To anyone who wants to sell their coins, gold, silver or other items, I highly recommend Oakton Coins & Collectibles. We walked in and were immediately greeted by the owner, Joses, who was very nice and extremely knowledgeable. He went through our items, explained what they were along with their value. We were given a great price for everything, making the process so simple and comfortable that we came back 2 more times within one week. We also met Bruce who was equally helpful and kind. Great place, great people, great experience!

I couldnt ask for a better experience. Both gentlemen were very professional, knowledgeable, and fair. I had a great time selling and digging through their coins, while enjoying excellent conversation about the history of coins. I look forward to visiting again.

Professional, knowledgeable staff; very fair business practices in terms of getting the best price for your items. I was referred to this business by a distant family member. I definitely recommend doing business here and would come back here should I ever need this service again. Very conveniently located, very safe. I noticed many interesting items on display for sale ( if you are looking to buy). I was here 3 different times and was always able to find parking and was attended promptly once inside. I was able to conduct my business quickly regardless of the details needed to be assessed; definitely attributed to the knowledge of the person(s) attending.

Joses and Bruce are my go guys in the numismatic business! Their markup over spot is always less than their competition and their prices to buy any silver/gold im selling is always reasonable. If you are looking for a trustworthy knowledgeable coin dealer that isnt going to take advantage of you look no further!

Called around to a few places looking to sell old stamp collection and quickly found out stamp collecting isnt what it used to be. Oakton gave me fair price and higher than first place I went too. Overall everyone very friendly and professional. Thanks for the nice experience!

When I emailed them asking for an estimate for my coin collection they responded very quickly. After doing more research I quickly discovered many buyers won’t ever take the time out of their day to do this, as if to foreshadow how pleasant working with them was going to be. When we went in to sell the collection it was a phenomenal experience. The store is secure and filled with super interesting collectibles and coins. Their treatment of the collection was great. They were both incredibly knowledgeable and you could tell they knew just about everything their was to know about this business. Most importantly though, they were both fun, interesting, helpful, and they gave us a fantastic price. This store is a rare find. Cant recommend them enough.

Walked in here the other day to sell two silver bars and had a pleasant experience. I don’t quite remember the gentleman’s name but he was very professional and was able to meet me halfway. Thanks again!

I wasnt going in thinking I would be happy when I left but I was actually ecstatic. I was actually given a good rate. Not sure if it was because I was a first time customer trying to reel me in or they are really legit honest people (hard to find) but I will be going back again for sure.

***********Sellers beware!!!***********Came with my boyfriend to sell some coins. Employee was nice and awesome, beware of the tiny owner because he was beyond rude!!!! Another customer came in with some gold and it peaked our interest and my boyfriend asked if he could look at them. Owner rudely said, “NOPE! NOPE! NOPE!” And was shooing us away. He could have done it in more of a professional way instead of making us feel so small, like him. We understand that privacy is required but his attitude and demeanor was so uncalled for.Also, before armitron wearing little “big” shot went to help the other customer, he was looking at the book of coins with the employee and said to him, “you know what to pay” as if we didn’t know the value of what we brought in. The employee sadly offered us $450 for the book of 25 coins plus a valuable coin which was a rare 1889 Carson City Morgan silver dollar and we had previously brought that coin to ARCHIES COIN off of Devon Ave. for $1100 alone!!! Don’t let these people take advantage of you!!!

Awesome experience. The staff is very friendly , and they offered me very useful information. When I came in with two rings that I was interested in selling. I ended up selling only one. Decided to keep the other one and pass down in the family. 10/10 I would most certainly come here to sell again.

Highly recommend going to Oakton Coins. I went there with boxes of coins I had inherited. Staff were professional, knowledgeable and experienced. They went through my coins methodically, carefully, and quickly and answered my questions. I was happy with the price I received for my coins. They also practiced Covid precautions which I was grateful for. Check them out!

This was my first time doing business here, but it will not be my last. The gentleman behind the counter was both fried and informative, and my transaction was completed in under ten minutes.

Review №31

The team at Oakton Coins was fantastic. They were polite on the phone and very helpful in person when I brought in my coins. They were transparent as to the process and how they valued the gold and silver in my coins and how they did not value regular coins. I felt safe and appreciated how they operated. I had a good idea of value going in based on price of gold and silver and the prices they gave me were fair. I highly recommend them.

