This is an incredible shop. Go visit just for fun! I promise that you will meet some great, knowledgeable, passionate people who really care about their work! I took in a large bin of inherited coins and stamps. The staff took their time, explained all their assessments, and encouraged a few keepers. The whole process was great! I loved looking around at their treasures, collectibles, artwork, unique finds. This is a gem in Bellingham!!!

The gentleman at the front desk was extremely rude. I went in with a variety of coins from the early 1800’s to 1950’s. I just asked him for an estimated value and after very briefly looking at it he told me they were worthless. I went to bayside right after that and actually got my questions answered and did receive a semi decent chuck of cash for a quarter of my collection. Point being I’d recommend “Bayside Coin and Jewelry.”

I am an upcycling artist, and love to bring new life into old things. This shop has been my own personal treasure trove over the years. I always know that RB is going to treat me as a valued customer, give me some great deals, and even get excited about my projects.

What a great shop! The staff has been very helpful as I learn about the world of bullion and coin collecting. If youre curious about precious metals, these guys are honest and have a depth of knowledge.

This is a wonderful little shop. All the staff were very nice. They gave me something for free that wasn’t priced! Also they are having a 70% off sale which will soon by 90% off so please go support them! They need your help!

I bought some silver here and let me tell you - these folks are great to work with. Whatcom County is lucky to have a shop like this in downtown Bellingham (and also very lucky to have an estate sale business like theirs, as well).The staff are friendly, and respectful to all, the owner is sharp and on top of his game, and you feel like youre really being taken care of when you do business with them. Theyre transparent and open about what exactly youre looking at, prices and values, and what it means to purchase something like I did, which, at the end of the day, is a commodity with a constantly-changing value. Its comforting to buy from a business that is worldly and knows so much about the market.I will be coming back here and giving these folks more business; I will also use them for anything I need to sell. I have seen a couple of their estate sales, also, and have already recommended them to my family and friends who are trying to liquidate their estates - I know they do a fantastic job in that line of business, as well. Go see RB and his staff!

I have been extremely satisfied with the staff here. I always come away with a positive experience. They are honest, accurate and extremely knowledgeable. Great place to do business with as far as precious metals.And their showroom actually takes more than a one time visit, always something new.

I took some jewelry here, something precious to me but time to get rid of.Ethan and Nick both greeted me and were super helpful, right away.They offered me a considerable amount more for the piece and explained why they would buy it for that price.I had previously taken it to another place in town, didn’t end up selling it and walked away feeling bad. I can’t even tell you the world of difference I experienced with Bellingham Coin Shop. They are kind, friendly, offer a comfortable experience, and are pleasant to do business with.I highly recommend for selling and buying!

I cannot possibly praise Irongate Estate/Bellingham Coin Shop more. They helped us to liquidate our property in September, 2020.We had a very complex moving situation. We have been in the process of downsizing and moving my parents, during COVID-19, from Point Roberts, WA across the border to Canada. Point Roberts is separated from mainland USA by two borders (in & out of Canada) and, with the border restrictions and safety concerns, the timing couldnt be worse. Also, there is no market for an Estate Sale out of our home, as the Point Roberts community is very small, isolated and practically empty at the moment as it mostly consists of Canadians with a 2nd vacation home who do not currently have access to their properties.Irongate Estate/Bellingham Coin Shop really came through for us and exceeded ALL expectations. The communication and response time was excellent. They showed up on the date expected and were very calm and patient during the stressful, but necessary, process. They gave our generations of belongings a 2nd chance at life as donations or to be sold by their business, rather than being sent to the dump (which was our only alternative option).The owner, R.B. Wick, also appraised the value of my fathers coin collection. He was very knowledgeable.Everyone we interacted with was helpful, personable, and empathetic including the owner who came himself on pick-up day. I also appreciated their interest in sustainability and giving back to the community by donating to those in need affected by the recent fires in Washington.I give Irongate Estate/Bellingham Coin Shop 10 out of 10 stars!

