs with Center Street.

Dennis Johnson is the best in the business when it comes to buying and selling Gold and Silver. He has helped my family and friends with various needs and always treats them with service and respect. It is our go to for those magical moments for the kids as well. Stop by and say hello to Dennis and see why he comes so highly recommended.

The best place in the Portland metro area to take your precious metals. If you are looking for a place to sell your gold or silver that will pay more, you can stop now. If by chance you find one, please let me know. I have been looking for the past year. Dennis wont mind, he would probably match and then beat it anyhow.

Ive been coming in here for about 4 years and Dennis and his staff are always very friendly & helpful. They have a nice variety of gold & silver coins, bars, and rounds and have very reasonable, competitive buy/sell prices.They also buy scrap gold & silver and I can personally guarantee you they pay higher prices than ANY local pawn shop! Ive checked them all! I would recommend this business to family, friends, and total strangers. Stop in today, you wont regret it!

Review №32

Excellent prices. Without a doubt, for a little coin shop, they offer extremely competitive prices for their silver. Ex: It was our first time entering the store and didnt know what to expect and I personally needed up leaving with 18 silver half-dollars for 13.2 times the dollar, per dollar. Ill be in town for a couple weeks and will surely stop buy a couple times. If you dont believe the ratings of this place, then just take a quick stop in. You wont be let down.

Dennis is professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Perfect little store front. Great security. Hes got a great attitude and will talk to you about metals for as long as you want to stay. His premiums are very reasonable and hes not afraid to talk about why certain premiums are higher or lower than others. A very matter of fact sort of guy. Cant say enough good things.

This place is incredible & I would highly recommend it! I visited this place last week and I had a great experience. As a first time customer Dennis gave me a Dollar Silver Certificate as an appreciation and I totally loved it. He was very friendly and I would definitely do business with him again in the future. Thanks!

To find the best, honest, trustworthy Gold, silver or jewelry buyer or seller, look no where else but Center Street. My time with Dennis Johnson gave me knowledge, stellar professionalism, and a sense that finally, someone is in this business with true virtue. I went away with a more than fair experience, knowing I was treated in the most respectful way Ive ever been treated. I received a going the extra mile that I believe shows what Dennis, and his business stands for. Thank you again for all your help.

All I have to say is wow! I went to visit Dennis at Center Street Gold and Silver looking for a few Christmas gifts and not only did I leave with a couple of items for my family, I left with an education. Being new to the trade, I am now hooked. Dennis made it very easy to purchase some items and I know I got the best prices possible. He has screens in his shop that have up to the minute pricing, just like a stock ticker, so there is no surprise as to what the items will cost. If you are a collector or trader I highly recommend Center Street Gold and Silver.

Center Street is the place to go to buy and sell. Never had a issue. If fact let them know what you are looking for and they will do their best to find it for you. They call ever once in awhile and let me know they have something I might be interested in. Very committed to making you happy and they support their community. Plus their little gold chocolate coins are delicious!

Dennis is the most knowledgeable, honest and ethical person I know in the gold & silver business. Hes also incredibly personable and very active in the community, always eager to support local area businesses through the Tigard Chamber and other entities. Hes the only person Ill work with for buying and selling gold, silver and diamonds. Stop by his shop for an ever-changing selection of collectible coins and jewelry.

The owner Dennis Johnson and his staff are real professionals and will overload you with kindness. Center Street has not only earned my business for life but I tell everyone I know to go there with all of their precious metal needs. Dennis is a very honest man filled with integrity and will always do whats right whether youre buying or selling. A great safe and fun experience for the family and hes always happy to educate you and even teaches people how to tell if they have real gold. Last time I was in, I brought my young children and Dennis was more than happy to show them all of the shiny coins and even gave them a gold chocolate coin. As a numismatic collector myself, having a local, honest, family ran shop close to me will always get my business over buying who knows what off of the internet. I truly encourage everyone to go visit Center Street Gold & Silver and see for yourself what a great experience it truly is.