Staff were so helpful. They educated me on quality of diamonds, different types of gold, etc. Best of all, they let me know that the jewelry I sold will continue its usefulness and will be chosen by someone else one day. Very fair price that I gladly agreed to! I became a new customer today!

I’ve been a fan of this store for years. The guys that own it really enjoy what they do, and their customers (new and old) feel like they’re chatting with old friends. Their fair buy/sell pricing is worth the trip alone. Great little shop in downtown Skokie!

I had some gold that I wanted to sell - so I did some research and found Oakton Coins. Joses was very nice and accommodating. I was quite satisfied with the service and the price I received without haggling for the value of what we were offering. He also showed us the market value in real time which let us feel even more secure in the quote. I would recommend Joses at Oakton Coins to anyone looking to sell and get the greatest pay out for gold.

Review №78

I went into Oakton coin store today with my friend and ask them to see coins to buy but instead the employee or owner said we are not selling coins today I asked him why and he said we are not selling coins today or showing coins and walked away. After I left I called and talked to the same employee and asked him what day will you be selling coins. His response was other day and I asked him what day and said other day and hung up the phone on me. I have never been this respected as a customer in my life! I will never come back here... Beware!!!! Right after I went to Archie’s coin and they treated us like a customer.Replying to the owners response:Me and my friend were not aggressive at all and how can you come up with that assumption after I asked you one question?? All I said was can I see the coins you have because I want to buy one. Also, calling us “THUGS” is extremely offensive! Very Discriminating! We were both wearing gym clothes because we just left the gym at Xsport... this is against the law to do even with that sign up and with your response it proves it! I will look into this with a couple of my attorneys. In the mean time You should work on treating customers in the future as a paying customer supporting your business. I work for a university and run a landscaping business while finishing up my undergrad degree in finance with one Semester left and never would that even cross my mind to say something like that to a customer that’s called me or I met in person wanting to give me their business. You clearly enjoy belittling people with no regard for your actions.

If you need to sell gold in Chicago this is the best place to go! They helped me get rid of some old and outdated jewelry that I had been carrying around for too long!! It was nice to feel like I was getting some of my money back even after all of this time. I got a check but I think they pay in cash too. Nice little coin shop.

I was in here about a year ago and had a great conversation with the young guy working there, bought a few coins, not much at that time. Visited recently when visiting the doctors office on the corner of the block. The old guy working there was brusque. Didnt want me to come in. Certainly no browsing. If felt odd like an old capone movie.

These folks are pros and will give you the best price for your old jewelry. Even the We Buy Gold storefronts sell to them. I had a very challenging gold and silver jewelry inheritance and the guys at Oakton Coins really put the time and effort into getting me the best return on my value. I was impressed…. best prices in the Chicago area.

This is place is great, the only place Ill  trust going with my coins in Chicago. My grandma has been coming here for years and they are always friendly to her and me. Its in a fine Chicagoland neighborhood but they have to let you in by unlocking the door with a buzzer - it makes you feel safer.

I have a potentially valuable die clash double die 74 lincoln penny and these people said it was damage after the mint. If you know ANYTHING about coin errors you know doubling. A die clash is coin collecting 101.These guys trade valuable coins they are novices at determining value or assessing mint errors.

After having dealt with a variety of Coin and Collectible Dealers over the years, I was skeptical about Oakton Coins and Collectibles. My experience there was excellent. Everything was upfront and was explained as we went through the coins I had brought in for evaluation. I was offered a fair price and sold them. I will deal with them again.

I had a gold pocket watch, which was over 50 years old, and I really wanted to check its value / sell it, Oakton Coins took the time to research the watch & we ended up negotiating a fair price. I am very satisfied how the deal went. Much friendlier than that place in Morton Grove.

I have sold gold and silver to them 2 times. They are very respectful, honest and more than fair. I have referred co-workers to Oakton Coins & Collectibles. Recently I went with one co-worker during our lunch break and they gave her an extra $20 to pay for our lunch as a thank you for my referral!

I found my moms jewelry box filled with mostly gold jewelry from 20 years ago. I had not use for it, so I decided to sell it. After doing some online research, I ended up at Oakton Coins.
