Archie’s

Today, a Silver Bullet! How cool is That? See the picture I posted. Full ounce of fine Siver !

I went to Archies to cash in on some silver i had stored away and I walked out with more $$ than I expected! Great experience, friendly service… highly recommended!

Spent some time in the shop liquidating some coins that belonged to my late father. Worked with Carl, Steve, Art, and Ed with the coins and Nick on some if the antiques that were almost tossed. I would, and have recommended Archies for anyone who wants an honest estimate from professional and knowledgeable staff. I enjoyed listening and learning from all of them.

Always go their to get some 90% silver. Premiums are a bit high but cheaper than other coinshops. I recommend this spot to serious investors. Their junk 90% isnt even junk! Got many au quality pieces.

Best price I was offered on a gold ring by 30%. I don’t know if I’m a special case or got lucky somehow, but they brought the most competitive offer by a long shot.

I FINALLY decided to sell some gold. A few weeks ago, I took some things to a jeweler who has completed repairs for me for at least fifteen years, and whom I trust implicitly. I didn’t bother to check around, although an alarm should have gone off in my head when he said that his offer was good for only one day. A few days later, I gathered up some more items and visited Archie’s first. I was impressed by the fact that the gentleman immediately notified me that one of the bands was platinum rather than 14K. He made me an offer for everything, and there was no pressure. I then drove to my jeweler to see what he would offer. Needless to say, his offer was significantly less. The next day, I drove back to Archie’s with my bag of goodies. I was greeted, and my items were weighed again. The same offer as the previous day was made, and needless to say, this time I accepted it!
I mentioned that I was impressed with their honesty regarding that platinum, and was merely told «We want you to be happy»! So, I was, and I am. I’ll be
back and would definitely refer others.

Honest and competitive that is all you can ask for in this business.
Brought in a bag of my clients coin collection, all silver no key dates. The gent behind the counter counted the coins, his tally came out the same as mine. They don’t pay spot price that is how they make their money, but if you need to sell quickly you can’t do any better.
They also have very good prices on Wheat pennies and Buffalo nickels. Many of the scummy pawn shops won’t touch these.

One of my most fond memories growing up was going to Archie’s with my grandpa. Having started a coin collection with my grandpa at a young age, it was only inevitable that at some point we’d visit a coin store to look at all the old coins and maybe if I was lucky enough, get to buy one. Normally, my coins came from my grandpa’s old jars of change he had saved for years, and all I had to do was sort through them and find the keepers, but once I received the Whitman folders for pennies for Christmas one year, it became clear that I needed a 1909 VDB (obtaining the S-​VDB was out of the question even to this day!). This was back in 1992 or 93, and I remember the place being small, smelling of «old» (gotta love that), and being run by a very friendly man who happily assisted my grandpa and myself in our purchase of my first 1909-​VDB.
I hadn’t been there in years, so about two years ago I stopped by for old times’ sake. After being buzzed in, I was immediately taken aback at how much this little place had changed. It seemed obvious this place had turned into another one of those «Cash for Gold» places once they realized they couldn’t make money off selling non-​commodities like old pennies and stamps anymore. The only coins they had in the display case were gold coins or mint/​commemorative big silver. They carried a decent selection of gold jewelry as well. There was a group of about 5 or 6 older men sitting around at a table toward the back of the store talking about the gold market, cheap customers, and overall speaking like sailors. When they saw me browsing, they all gave me the stink-​eye. I didn’t look like a client apparently, since no one came to ask if I needed anything. Eventually I asked if they carried coin flips and one man grudgingly got up and wallowed over to where he keeps his coin flips and tossed them on the counter. I ended up buying some, and then I returned about a year later and bought some more. That time, the place was full of shady-​looking individuals trying to pawn off some jewelry to an employee.
I rate this place a 2, for the readily available coin flips, and for the fact that they DO carry some antiques, albeit expensive. That’s proof they’re not just in it for the gold and silver, they still have a soft spot for old toy trucks and such. It is at least fun to look at. However, I do miss the old days where you’d walk in to such a store and be mesmerized by all the coins you wish you could have but could never afford (me as a kid). Though, I understand the situation and realize they would have never stayed in business in such a manner.
By the way, I still have that ’09 VDB.
