Covina Coin & Jewelry 204 South Citrus Avenue, Covina, CA 91723

"About 2 years ago I bought over $2000 in eagles, rounds and bars from this shop. I subsequently brought two other friends who bought a substantial amount also. It had been some time since I had been here, so I came back the second time, I stepped in and re‐acquainted myself with the staff but I think they forgot, I had purchased from them. This time around I was browsing and I only had a few hundred to spend. So the level of interest and service just wasn't there. The third time I came they didn't even bother to get up and help me. I think they felt I was a low budget customer so maybe I wasn't so important. Long story short I won't be shopping here anymore. Little did they know I was interested in buying a over 10k in silver which I bought somewhere else. Thanks but no thanks."

"This place is no good. The lady, looked at my silver instead of properly weighing it and said $10, I brought in some old jewelry. Customer service was not an option, the lady who works here, didn't even bother to get up or greet me as a Customer. I am a Navy Veteran and I would suggest any Veteran or anyone else looking to sell gold/silver to go someone else. They ask for over 5% spot price, 5% is ok, however if you are paying over this your actually taking a hit. They want about 10% over spot, which is ridiculous.Coin and Silver exchange in upland is a great place to do business, not here."

"I was looking to buy 2000 MILLENNIUM SETS. Called the stored number. Talked to "BIG LEE". He was rudely screaming into the phone the entire conversation. Said he would check his inventory to see. I called back a couple days later , he answered that he wanted $100 each , the entire time rudely screaming at me into the phone. Tried to negotiate the price, he continued to yell at me how much he wanted for the sets. Price was was to high. I finally just said screw it. Do not know how this place stays in business . Worst case of unprofessionalism ever. STAY AWAY !! Lee is a complete basket case !!!"

"I've been there twice and both times they've been awesome. They were very straight forward and professional the first time I was in which is refreshing after dealing with a few shady pawn shops that said things like "sorry brother, we can't pay you melt weight for your silver coins with ".999 1 oz. Pure fine silver" stamped on them that weighed out to the thousanth decimal place on our own scale, but I'll give you $10 for the pair and that's the best I can do. I mean they're only face valued a dollar anyways, I'd say you'd be coming up big time." On my second visit I stayed a little longer and kinda chatted up the guy there while drooling over all the awesome currency and coins. He even through in a 1937 $1 silver certificate after I professed my love of paper currency as a bonus. I was stoked. Great store, good people with loads of knowledge, and very fair prices when buying and generous offers when selling. I would highly recommend."

"A traditional "Mom and Pop" coin shop! They've been at this location for 25 years now, so they must be doing something right. If you're looking to sell old coins, go in with an open mind. A coin that you looked up on the internet, doesn't mean that's what it's worth! Everything has to do with mintage (date and mint-mark), and condition! If you want to buy or sell bullion, they are the best in the San Gabriel Valley for inventory and pricing!"
