Id give this place 10 stars if I could! My mom and I came into the store today (Monday June 12th) to exchange some antique money that we received from my great grandfather a few years back. We got there around 1:30 and we didnt end up leaving until about 4:00. We had a lot of money to go through and it was just the one guy, Henry Wilson, working....AND he was having neck trouble. He had sorted out 100s of wheat pennies my mom had brought in and when he went to put them in the electronic counter, it jammed up! The poor guy had to count them all by hand. He just laughed about it and went about counting. Anytime he had to count multiple bills/coins, he always did it right in front of us, so we knew he wasnt skipping over a single piece. He also kept track of every single type of currency we gave to him, by writing the currency year, amount and quantity. Then he would write the current monetary value for said currency right next to the other details. He was very knowledgeable about every single coin/bill that we gave to him for exchange. If he wasnt sure about a piece, hed pull out books and read through until he found a fair price. He even showed me that he was offering me more for a bill i was exchanging, than the book suggested, because he knew the book price was a little lower. I know he didnt try to cheat us out of money for the currency we brought in. If anything we had was damaged or not worth as much, he would show us or explain to us why it was worth less money. For example, one of my bills monetary value was $1.25, but he told me it wouldnt be worth anything because a previous owner/handler had written on it. I didnt get to exchange all of the antique money that I brought in, because I didnt want to hold him up until after closing, but I know that when I do, I will be going back to this place HANDS DOWN. I know I am getting a very fair deal and the man we dealt with today was definitely the kind of expert that you need in a shop like that. So whether youre out of town, out of state, out of country or have lived in the area your whole life, stop by this place for any of your currency questions or exchanges, or just stop in to check out the thousands of coins they have on display. Theyve also got civil war artifacts, foreign currency, jewelry and lots more! UPDATE: After having exchanged my coins and being paid for them, I received a letter in the mail, stating that they actually owed me more money and to come back in. Upon my return, I came to find that the one sale paper had been misplaces that day I was in and it was found after I had left. They gave me a copy of the missing ticket and wrote me out a check for the money I should have gotten. If it wouldnt have been for them contacting me, I honestly would not have even realized they owed me more. They could have easily kept that extra amount and not have even told me. I more than appreciate their honesty and the fact that they know they have a responsibility to their customers and truly uphold those standards. Now I wish I could give them a 20 star rating haha!

This place was awful and by that I mean the man running the shop. He was so RUDE and pompous. I spent over $65 in there and then he charged me extra for using a debit card and told me he would charge me more if I used my credit card. Horrible service, rude, rip off and the guy was complete jerk to Paying customer. I should of never purchased what I bought and dropped it on the counter and told him forget it cause of what a rude pompous prick he was. I will never ever give them any of my buisness again or refer anyone unless you want to be treated bad by some arrogant shop owner. Disgusting service!!!!

I would rate this place 10 stars if I could! I have been to many coin shops, and this is the best one in PA! They have a large selection of old coins and bills. I got a MS steel penny in the $0.10 bin. They have excellent service and are really nice and helpful. I plan to come in once a month now!

This store is great and the ONLY store Ill ever buy from. They have the friendliest staff who arent afraid to negotiate sometimes. Their prices are low compared to other people and they have the largest selection of stuff Ive ever seen. Everything youll ever need is there.
