Columbia Coin Co Inc, Portland OR

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.

There's a reason why I come from quite a distance to do business at Columbia Coin. They are top notch in my book! And Jonathan is a "straight shooter, " with valuable experience he's happy to share.

Called three times to enquire on various items this last year. Once I was told to "Check E Bay" for an item then hung up on. Another time I was asking about world silver, and then told that they deal with primarily American coins, and hung up on. The third time I got a younger guy who answered my questions politely. Soooo progress?
