Good honest shop

Went in to trade my wife's 10 oz and 5 oz silver bars for silver coins for the grand kids Christmas. Straight forward and honest shop. Third time I have been there and Tony is an honest owner. Highly recommend. Fair price for your gold and silver. Tried two other shops and I feel this is the one that I trust. Reasonable pricing and a friendly person. Go there!

Bad attiude

Watch out for this guy, he has a personallity disorder. I went to see what he had for gold or silver and when
I asked him what he had, he said he had nothing for sale and was out and everybody was was out.
Then went to sit down, so I asked about all the coins and then he came out of his seat in the back
looking very angry and said the price was to high. I thought that was a strange thing to say.
So I said you must not be interested in selling any coins?
He told me, just to go somewhere else if you don't like it. Hey you don't have to tell me twice.
How this guy stay's in business is beyond me.

Gee Wizzers, Can't a buyer ask a question?

Surely you will want to pass the place by if you don't know much about coins.

I asked a question about a rare old coin I wanted to buy and I was told "You obviously know nothing about NGC, please do your research before sending retarded questions or comments, it is a waste of time." Gee wizzers, I thought I was dealing with professionals. I'd give NO stars but the system won't accept NO stars.

THEY SUCK

FORGET COMMON COURTESY. FORGET COMMON DECENCY. TONY NEEDS TO REMEMBER WHAT HIS MOTHER TAUGHT HIM. SHOULD NOT BE IN BUSINESS. CUSTOMER SERVICE? WHAT CUSTOMER SERVICE? YOU STINK!

I have done business with this company for about 7 or 8 years and have always been treated very respectfully, and have received the

best prices available in our area.

Previous poor ratings are probably due to chronic whiners or more likely disgruntled competitors.

I suggest giving South Hill Rare Coins a fair shot. I think you will be pleased. Get a couple of quotes before you go, and see if you don't receive much more from them for your items

when you see a bunch of bad reviews and one or two good ones, you know the good ones are written BY THE STORE OWNER. Don't be fooled

Horrible Customer Service and Incorrect Business Hours Listed

Do NOT go to this store!!!The tagline for this review site says "there are winners and there are losers" and this store comes out as the biggest LOSER of all. Two years ago, our experience with them was GREAT. Three days ago, it was appalling. After speaking to a CSR on the phone, we were told that they pay the highest prices by far, of anyone (this was true two years ago). So, on Saturday, June 28, 2014 we drove the 3 HOUR trek from Bellingham to Puyallup. We arrived an hour early to make sure we had plenty of time to do our business transactions. Their website states on Saturdays they are open until 5:00 p.m. We arrived at 3:55 p.m, after driving 3+ hours to find a store that was CLOSED. Now, this in and of itself, is frankly, BS but to make matters worse I struggle with a chronic illness that makes even daily activities, a huge challenge. This type of car ride will put me in bed for several days. However, we trusted them and respected them based on our experience 2 years ago, and knew we would be paid well for our gold. I immediately sent them 2 emails and left them a voicemail explaining my personal situation and the predicament they had put me in with incorrect business hours listed on their website. But lo and behold, THREE days later I have still not heard from them! No apology, NOTHING. I have recommended them to people for a couple years as the BEST place to go and now, sadly, I have to give them the big L for LOSERS. To make that drive and the profound physical pain it caused me and to not hear back from them, is beyond appalling. Who handles customer service like that? People that do not have character and integrity, that's who. Please do not support unethical people.

What a rude business owner. I have never encountered a person who runs a business and acts like a customer is a waste of their time. Like someone else wrote, I don't know how this person stays in business. I recommend avoiding this business.

This guy is the worst. AVOID, AVOID and AVOID. Scum and rude rolled into one. Offered to purchase three coins and told I was a bottom feeder, and my insults of offeres were a waste of his time. Other dealers would love to have offers at 90% of red book values. How he is still in business is beyond me!!!

I went to this place recently, what a neat store. Large selection of nice coins. Not a hole in the wall like some of these other coin shops/gold buyers I have been too. My friend and I originally went there to check out what our coins were worth, they gave me an offer but I told them I wanted to check around. Two days later I sold to them, they were by far the highest offer I received and I felt that a couple of other places I went to were not being honest about what I had. Luckily I knew something about what I had. If you don't know what you have I truly believe you can trust this shop. Very honest and upfront about my coins.

I found this place a month or so ago, and they are terrific. I've been buying gold and silver and found their customer service extremely helpful.

It helps to have a couple badges in your back pocket. Once a badge always a badge. Make sure you are not in the alleyway. My Friend and I were from another business and they decidided to run my friend over. Because he was picketing the shop. Ask them what happened Feb of 2011.

dissapointed.

they say that they pay the most but they lied to me. i brought in an 1882 silver dollar and the guy ( which by the way was very agressive with me) said it was worth $2.75. and he said the same about my barber dime. i decided to look the coins up. the silver dollar was in fact worth 110 dollars , not 2.75. that makes furious. i would give this place -99999 stars but they wont even let me do 0 stars:(((

unfriendly

I was look at coins. The guy look at you buy some thing or get out of here.

Poor bedside manner

These guys must be expecting to be robbed every second because they were, on 2 occasions, reluctant to show me what silver coins they had, which were not displayed. The premiums were lower even than Bellevue Rare Coins but if you are looking for a 'we love our customers' attitude go somewhere else.

Not even worth it

I am divorced and have some jewelry that I don't need. I called and spoke with Tony. Explained what I wanted to sell and that I had never sold jewelry before. I asked him what the process was. He said that I would just need to bring it in and show them.He then said that he would encourage me to take my diamond somewhere and have it appraised first. I asked him if I could just bring it in and get a price. His response was, "um, no". He said that I would get a much better price if I went somewhere else and got the paperwork on the diamonds even thought I don't have to show him. I asked him what I need to do that for then if he didn't need it. He told me that they don't do that kind of work. I would need to have someone else do all that kind of work and then SH would price it for me.Excuse me? you don't want to do the work on it? you'd rather have me drive around and then you just make the sell? oh please, you just lost a customer. I bet you outbid everyone else by a buck everytime.

You will NOT be disappointed

Just wanted to say thank you to all of you at south hill rare coins. I had never sold gold before I had no idea what I was doing. I had to fly to Arizona because my Father was ill and we did not know if he would pull through. I was in shock when I recieved enough money from the gold to get a plain ticket for my husband and myself to fly back and care for him. I was treated with respect and kindness. I just want to thank you again. I will be a loyal customer for life.

YOUR ALL TALK

You go on about your great business dealings but treat people like crap. You are not nice and you talk terrible about other people. You really should try to be more professional.I hope people do shop around and see how your just as average in pay, you tell people to go away and get other quotes then come back with reports and pay more just so you will get they're business.I left your store because you were talking down about a business that has always been great to me and my friends and family. I went back there just because they treated me like a person and I was paid more then expected.Go to "be nice to your customers" SCHOOL.Shame on you.

Got the most for our items

WOW, they told me over the phone they paid the most for jewerly, gold and silver and coins. They were not lying. I tested it and went ot numerous other locations, including the two I hear on the radio up in Bellevue, they are jewerly stores that advertise they buy coins too. What a joke, there offer was by far lower than anyone else in Tacoma and what a waste of gas and time. South Hill Coins blew everyone away, they beat the best offer I had by over 40% and the they doubled the worst Bellevue offer I had. Don't waste your time and get screwed by other shops that tell you a bunch of lies and then offer you very little and not anywhere near what South Hill Rare Coins does. These guys are honest, upfront and open about it all.
