I'm taking a day trip over to east Houston tomorrow morning. I'm not from the area, and we'll only be in the eastern part of the city. Anyone know of some good coin shops i can visit while we're there?
I live in the Friendswood area. Only coin shop that I know of on my side is Williams Coins on Bay Area Blvd. www.williamscoins.com Have used them a few time, they are friendly and sometime give cash discounts.
Even better is to use the Coin Zip tool for finding a dealer: http://www.coinzip.com/coinDealers.php If you want an ANA member dealer, the ANA website has their own tool for this: https://www.money.org/find-a-dealer
East side of Houston TX ? LOL I'am guessing you don't know much about houston.Sorry I'am not trying to be rude.I love tx with all heart but the east side of h town is not a very nice place.That's all I will say.So be safe& careful.
So we've actually decided to hit the downtown area. The friend we're meeting lives in west Houston buy were coming from Louisiana so we suggested east Houston. She corrected is also hahaha. Thanks for all the suggestions
Yes there are coin collectors on the east side, you don't want to know how they obtained their collections!
Collectors Coin shop in Bellaire is disorganized but he has a lot of stock. Ask for what you want he keeps most in a safe in back. Williams coin is very organized and his salespeople are nice but it's pretty far south of town. I have never been to royal coin shop but its close to collectors. I have also gone to auctions at websters auction place in north Houston. It looks like a dive but they occasionally have nice slabbed coins. Just be sure to add in the 10% or 15% to your bid price and another 3% if you use credit cards. Your good deal can be a bad deal if you don't bid correctly. The auctions have all kinds of stuff (jewelry, guns, furniture, ect.) so if you've never been to a live auction its fun. http://collectorscoinshop.net/ http://royalcoins.com/ http://webstersauction.com/2015/10/19/new-years-day-auction-january-1st-1pm/