Plenty of my time has been spent at various establishments around Portland and Vancouver that deal in silver and gold. Plenty of my time has been (and is) spent in traffic as well, because I choose to come to Center Street Gold & Silver to conduct all my precious metals trades. Regardless of where you reside in Portland, or surrounding area, I would highly recommend that you dont waste your time or money anywhere else and come here. Rest assured, regardless of the time of day that Dennis or Jeremiah will provide you optimum incomparable favor and pricing combined with the perfect mix of professionalism and genuine customer service.

Review №47

Buyer beware!! Went in to purchase two 1 ounce Canadian maple leafs. Discovered later one of the coins was actually a 1/2 ounce maple leaf. They look very close and I was easily fooled. Came back with receipt showing being charged for 2 ounces and they would not honor. Had the feeling this was a regular scam. Good luck and inspect your purchases closely.

I have had the opportunity to work with Dennis Johnson and his team at Center Gold and Silver multiple times as a resource for my senior down-sizing clients. They have always been very flexible and accommodating.Dennis has even come into my clients homes, when they have a large quantity of silver to assess the values, enabling my clients to make the best decisions about what and how to disperse their valuables to family, charity or sales.I can wholeheartedly recommend the team at Center Street for their knowledge and outstanding customer service.

Review №63

Been going here since before they changed the name to center street and always a good experience. Usually have variety in what they carry so you are not just buying the same rounds and bars from the same minter over and over. Prices are the best Ive found in Portland and as close to spot as you would think is fair. Never had a problem over anything and always felt my business was valued. Few times I ended 30 cents or so short on what I brought in cash and they just rounded it down for me. Very fair, good selection, helpful staff and if they are out of something they usually have more back in a day or two. I dont know how anyone could not enjoy doing business with them

While I dont intend to offload my bullion at this location, I do appreciate that they show their current purchase prices on their website. Please get back to me if your buy price on generic 1oz gold bars gets closer to the current bid.Thanks,BryanUpdate 6/15/19 - Went in last week to sell some gold and have to say I had a very easy and pleasant transaction. Even introduced my neighbor to the shop. Pricing was fair and exchange was quick. Seems like some other shops are pretty unfriendly to engage if they dont already know you. Ill definitely be coming back to this location for future transactions.Really love the ability to get the pricing on their website and have it honored when I walk in the door!

Ive never written an online review but these guys deserve it! My first time ever buying and selling gold was just recently at Center Street. I was nervous about the trust factor and that I would feel foolish for my lack of knowledge. Dennis, the owner, put my fears to rest in no time. He is an amazing man who has more integrity than many people I know, and hes incredibly patient. I am so grateful for the respect I received and the friendly way I was treated. Im now a monthly customer!!! Center Street is the only place I would send my family and friends!Thanks guys!Lorna

Review №97

I find it really odd that this page has been getting flooded with 5 star reviews in such a short time. I cant find any reviews that are more than a year old yet there are 45 reviews. When i compare to other like shops i get a different picture. No other shops are being reviewed at this rate. Lets compare...Ajpm downtown is theparent company of center street, they have only 38 google reviews and 5 on yelp. It took them 8 years to accumulate 38 reviews. Center street surpassed them in. Only 1 year. Other ajpm franchises only have 3 reviews (broadway) and 4 reviews (ajpme). Something dont smell right here. Why wasnt center st receiving such praise when it was ajpm2? This business did not just open a year ago. Ajpm2 has no reviews and a search for them leads me to this page of all 5 star recently posted reviews. Letscompare some more. Coin cottage, only 20 reviews spanning 8 years. Columbia coin...same thing took 8 years to accumulate 19 reviews. Harrys coin 20 reviews in 1st year in buisness (fake). Alder goldbeen around a loooong time clockin in at 9 total reviews. Gold and silver supply took 5 years to get 4 reviews. Portland precious metals only 23 over past 3 years. Shoot, center st got more reviews in 1 year than all 3 liberty coin locations put together in the past 8 years. You get the point. These 5 star reviews areas real as CNN news. Dig deeper folks and dont be fooled.
