Go see Phil! He was AWESOME! He's very knowledgeable and was sincerely honest. He'll answer all your questions respectfully. He didn't treat me like I didn't know anything, even though I didn't. He was laid back and very friendly!
I had old jewelry that I knew I wouldn't wear again. There were small gold hoops that were broken, small bracelets and rings that I didn't think were worth much. Phil even bought the silver I had. Basically if it's real, they'll buy it- and NOT rip you off! I got over $700, when I didn't even think I'd get $500!
Truly, Phil was GREAT! The chain I was wearing had a broken hook that I was thinking of just having soldered back together. He explained that it would probably cost me more to have it done, than getting a new one. So I decided to sell that tiny little 24k gold hook and got $64 for it! He even gave me a temporary fix for my chain until I could get it home and put a new hook on it. They don't normally do this- remember they are a coin shop not a jewelry store- but that's how COOL Phil was!
If you think this is all an advertising ploy and hyped up- it's not. I totally trust Phil and W. Seattle Coin. It was well worth the drive from Tacoma and I know I won't be going anywhere else when I need to sell my precious metals and gems. Oh, he totally knows about collectable and rare currency/coins, too. I collect $2 bills and he explained/showed me the differences. He is after all a Professional Numismatist!
Thanks again Phil!
