Testimonials from Our Satisfied Customers in Alameda, CA

“There's a reason he gets a 5-star rating. You definitely feel he's not there to rip you off. I definitely had a good experience. I brought in some silver bars and he said best to go to another place on the east side of Alameda. I'll probably get a little higher price since he has a huge stack of them and other place has less. He was right, higher by $24.

I appreciate his honesty.

I had some jewelry appraised also and he gave the best offer out of three places i went to. Wish there were more folks like him.”

“It is so great to deal with a very honest dealer. If you need to sell or have a collection appraised I would whole hearty recommend Larry”

- Carol M.

“Larry is as honest as they come. Explains everything and actually says " please get a second opinion before doing the exchange". I did and The Silver Baron is the place to go.”

“Larry was recommended to me through a friend. My mother and I needed to liquidate a decades old coin collection as part of her downsizing. We couldn't have been more pleased. He was very efficient and honest. He explained why some things were valuable and some weren't. He made it very stress free which is what we really needed. We were dealt with fairly and professionally. I highly recommend him.”

“I love this place!! I go here all the time to sell little treasures we find through my husband's business. The owner and other people who work there have always been honest and super nice. I highly recommend this place to everyone.”

- Maria L.

“Great place! My husband took some of his father's old coins in here to sell as we are trying to liquidate his estate. The gentleman who helped us, Larry, was honest and fair and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend as these guys know their stuff.”

“The Silver Baron is the only place you should trust when buying or selling coins or bullion. I went there to ask their advice about purchasing some physical gold and silver to put away. They took great pains to explain that seemingly identical .999 1 oz gold pieces were not all the same value - Krugerrands have a different value than Maple Leafs, or Gold Eagles. They told me to shop other dealers and buy from them if their price was better. I did, and The Silver Baron was the lowest!”

“I went into the Silver Baron with a little reservation, and came out relieved to know that there is still honest people out there in the collectibles business. Larry was absolutely awesome. I wanted to have a Pre-Civil War British Fifteen Shilling note appraised and was told Larry could take a look at the item free of charge. He was occupied appraising a large coin collection when I got there. Thinking I would have to wait, I prepared to jump on my phone to kill some time.

However, to my delight, he asked me to write down all the specifics of the currency and said he would do some research over the weekend and get back to me early next week. He also gave me a nice plastic protector to keep it in (I was keeping it inside of a hard cover book!!) for free (nice!!!).

Larry gave me some great advice and before I left, and also gave me some information on an upcoming coin/currency convention in San Jose. Overall, I have to say my trip to The Silver Baron was a pleasant experience and I will surely do business with them again.”

“Larry is a great guy. He gives you honest appraisals and good advice. He is knowledgeable about coins and sports memorabilia. He takes the time to discuss both in a relaxed barbershop type setting. He buys and sells items for fair prices and doesn't rip you off with a pawn shop mentality.”

“An Honest Coin Dealer. Have dealt with him many times over the years. He's a straight up guy & charges a smaller Mark Up than other Coin Shops. I have called & asked if he has such & such. Sometimes he'll say "No" & then refer me to other dealers. I don't believe the other dealers send any business his way. So I'll have to tell him "NO, I want to do business with YOU. And have him get/order what I want or just buy what he has in stock. Yes the place is a little "Hole in the wall" that we've all walked passed a few hundred times. But if you are buying/selling coins you'll come out ahead at The Silver Baron. And he won't look down his nose at you like the other Alameda Coin Shop.”
