Gainesville Gold Dealers

"Rick is a Gainesville Legend. He is square dealing and reliable . He always has customers.....so he must be doing something right!!!!"

"You have not lived until you stop by and visit with Diamond Rick! The pawn shop atmosphere is tangible and Rick has a thousand stories to tell. But entertainment value aside, Rick is a solid businessman and has been in the community over 30 years. I bring my gold coins in to sell and he is straight up and honest, paying full spot price for my coins. I also love to keep my eyes open for a purchase value, and my wife was VERY happy with the electric fireplace insert I got her for Christmas. You just never know what you will find here!"

"Possible fake gold seller or scammer, buyer beware. This business entity is the same as Best Jewelry & Loan Pawn Broker in Gainesville, I visited this business today and here is my review: Owner is highly insecure and suspiciously hostile toward anyone who wants some type of verification of the authenticity of his gold before buying it. Owner claims to stock various gold coins for the literally unbelievably low price of just $20 over spot for any coin he had in stock (including a variety of maples, eagles, mexican coins, etc.) Owner was extremely verbally abusive toward me when I asked to see gold coins on a precious metals verifier, claimed verifiers don't work, even though this is what almost any reputable gold dealer uses to test coins before buying or selling. Instead, to instill confidence in the authenticity of the coins he was selling, he showed me he had the materials required to perform the acid test. So I said ok fine, show me the acid test, but then he told me he can't do the acid test either because he doesn't want to damage the coin. (I believe this is hogwash because I once saw a jeweler perform an acid test on his daughter's wedding right in front of me and it did not damage the ring whatsoever nor did the jeweler appear to perceive any loss in value of the ring.) At this point I became highly suspicious so I asked if I could even perform a simple flick test (any gold bug knows the characteristic ring of a gold coin when you flick it) yet amazingly, this shop owner would not even let me flick a gold coin in his shop. This is EXTREMELY suspicious. Then he proceeded to get angry and start cursing me out and eventually kicked me out of his shop. All the while I maintained a calm demeanor and even made sure to show him the cash so he knew I was a serious buyer. I have been to many gold dealers in many different states and never witnessed anything like this before. In my opinion the only logical reason for this level of insecurity would be a lack of confidence in the authenticity of the gold he's selling. Buyer beware"

"I went to all the coin dealers, gold buyers, and pawnshops in Gainesville, FL and this place pays the most for gold and silver coins...they look up the value and pay full spot for all US gold and silver coins... I would recommend this place to anyone who wants the most for their valuables. The store is located conveniently in downtown Gainesville. The process was fast and easy and they paid cash on the spot. The owner was very nice and friendly."
