Belvidere Collectible Coins

880 Belvidere Road, Belvidere, IL 61008

"I literally went in there to check the temperature of the location. Read the Google reviews and from what I read, this guy was the man to check out for his expertise on coin collecting. Needless to say, I was a bit disappointed. I came in there with a tube of coins to see if the reviews held true. I walked in waited a couple of minutes, not long and said “Hey. I was told you were the guy to come to if I want to see if my coins are worth a damn.” He responded, well let’s see what you have. Very cool dude to say the least, I have no problem with him personally. He continues before opening the plastic tube of coins saying quote “We are usually looking for things like gold and silver in the coin… war coins, Indian head pennies, buffalo nickels, etc.,.. I had none of those. But I was quite surprised to see how quickly he scanned through my coins and didn’t notice the “1970 S mint double died” penny in the bunch and proceeded to say “These coins have no value.” Now…. Maybe he was in a rush or maybe I didn’t look the part of a coin collector because I dress quite urban and have dreadlocks but I was baffled that he didn’t catch that or didn’t have time to see the penny. I told him about the bicentennial quarters I had as well. I didn’t pull those out because he was so disinterested in the bunch that I presented to him that he automatically dismissed anything I had to show him next. That’s fine. I was just seeing if he would catch that penny and how good of an eye he had for these coins. There was also a “1965 D mint dime” with a missing “W” in the “ In God “We” trust part of the dime. A double died 1977 nickel and the 1955 penny which he caught strangely but didn’t bat an eye at that one. I think it has more to do with having “SUPER RARITY” in his eyes and gold and silver which skews his view on what’s valuable or not. I wish he and I would’ve sat down and really looked at what I had. Either way. It is a VERY NICE establishment and I wish him nothing but the best. I even bought a red sleeved silver In bicentennial set from him."
