REVIEW #1 – Excellent customer service, great buyback prices on both silver & gold bars and very knowledgable re: trade, ratio’s, and market. I didn’t feel rushed or pressured to sell or trade. I , being a newbie to metals, had a lot of questions and they spent a lot of time going over the in’s and out’s of the metals market with me and I greatly appreciated that as well as thier integrity and honesty in buyback/sales. – claudia cody
REVIEW #2 – I had a great experience at Rick’s. They’re transparent and straightforward in how they price and professional in their operation. I’ll do business with them again when I am buying or selling. – Jonathan Lightner
REVIEW #3 – I stopped in here because I went on reddit to see who pays the most for gold. I had several rings and knowing what the price is valued at currently and knowing that they are a business and have to make a profit. I showed Tom what I had and showed him the ring I wanted to get off of etsy and he said that the ring I was looking at was fairly priced. I walked out with a check for the rings, more knowledge about rings, and a place i feel comfortable going in the future. Respectfully I enjoy the atmosphere. small and humble. – Taylor Franklin
REVIEW #4 – Great owners fair prices i bring all my silver/gold here won’t find better prices – Benjamin W
REVIEW #5 – Rick and his staff tend to my buying and selling needs quickly and professionally. I feel I receive great service every time I visit store. Even if I’m not buying or selling I enjoy the conversation and browsing the unique and eclectic items. – Chris Bennett
REVIEW #6 – You gotta take time to check this place out. You can always sell your gold teeth, or you grandpas watch for some extra cash. But just stop in to take a tour and buy a guitar or a beer light or a slot machine. They have a lot of stuff. – TRAVELS withDavid

REVIEW #1 – Patrick, Ken and Ash are fantastic. They were very helpful in taking some of my mother’s late jewelry and metals off my hands for fair pricing. The best place to sell your silver and gold bars too – Mysti Snyder
REVIEW #2 – I really enjoy acquiring (and selling) through this establishment. The staff is amicable, knowledgeable, and get right to the facts. They take their roles seriously. I’ve also had extraordinarily positive experiences with the store owner Jim. I would highly recommend establishing a relationship with Jim and the staff at this store. Collecting, buying, and selling through this local coin shop is a blessing. – mcsmith76
REVIEW #3 – We came in with very little knowledge of the resale value for the things we had. Ken was super helpful and gave us very fair offers for everything we had, he was very transparent and knowledgeable. We walked out with a check in hand in almost no time and a very pleasant experience – Federico Astrada
REVIEW #4 – Beyond impressed with the level of comfort, fairness, knowledge, time spent with me, and overall customer experience! I walked in not knowing what to expect and left feeling confident in my decisions. I would highly recommend Ken, and the company in general to anyone I know. Thank you Jim’s Coins & Precious Metals! – Jenny Totzke
REVIEW #5 – I called Jim’s to see what they had on hand and I ended up buying generic silver. They held onto it until I was able to make it to the store. The price they gave me was extremely close to spot price and the bar I bought happened to have a neat design. I didn’t have much time but if I did everyone there would of definitely welcomed me to taking a longer look and chat a bit. Super friendly and genuine. I will definitely stop up again to see what they have next time I am in the area. – Alex Levy
REVIEW #6 – I had a good personable and professional experience selling some gold coins at this place. They were patient and took time with me as we covered my collection, and I was offered very reasonable values for my collection. – Randel P
REVIEW #7 – Please shop local. They have excellent customer service. And when it comes to gold and silver you know what you know that it’s the only true money. Thank you guys for helping us out. – De Cuevas
REVIEW #8 – I went here today to sell silver coins. The guy was very knowledgeable and had the upmost respect!! Thank you for everything!! – Clifford Olson
REVIEW #9 – Thanks Jim, your shops service and prices always make me happy. I’ve been eyeing a certain note for the last year. I was in with my Mom, to buy silver dimes. Of course you had the best price and best service to meet my Mom’s needs. I figured I’d ask about the note that I’ve been pricing and looking at for about the last year and you had it. I bought a highly rated note for a price that I was only dreaming about. Thank you for the addition to my collection. I’ll be back! Me and Mom. – Alex B. Tukiendorf
REVIEW #10 – Ken and the team at Jim’s coins are fantastic!!! They did a wonderful review and assessment of the family coins we brought in for evaluation. Process was easy informative! Would highly recommend! – Lisa Fullenkamp
REVIEW #11 – Best place in town! These guys are always willing to spend time with me whenever I stop in, and they answer all my hundreds of questions to help me learn. Great conversations & helpful advice, along with great prices. Ken is an awesome guy to talk with if you stop in. – michael fahy
REVIEW #12 – 100% fantastic coin shop. I visit Jim’s every time I’m in the Madison area, and every visit has been great. Employees are friendly, very knowledgeable and honest. You won’t find better prices in Dane county. – A Google User
REVIEW #13 – Jim’s is a totally community gem. These guys totally know their stuff and are kind and patient with new collectors. Even though I knew nothing they made us feel comfortable and welcome. My 81yo mother said she wanted to marry the guy who helped us they were that nice!! They are our new “go to”. – Suzanne Swift
