J & J Coins & Stamps 7019 Calumet Avenue, Hammond, IN 46324

"Always been honest with me. Nice people tons of stuff."

"Dishonest owners beware. I made a purchase and was distracted purposely by owner so he didn't give me my change. I believe that he also pocketed the sales tax I paid. Been same for some time. Don't know how he stays in business."

"Went here on two occasions. Once to buy junk silver. They wanted what amounts to 35 percent above spot!!! On common 90 percent silver halves, quarters, dimes! Ok, so they charge so much above spot, maybe they pay well, right? Wrong! Went there with an XF at least condition 1913 gold quarter eagle... regardless of what it grades as, there was 180 dollars worth of gold in it... offered me 143!!! Guys were nice enough, but they do try to rip you off! Also I want to add when I asked how much they would pay if i sold them my pre 65 90% silver coins they said 9.40 per dollar face!! Current spot was at 13 per dollar face! I know they have to make some money on it but that's rediculously low especially considering how much they charge for pre 65 silver coins."

"I had a blast at J & J. I phoned first and the man gave me the parking directions and what to expect when I got there to sell him some coins. I walked in to the most eclectic store - beer steins, coins, stamps, vases, collectibles, jewelry. John went through my coins which I had organized with a written list so it was easy for him to see what I had. Meanwhile I talked with Jacob and another gentlemen and we told stories. I felt like I was one of the guys! I checked out my coins ahead of time online and there is a difference between seller value and buyer value - I got about what I expected and was happy to have them out of my house. I will definitely go back!"

"Was there today with a friend of mine the old man was rude and wanted to rip us off went somewhere else had my coins estimated got offered 4 times the amount he wanted to pay me. Really rude man hope he changes his attitude towards customers. I would definitely recommend going somewhere else."
