T.E.Merritte Coins, Numismatist & Gemologist, G.G. (GIA)

"I had a collection to sell and googled around LA to find some numismatists (a new term for me). I looked at reviews and found that Tim had the most glowing human sounding reviews. I reached out to him and he indeed turned out to be the best. I met with him at his place in Pasadena and had a wonderful experience as he appraised my collection and offered a reasonable amount for the collection. Tim clearly has a passion for coins and wants to help others to process their collections and offer them the best value for what they have. Highly recommended."

"Recently I got interested in collecting and researching coins. I couldn’t find a lot of help on how to begin and what to do and in my area. I found this man’s dealership on the ANA website and saw that he serviced the Central coast area where I like to visit. I called his phone number and spoke with him about possibly meeting. He is very easy to talk to and made it very apparent that he was willing to meet and share his unlimited knowledge and experience with me. I asked him how much it would cost, and he said it would cost me nothing. About two weeks later, I went on a small vacation to the area and called ahead to meet with him which he was eager and most flexible about what day and time would be best for me. I met with him at his office and spent over an hour soaking up his knowledge and getting all my questions answered. I am grateful to him and glad I found someone willing to provide knowledge and customer service that is almost nonexistent these days. Again there was no charge and he actually gave me a coin to take home. So, if you are a new coin collector or even have been at it a while, I would recommend calling Tim and going to see him. He will point you in the right direction no matter what your numismatic needs! Thanks again Tim ! Jeff D."

"Tim is a wealth of knowledge and generous with his expertise. I consider him an honest broker and a trusted professional."

"I had a wonderful experience with Tim! His knowledge is incredible, and he is genuine and straight forward! I feel much more prepared and informed moving forward with the potential sale of my diamonds."

"I recently had the pleasure of seeking the expertise of Tim to assess a coin collection I inherited. The experience was truly enlightening, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service provided. From the moment I arrived, Tim's passion for numismatics was evident. His extensive knowledge of coins, along with his willingness to answer all my questions, left me feeling confident that my collection was in the best hands. Not only did he skillfully evaluate each coin, but Tim also took the time to explain the intricate details that determine their value. What stood out most was Tim's willingness to empower me with invaluable tricks and tips to assess my coins independently. Tim's generosity in sharing this knowledge will undoubtedly aid me in making well-informed decisions in the future. I wholeheartedly recommend Tim to anyone in need of professional numismatic guidance. Their expertise, approachability, and genuine interest in assisting coin enthusiasts make them a true gem in the world of numismatics. Thank you once again for a truly positive experience that has enriched my appreciation for numismatic treasures."
