Columbia Coin Co Inc

"Extremely friendly and helpful. All my questions were answered with expertise… The business was clean and well organized. No pressure to buy. I would highly recommend this business."

"Rude for no reason. The minute he thought I had nothing for him he turned and walked away while I was talking and never turned back around. Yikes even with the best price I would never spend my money or my time here again unless it was owned or and staffed by someone with manners"

"Rude guy, bad energy. Went in with 200 Morgan and Peace dollars, they weren't interested in taking the time to evaluate them. 'You can sort them yourself into piles and then if you want to sell we can give you a price'. This doesn't work, you're going to disagree with how I have sorted them since we aren't using the same standards and then we are going to have to resort them together anyhow and discuss. You save no one time this way... Their price sheet offered $10 for average Morgans, lowest I have ever heard. You'll get a higher price elsewhere, for sure, was quoted $20 yesterday from a private collector here in Portland. Sold over 14k worth of coins and never had a buyer say that 'you sort them and if you want to sell them we will tell you how much we'd offer.' Usually they talk with you and establish rapport, do a walkthrough together and you negotiate price. They evaluate, offer price, seller decides. I would not return here, he walked away from the table mid conversation. Arrogant, egoist. Clearly better things to do than work with a smaller scale coin collector. I worry about the older folks or newbies John rips off offering them 1/3 of the price for their goods, taking advantage of their lack of knowledge. Called the other place up on Powell, very friendly, better energy and they have a 4.9 rating as opposed to John's much lower rating....note, they offer about 3 times as much as John was offering for the same coins. Yes, 3 times as much. Go elsewhere or sell to a private party, these folks are simply too busy and have absurdly low prices for you. A joke. Read all the reviews here, you are going to see themes of rudeness, low balling, and disrespect. Pay attention to these..."

"I recently shopped at Columbia Coin Co INC, I found the owner John to be a very amicable gentleman, he was very informative and happy to answer questions. I highly recommend Columbia Coin to everyone . It's my newly discovered go to place. I was as satisfied as if I just had a bowl of fine Haagen Das vanilla ice cream."

"Went in today to sell a Gold Canadian Dollar. John (owner) was busy with another customer and immediately got his assistant to help me. I spent a pleasant 10 minutes talking with this gentleman who showed John the coin, got a very fair and reasonable offer (NY spot closing price minus about 5%) and a check was written. I have used this business about 3 times over the last 10 years and I have never had less than a pleasurable and professional experience. I don't understand some of the previous negative comments other than they thought the value of their property was worth more, ie unrealistic expectations."