REVIEW #14 – Wonderful knowledgeable people. I’ve worked closely with Ken and Jim for a couple of years. They really support collectors and are active in our local coin club. They also work with serious investors and with rank amateurs. They are very fair when you bring in bulk silver items—coins and otherwise. They offer as much or more than any other buyers of gold and silver. No reason to go to anyone else. On a personal level, they helped me build my collection just the way I wanted it, taking on trade things I decided didn’t fit in my final collection. Thanks, Ken and Jim! – Mike Miller
REVIEW #15 – I’ve delt with most coin dealers in the Madison wi area and have found Jim’s Coins & precious Metals to be the best as far as fair prices for my gold coins and coin collections when I was ready to sell. All the employees I have delt with where knowledgeable, polite and took the time to grade my Coins fairly…I will be back soon. – Ralph Blanchette
REVIEW #16 – I had a great experience at the coin shop. Ken is a great worker, should definitely get a raise he was helping me when I was selling my coins and helping another customer buying points it’s like he had six hands like the goddess ganesha. What a great worker deserves a raise or get paid for doing twice the job so getting paid for two workers overall definitely a five-star rating if they had six stars I would give him that – Dus Bran
REVIEW #17 – Helpful, honest and friendly appraisals they really wanted me to get the most value for my collection. They were also willing to trade. I walked away with two beautiful ancient coins at a more than fair price – Heather Wilcox
REVIEW #18 – I can’t say enough good things about this place. I went there as somewhat of a novice and I didn’t realize that they prefer cash transactions. I only had a debit card and they waved the fee for me. What’s worse is that I actually don’t know the pin to my debit card because I always use it as a credit card, which actually results in a higher charge for them. They were actually kind enough to wave that fee as well. I won’t make that mistake again and will be sure to have cash the next time I go, everyone there is so kind, I would not go to a different coin shop. – Anthony Klauer
REVIEW #19 – JIMS COINS IS HIDDEN TREASURE! thank you for the amazing knowledge helping me through my time at the store. Staff were knowledgeable and helpful! Will be back highly recommend. – Emad Odeh
REVIEW #20 – Super helpful and nice staff didn’t catch the names of the guys but helped me and my boyfriend out, sold them a coin at a fair price. much better than anywhere else in area – brooklyn
REVIEW #21 – I was a customer at another lcs in Madison and they were bothered with my questions. This store has excellent customer service and I just called and Ken said best buy is maples rounds bars. I’m very impressed because other places didn’t give me this excellent advice. Definitely buy physical silver and gold. – Deandra Cuevas
REVIEW #22 – I am a Gold and Silver dealer, and although we pay higher than these guys (we are NOT in the same market) I found them to be fair, forthcoming, honest and upfront. I was checking on them for a friend of mine in Wisconsin, to make sure she was getting a “fair” deal on her Silver….which she did. These guys pay slightly higher than the national average and seem to be upfront and honest. We pay higher than them, but we are in Colorado and have a slightly more competitive market. Just based on my professional opinion I would say anyone in the Wisconsin market would be doing just fine to sell to these guys! Thank you! – Just Me
REVIEW #23 – The staff at Jim’s was very helpful sorting through an old coin collection. Very patient and took time to explain the different types and categories of coins. We received an offer to buy right away that was very transparent. Other shops we went to in town tried only offered to buy the whole collection (after belittling it) without looking at or counting out the coins. Would definitely recommend Jim’s! – Gwendolyn Judson
REVIEW #24 – Our interactions with Ken were very professional. He was knowledgeable about the coins and was fair in his valuations. He was a delight to work with and I will definitely return. – Michelle Assaly
REVIEW #25 – Great staff. I’ve bought junk silver and silver 1 oz rounds from these folks over the years. When I started buying silver they were very knowledgeable and explained many things and answered all my questions related to taxes and what’s the cheapest way to get silver etc. My kids and I have been in there a few times and the staff is super friendly. For example, we found jewelry on the street, tried to return it and were unable. We took it in here to see what it’s worth. It’s usually fake but the kids love the experience. I just bought a roll of 2025 pennies to hand out to my kids and the youth in my Cub Scout Pack and once the owner found out I was a cub leader he gave me a discount. I highly recommend this place. – Timothy szczykutowicz
REVIEW #26 – Ken was extremely helpful. My girlfriend went in looking for a gift for a family member’s upcoming ceremony. Ken was very helpful and seemed to really care about helping us. That means a lot. Coins make great gifts for history buffs. Thank you Ken for helping us get such a special gift. – Sam Leary
REVIEW #27 – I’ve only had one experience at Jim’s, but I felt that the process was straightforward, I was given a more than fair price, and everything was conducted in a no-nonsense but friendly manner than had me in and out in few minutes! Exactly what I was looking for, thanks Jim’s! – Ian Oestreich