I had the best experience with Justin the jewelry buyer. Very thorough and honest about the price he paid for my 18K bracelet. I had gone to another place for an estimate and they were very shady and lied to me about the kind of gold I had. Had offered me half what I got from Justin. So glad I looked around and found this place and Justin !

What a great store. Justin is extremely kind, very knowledgeable and is quite trustworthy. Ive had nothing but positive experiences both buying and selling from this place of business. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for something in the little out of the ordinary or looking to sell antiques, coins, stamps, silver and gold.

If youre buying gifts give them silver or gold. It always has value. Bellingham C.S. has a great selection and some of the best prices in the country. If you are selling your gold or silver they are very competitive and you should call BCS to get a quote. They are happy to give you a number and let you shop it around so you get the best price!

Great place to find deals on potentially whatever youre looking for. They dont have the store space to display everything they have available, but if you ask one of the employees about a particular item theyve always been happy to help me find what Im looking for and at a great price as well! Its a great place to sell old items as well or at least get a better idea of what somethings worth. I recommend Bellingham Coin to everyone for much more than just coins. They have everything!

Bellingham Coin Shop is an awesome shop filled with amazing items and GREAT prices. This is one of my favorite shops in Bellingham because of the unique selection. The staff here are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and it’s clear that there is a lot of thought and effort put into item selection and pricing. 10/10 would recommend this shop to anyone who loves thrifting/antiquing.

Great personality and interesting items, as in fun. Justin is very polite and knowledgeable. The place may appear disorganized, but thats part of the fun I mentioned. Just ask, the staff knows where everything is. If you own a large home, you might appreciate some of the large pieces sold here. The coin collection goes on forever.

Having been involved with coins for a number of years, I can tell you that the people working at Bellingham Coin Shop are some of the most honest, trustworthy folks around. Not only that, but they are extremely competitive with pricing, and dont mind taking an extra few minutes to explain their process of pricing. Will definitely swing by when Im in the neighborhood!

I would for sure shop here again! Not only did I find a unique piece that met all my needs, but I was excited that when I got there for the second time in just a couple weeks to notice that there was lots of new items to look through. I would recommend checking them out if you like finding treasure and talking to nice people. :)

I love a good antique store and also like a good coin shop. BCS has a great antique selection, and although they dont have the biggest coin selection like they always have at least one great deal on their bullion every time I go in.

Bellingham Coin has an ever changing inventory of antiques, furniture, tools, collectibles, coins and more. Its a fun store to just go browse around and see what is currently in stock. The entire staff is friendly and very helpful. Bellingham Coin is my go to place for buying silver.

When selling your coins or antiques, Bellingham Coin was honest and very fair. I recommend them to ally friends. A very unique store indeed!!!

Review №54

Not much of a coin shop - this is a messy, difficult-to-walk-though, junk-strewn antique store (thrift store?) with only a few, sparsely-stocked display cases of coins - with no one attending them to answer questions or help. It took me over 5 minutes of stepping over other junk (furniture, old bottles, books, records, etc) to even locate the coins. When I found them, I saw only a paltry collection of the most common coins available: Morgan dollars, silver half-dollars, Buffalo Nickels and commemorative pieces. Very disappointing if youre looking for a real coin shop. Probably great if you like to go junking at antique stores (which I do). But I found the name of the place to be misleading and a waste of my time going there.

Review №58

This eclectic and cluttered store has it going!!! Friendliness and humor a la Bham style. Then they have a set of that very thing Ive been looking so hard for. Then they throw out a price I can actually truly afford! So I casually glanced over at some beautiful rugs and couldnt help leaving with very full arms. All this in 5 minutes! After they had closed, mind you! Theyve got this business thing down. I hate to shop, but will defintely be back to shop at Bellingham Coin Shop!

Dealt with this guy named Arbys and as I was talking to him about an item he literally asked some girl who didnt know anything about coins to help me and left. I was shocked. I dont believe he was listening at all. To top it off I waited 20 minutes for someone to ask if I needed help.
