Looking For The Best Gold Buyer in Phoenix?

I spoke with Mary, who was more than helpful. I haven't made a purchase yet, but she gave me some valuable information that I believe went above and beyond her duty. Kudos, Mary - I hope you see this!

Thank you, Mary for being patient and willing to explain how precious metals and diamonds are valued on the open market. Your broad knowledge and expertise in the areas of estate and gold jewelry made my visit most educational.

I had the opportunity to work with Mary @ Valley Gold Mine on a once in a lifetime coin find. While searching through a suitcase of raw, circulated Morgan Silver Dollars with one of her customers, one date caught her eye. Soon I received a text from Mary asking, “the 1893-S Morgan is a better date, right?” I replied, “uh yea, it’s the key date!” I let her know that this date/mintmark is commonly counterfeited or more often altered (fraudsters will add an “S” to an 1893 Philadelphia coin, which has no mintmark), so I needed to see the piece in person to verify it exhibited authentic diagnostics. Upon viewing the coin, I was shocked to learn that it was authentic. Mary and I determined that we would send this rarity into PCGS, a top 3rd Party Grading Service, to get it professionally graded and slabbed. The coin came back Very Fine 35 (VF35), giving it a retail value of about $5,000. This was such a cool find. Something that almost never happens. The rare coins are rare for a reason – you don’t find them everywhere. The moral of the story though is that Mary showed unquestionable integrity with her customer. Where many dealers would have attempted to rip the customer off (buying this key date as a common $25 coin), she notified the customer of the find immediately and then worked diligently to maximize the customer’s value. Strong ethics; an honest business person. Bob DeLean DeLean Numismatics
