This is the greatest currency and stamp store of all time. I have built my coin, banknote, and stamp collection from nothing starting all at this store. The proprietor is also very knowledgeable, he is an expert in everything from numismatics, notaphily, and philately and anything to do with these subjects. So I would highly recommend going to this shop, it has the best pricing on everything.

The owner has hundreds - probably thousands - of snail mail stamps available AT COST. It's a great place to go if you're looking for unique postage to use for friends' gifts or etsy orders 😊 The store hours can be sporadic - he posts them on the door - so make sure to call ahead before making the trip!

The guy is NICE, and he knows about coins and stamps. He's not "ignoring" you if he doesn't respond. He's a little older, and he has a hearing aid. Make sure to speak up when you talk with him. Cash only to buy things here. Study the market online before you buy or sell here... and I mean exactly to the last detail, so you feel happy with it afterwards.

Decent place to sell coins. Old-fashioned service and immediate payment. Foster is very busy but he gives a fair price in tune with the market. Will make the time to go through your stuff, concentrates on the market, and doesn't tolerate interruptions. I appreciate the fact that his focus is on the deal. Would definitely go there again.

Questions & Answers

Do they also buy stamps from outer state.

WE BUY STAMPS from EVERYWHERE, including OUTER SPACE. We had three astronauts and an ex-cosmonaut come to our SHOP over the 45 years we've been here. Sadly, none of them brought stamps from OUTER SPACE.

We are always committed to giving the BEST prices to our CUSTOMERS. We have been in business for over 45 years in this location near the UC BERKELEY campus. Many of our customers have returned multiple times after comparing prices at other shops. We stand by our TOP DOLLAR designation!!

What time do they close

Our HOURS are FLEXIBLE. We are in the SHOP most days, but CALL AHEAD IS BEST. We are available by TELEPHONE 510-845-3015 for serious transactions--this is the BUSINESS CELLPHONE, so we will make sure you get the TOP DOLLAR.
