I have been an avid coin collector for years. I travel for work and I hunt coins in every town and city I pass through. I dont look the part. Im a 30 something construction worker. The hours that coin dealers are open are the same hours I work so I come in filthy in my old work clothes. I say this so that you will understand that I have serious experience in dealing with coin shops and that if anyone could have been treated poorly based looks it would have been me. As I have stated I have been in shops all around the country. So let me be plain.This is a First Class coin dealer. The ladies in this shop are absolute pros at what they do. They are honest beyond that which i have experienced in my all my travels and they did not judge based on ones looks. Here is why I say this. I recently walked in to there store after a day of climbing around in a chimney. I was disgustingly dirty. I asked to look at some of their coins and they pleasantly brought out whatever I asked to see. They sat with me for 2 hours while I picked through there coins one by one.(proving they do not judged based on outward appearance). I ended up leaving with some really nice stuff that I bought at an exceptional deal because of their professionalism and honesty. You see these coins had been cleaned at some point during their life. The cleaning was ever so slight and likely done by a professional because it was not noticeable to the naked eye. Only an expert would have caught this cleaning. Not only did the ladies in the shop catch it(proving their professionalism) they did not attempt to sell them to me as if they were not(proving their honesty). These ladies are the real deal. They have my business for a lifetime.

dealt with these guys years ago had a decent experience. went in recently though after reading an AD in SUndays paper about how they are paying like 28$oz for silver. they said imagine what we pay for gold. well why should we have to imagine if they prices for gold are so great why dont you advertise that too? sure they may pay good for silver but thats a ploy to get you in there since those who have silver usually have gold... do you see what I mean? shop around there are a lot of new gold buyers in the area since gold 1000$oz a year or so ago!

Before I started doing business with Louisiana Gold & Coins, I read some negative reviews. I just dont understand how that could be so. Perhaps some people are just unhappy in general with themselves, or maybe the reviews came from the competition. I do business with them frequently, and I just love these people! They treat me great, and inform me when they get something that they know that Im looking for. What else can I say? I send my friends there, and they feel the same way. I highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

I wrote a review earlier and now its gone! I cant believe all the bad reviews here because I have been selling and buying from this store for years and they have always been so honest and fair. In fact, my whole family goes there. Ive been burned before by dishonest coin dealers so I know when Im dealing with someone reputable and they are reputable. All of those new stores popping up are newbies who dont know what theyre doing, theyre just trying to take advantage of high gold prices! I want experience.

Went in to pick up a coin holder ($1.50) but had over $2,000 in cash and was prepared to drop most if not all of it on some gold coins. But when I got to the counter and began looking at the coins, the rude lady began clicking her pen rapidly, as if to imply "hurry up and checkout". I paid for coin holder and left, having not looked over the coins for more than 20 seconds. These people are a disgrace and whoever owns that shop deserves whatever bad fate falls upon his business.

These people are amazing--the most honest dealers Ive ever seen! I sold some coins to them and they called me up to let me know that the coins were worth more than they had initially realized--they had a check waiting for me. I was astounded because my father, who was a banker and a coin collector, taught me to be very, very cautious about coin dealers. These folks could easily have just kept the additional money but they did not. What a great place!

DO NOT GO HERE!!! The lady at this shop inadvertently accused me of being a thief. I came in with some old gold bracelets and rings from my deceased aunts house and the rude lady implied that I didnt own them. Then she proceeded to offer me 10 percent of the value of my old coins, while the same coins were for sale( for $50 a piece) in lesser condition right next to us. Rude and Shady. Go anywhere else.

Very rude, these people just assume that you are a nobody before you even enter the store. They take no time to really deal with you. I took my coin collection there and before the lady even looked at them she had already made a statement that they were not worth anything. ?? Then the same 1909 penny that I have is selling on their site for over $900??? Very bad customer service.

The people who work at this store are not customer oreiented. They act like they are doing you a favor just to wait on you. They are very expensive but pay less than other similar stores for coins and silver. I was very dissatisfied with their service, selection, and prices.

This place wanted to charge me $5.00 over the spot price for silver eagles, when I could have bought it online for only $2.50 over the spot price. Do your research and shop around before getting ripped off by these folks...

Im very surprised by these negative reviews because this store has given me the lowest prices (and I have shopped around.) The girl that helped me was very polite and knowledgable.... I will definitely be going back there!
