What a wonderful way to start a Friday with dealing with Albany coin exchange. I had some gold coins that needed to be looked at and sold. I found this place based off its excellent reviews and supporting a family business is a must. I was greeted by a wonderful kind woman who was the owner of the establishment. She listened to my needs and got to work quickly assessing the coins. Another positive thing was being greeted by her sweet cats! I am very pleased with the results she gave me. I feel confident in coming back to this place for future business interactions. I highly suggest everyone go to Albany coin exchange. I will spread the word to my family and friends. Thank you so much for being in business and thank you for being so nice!

The Albany Coin Exchange is truly an outstanding gold and silver shopping experience.The sales people are very knowledgeable and you learn so much about the metals that no other place will teach you. Overall 5 star for everything.They took time and explained everything to me without putting pressure to buy.

I had a US Gold Eagle coin to sell. I checked the current rate for gold and had a list of gold and coin buyers I was going to call. I called the Albany Coin Exchange and they offered to buy the coin at only $15 under current market value (rounding cents down). I didn’t bother to call the others. The woman behind the counter was very friendly and chatted with me while we worked, and then had me double check the amount on the check because she noted that sometimes when people are chatting and working, a mistake could be made. There wasn’t. I’d recommend them to anyone.

The dealer for precious metal never has enough inventory. Albany Coin Exchange always has it in stock while their competitors always run out. Highly recommended.

This is the best place in the area for buying and selling gold and silver. The manager is very helpful, knowledgeable and cool as well.

Made my first ever purchase here, excellent experience! Every review mentions how pleasant the lady is, yes the rumors are true.

I have grown my coin collection to the max. I go here to replenish my old and new coins from their wide selection. They always have a lot to choose from and they’re constantly getting new ones in.

They are always consistent and honest about pricing. They have been in business for 40 years and you can tell they are experts in the industry.

and offers very good prices and nice coins.

The owner is extremely honest, knowledgeable and professional and I really enjoy doing business with her. She does her best to come through for the customer is every way; if she can’t help with something it is not because she doesn’t want to- it’s out of her control. I definitely would recommend this business: I liked my transactions regarding some Mexican Libertad 1 oz coins and a Claddagh gold ring. I have only praise for her and good things to say and I am proud that the Albany Coin Exchange is part of our Albany, CA community.

Just sold two gold coins. Very fair price. Honest, friendly, and fast.

I did a lot of research — you can easily find out the price of gold online– around $1380/ounce right now.

Most places will either 1. Lie to you about how much gold is in your coin, jewelry, or whatever; or 2. Low ball you, i.e. offer to pay a fraction of what the gold is worth.

Albany coin exchange accurately appraised my gold (92% pure on one coin and 58% pure on the other– I had documentation to support this, but they verify). Then they explained the fair market value of the gold, and how much they would pay for it (85% of market value). This 15% cut is their cost of doing business and having the gold extracted by a foundry.

This is a very reasonable fee. Most fair market offers are for 70-80% of the value. Any sleazy “Cash 4 Gold” place will more likely give you 30%. If you have gold to sell, this is the place to do it.

I visited several dealers before coming here and checked the internet. I had some gold and silver coins that I had inherited and wished to sell. No haggling like other places I tried. Albany offered the highest price of the places I contacted. The sale was conducted efficiently and very politely. I had no problems cashing their check. I would do business with this dealer again!

The people working at this business are wonderful! Excellent and fair service. It was well worth it to drive all the way out to Albany. I wouldn’t hesitate a second to use Albany Coin Exchange, again.

Albany Coin is a great place to buy and sell coins and currency. The owner is knowledgeable, friendly and fair. She has a nice selection of coins and gold and silver. I have bought and sold coins there over a number of years.

I’ve sold a lot of gold coins and scrap gold to them over the last several years. Why don’t I bother with anyone else anymore? Because I get the best and honest price from Albany. Besides, the owner is very pleasant to chat with. Don’t go to the pawn shop, go to Albany Coin if you want an honest deal. Thanks.

I had a group of gold jewelry items that belonged to my family, but that no one wants assessed in Burlingame, CA. The price seemed low, given the number of pieces I wanted to sell, so I took the same items to Albany Coin Exchange on Solano Avenue. The place is organized, private, and the staff was professional.

The price offered at Albany Coin Exchange was about 120% higher than what was offered at Numis, so of course I sold the items here. I assume I got a much fairer deal than I was originally offered in Burlingame, so I’d highly recommend Albany’s fairer and more appropriate price!
