"Called. Told them what I had. Told them I had a hour drive. Said they were interested in everything but couldn't give a price. So I drove there. Got insult d soon as I walked in and they bought 1 of 6 items... Wow."

"Such a knowledgeable staff friendly and attentive as well! have been going here for decades! I have introduced my children to the store as they collect as well"

"I'm posting 4stars because, I've sold a lot of my Morgans and peace dollars to them at a fraction of their value. Over 50 one dollar silvers. For a FRACTION! of there value. That being said. They still paid me better than anyone else, from Cincinnati to Indianapolis. And everywhere else. So when they said we pay top dollar, they didn't lie. They have been really nice to me. They did give my a great price for a key date that made me very happy. I really like there store and I would recommend it to others. If I had more time on earth I would have kept my collection and built it up more but you just can't take it with you. So I sold a good bit of it to have fun. Thanks Crossroads coins for everything. God bless."

"I understand they "have" to profit. They're buying, for the most part, MONEY. Currency. I'm aware gold and silver prices fluctuate. But say someone goes to the US Mint and buys (or sees one they already own) a silver proof set for $219. But then 6 months later they have an emergency and need cash. They could theoretically sell the set for $125-$149 on eBay (that's what they were going for). But they need the cash sooner. So they go to the friendly {ahem} neighborhood coin store. As is routine, they get bent over with an insulting offer of $50 from the owner, knowing the person will accept because, probably - they REALLY need money. So they're paying the customer LESS THAN 25% of its actual value - for silver/currency worth way more than $50. They'll probably tag it at 3x that to sell it with a toothy grin, advertising it as a "killer deal." It's not necessarily dishonesty, but definitely taking advantage of people who are paying customers in a crunch. Unfortunately, it's the closest place (and most knowledgeable, for better or worse) around that buys the sets. I'm all about capitalism, but this place is a disgusting side of it. Worse than a dishonest pawn shop (and I love most pawn shops). And after this practice happens to you a couple times...it's very difficult to be friendly with them when walking into the shop. And don't even get me started on the so-called "trading card" part of the shop..."Joe's." It amazes me either part has been in business for so long."
