Old Pueblo Coin

I've been buying and selling at OPB since they were in the 'skinny' shop, back when Daddy Jack's was an institution in Tucson. (I hate to admit, it was 1982, I was barely 20 years old, and had just 'graduated' from the UA) The store has moved around Speedway, each time moving up to a larger, brighter shop. But still the same guys, for the most part. It's been fun growing old, and watching everyone grow up over the years. It's the main group of people that have been there over the years that makes OPC, by far, the best coin shop in Tucson !

Made my first purchase from a state away. Sent an email and got a very rapid response. All communication was quick. I was able to work with James and had an excellent transaction. I received the coin today it looks even better in person. I had a previous experience with The Engineer that was also excellent but did not make a purchase at that time. Glad I finally got to buy a coin from OPC. Coin arrived safe and fast. Very easy transaction. Definitely will make another purchase when something they have catches my eye.

My wife & I visited Old Pueblo Coin 2 days ago. We were traveling through from the San Diego area. We like to visit coins shops on our RV travels. We had such a pleasant experience and purchased several coins. Dave was so patient & helpful. He even pulled a few books from the safe for me to go through. We also had a great conversation with Stephanie. We 100% recommend their shop and we will be back on our next trip.

Visited Old Pueblo Coin yesterday to sell my high school class ring. I was offered a fair price based on the going rate of gold per gram. The first place I went offered me the lowest price for a 10K gold ring. It was no where near the price I was offered at Old Pueblo Coin. I recommend going there to sell your gold and silver items. You will get a top offer right off the bat. Highly recommend the fine folks at Old Pueblo Coin!

Let me just state, if you want to go to a great coin shop, go someplace else. I am a avid collector and I know how much items are worth. Every so often I pop in to this shop and inquire about value of items, coins, bars, rounds, etc. Almost 95% of the time the are trying to cheat you. They off prices comparable to any Pawn Shop. I understand people need to make money, but to knowingly know a piece is valuable and offer a fraction of its worth is super unethical. For example: last week I took a rare Morgan Silver dollar in for their appraisal, I was offered $25 at Old Pueblo, I took the same coin to Ambassador, and Arizona Coin and received appraisals of over $200. Now, I know the value of this coin, but the shear contrast of professionalism is amazing. This hasn't been the only item, I have taken Gold Coins, Peace Dollars, and other rare coins and always get a low price offer from OPC. This week in fact, I took a coin in, one appraiser gave me a quote of $149, I declinded, he asked for another opinion from the other appraiser that was there, he barely looked at the coin and had no knowledge is the first appraisers offer and walked by and said $45. This place is a joke, I think the only honest Appraisers are Ben, and the hispanic lady that works at this shop. They are the only thorough inspectors of items and offer a reasonable price, comparable to Arizona Coin and Ambassador. Not sure who the other guys working the counter are, but they are not only non personable but they dismiss you and your items before even looking at them. I will tell you this, I will never take any items to this coin shop again for an appraisal, I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but they failed time and time again. It is my suggestion, if you want a good honest appraisal or offer for your items, take them to another coin shop. They are much more reputatble in my opinion.
