Hi, can anyone recommend a coin or pawn shop in vegas on the strip. I'm staying at the Venetian so i'm hoping there's one nearby. Thanks!!
The Venetian has an ancient coin store in it. Its overpriced, and designed for non-collectors, but still its neat to go see. The same store is in Caesar's. There used to be a coin store inside the Riviera not too far from you.
Check out Sahara Coin. It is one of the largest, serious, nicest coin shops with tons of inventory I have ever been in and worth the cab fair. Last time I went it was 30 bucks for the cab, but pretty worth it. I took the bus back to the strip for two dollars. It is some miles up Sahara Ave which intercepts the strip at the Stratosphere. Just my pick! Matt
Thanks matt for the suggestion. I did find their website when doing my search...I'll have to check it out.
Are you going to buy coins or supplies? I get some of my supplies at Sahara Coin . Its on Sahara Avenue & Tenaya across from St Joseph Husband of Mary Catholic Church. Most of the coin shops you'll find in the yellow pages are predominantely pawn shops and not really dealing in coins.
I'm going there to gamble but can't gamble all day. I just started collecting for 2 months and I'm kinda hooked on it. I figure a good way to take a break from the gambling is to visit a local coin shop (hopefully with winnings!!).
