Fort Knox of Alameda

"Not what I expected when I first walked in. There wasn't any fancy display cabinets filled with shiney gold and silver for me to look at. Then again, why should there be? The shiney object started with what Mike had to offer me in the terms of knowledge. Mike is straight forward and while a bit gruff (which I kinda enjoy), he was totally kool to deal with, a straight shooter indeed. I definitely will be stopping back by again. Thanks Mike"

"Wow, haven't visited Mike and Linda since Covid. My mistake! Linda is still amazingly helpful and generous with her expertise. Mike shares memes with me, utterly amazing. We talked current news and what not, always enjoyable to speak with a fellow State of Jefferson champion. Had to raise some cash and reluctantly sold off a 100 oz Engelhard silver bar. It's always horrible to me, I feel like I'm selling off a child. I still think of bar tabs and any receipt really in ounces of silver. Got the best price from these folks, a buck under spot. It was the furthest away, but I hadn't visited in a longgg time so rather than going to someone closer, I made the long trek to Alameda. Still highly recommend this shop, easy street parking and there's actually some armed security on the Lincoln Ave. side due to the weed dispensary there. Nicee."

"Very fair. Great doing business with them. I highly recommend. I will be coming back soon for more coinage very soon. Thank you"

"Great place. Knowledgable. Paid a fair price. Some unique pieces."

"Early 2022, I walked in with a sleeve of walking/standing liberties. He said " I can't do anything with these, I can give you scrap value" I was astonished. Scrap? They were never touched. 2 weeks later I saw one with a sold sign on it. He threw me out of the store. I have business ro do!!! Remember that Pal. Being a retired S.S. guy fron DC I bit my tongue hoping he would touch me. No such luck. I suspected they were stolen. He didn't care.never asked.Gobble gobble"
