I stopped by while in town to see what sort of selection they would have and I purchased a nice little addition to my Gold and Silver coin collection from Rocky Mountain Coins. I was treated well and feel as if I got a fair price for what I purchased! Would reccomend, they have a nice selection!!

Update: Stopped in today (5/20), and the owner threatened me with physical violence. Other reviews here have stated the owner needs a therapist, and after my experience today, I can see why. I would no longer recommend going here. Original review: As a longtime customer, I’ve been asked by an employee to leave an honest review. As an artist, I stop in from time to time in search of oddities, interesting coins, and unusual jewelry. I don’t spend much, usually, but what I find are essential pieces of a greater whole. This is a family-owned business. As we know, there are two types of those—the ones that are great places to work, where employees feel appreciated and supported, and ones that are not. I have had nothing but lovely experiences with Kris, who I believe is the office manager, as well as a high-energy middle-aged man who was quite chatty, but in the best possible way. I’ve also had occasional courteous interactions with the security guard. Aside from them, I would describe the general feel of the place as paranoid and suspicious of everything and anything. In my most recent visit earlier this week, the fact that I am a straight man with nail polish made one of the salespeople deeply uncomfortable, almost fearful. I think that speaks volumes. I’ve observed that employees are not allowed to use the cash register or handle money, which is idiosyncratic in a store that almost entirely sells used money. To me, this suggests a lack of trust in employees to do their jobs. I’ve noticed that the owner (an old German man in his late 60s to mid 70s) tends to hover over the salespeople and office staff, sometimes verbally berating them in front of customers for minor infractions. In my most recent visit, the owner suggested that the salesperson (Bill, I believe. Decent guy, as far as I can tell) that had been showing me collectible silver items (and catching up on each other’s lives, as you do in customer relationship building) was wasting his time (the owner’s, presumably) bs-ing with customers when he could instead be doing his job. Which begs the question—as a salesperson, if his job isn’t to sell items to customers, then what is his job? How would his time be better spent? I’d love to pick their brain on that. On that note, I will say that each time I stop in, I leave with unanswerable philosophical quandaries. I rather like it, I think. Keeps me sharp. I’ve noticed that employees seem constantly unsure of themselves, which as a survivor of trauma myself, is telling of the day-to-day toll that a micromanager can have on morale and well-being. On the whole, it’s an okay store. Prices are often higher than the local competition, but they do have a larger selection. I can’t speak to the claims that the owner refuses to sell certain items to certain people, but I am also not a high-dollar customer, so who knows. Some of the people that work there are great. Some aren’t. But that’s true of anywhere. It’s my view that you should always take overly positive and overly negative reviews with at least a few grains of salt. Sometimes companies demand that family members post glowing reviews in an attempt to prop up a customer experience, that, if they had the capacity for self-reflection, may see that all is not up to par. Sometimes a company’s employees may be having a particularly bad day, and a customer gets the short end of the stick. I've worked in retail, so I know that customers can grind you down with repetitive questions until you're nothing but nubs. So, TL;DR: 3 out of 5. Could be better. Could be worse. You be the judge. Added a pic of an item I bought once (a silver bird) in the context of a larger piece.
