Houston Numismatic Exchange is a great place if you are looking for rare coins, Rolex’s and some fine jewelry. I found some beautiful second hand watches that I wasn’t expecting to find and at a reasonable price. They carried a good selection of Cartiers, Rolex’s and Panerai’s. The watches were in great condition and I was able to pick one up. I also found a Lady Fortuna gold bar which I asked Jay to make it into a gorgeous pendant. Will go back to them for future watch and coin purchase.Top notch owner and sales people who were professional and knowledgeable. Jay was great to work with on my purchases.

For over 30 years I have been coming to this place. When I was a kid I was particularly interested in the sports cards department of the store. Jay took me under his wing and helped me learn about cards and was always super kind to me. His is extremely knowledgeable about the hobby. One of the things you can count on with every aspect of the store is they are concerned with building long term relationships, not making one time transactions. Everyone in every department from numismatics to precious metals and jewelry to sports cards is very knowledgeable and helpful. You can always count on them to treat you right!

Jay and his team at Houston Numismatic Exchange were highly recommended when I questioned buying/selling precious metals in the area. Nonetheless, I still called-in or dropped-in at several exchange shops in the Houston metro regarding the purchasing price of a valuable I wanted to sell. In short, Jay offered the best rate.The shop itself felt secure, clean, and had plenty to offer novice and senior numismatists. The team behind the counter provided an education on items and when I asked for support on another piece I had in possession Jay provided insight regarding repair and appraisal.Looking forward to meeting with Jay and his team once again in the near future.

This is a great store tuck away in Rice Village. I bought and sell all my stuffs here, always find great deals. The owner Jay and his staffs are very knowledgeable about what they have to offer. They are also friendly and attentive, I can stay there for hours when they are not busy. This is how they earn my business for so many years and many years to come. So check them out.

Houston Numismatic is the best place of its kind. If you are looking to buy or sell coins this is the place to go. They also deal with pre-owned watches and fine jewelry and buy from the public. They are extremely honest, fair, and sincere and are experts in the trade. My family and I have been dealing with them for years and would not go anywhere else for our gold coins!

I have known Jay for over 20 years. Jay has always been an honest business man. He strives to give an excellent product with a very reasonable price. I always tell Jay that he is the only one in Houston that I will sell or buy from as I know he will treat me with the utmost care.Thank you,Christine

Ive been to them twice. My experience both times were good and then very good for the 2nd visit. They took time to explain things to educate me as a buyer. The only issue I had was parking in West University, so go early. I would prefer to give them a 4.5 due to the parking but site doesnt allow it. And I would shop there again.

Review №46

This place has got to be a Houston landmark these guys have been here since before I was born. If you want to know anything about rare coins jewelry baseball cards or anything of the sort this is the best place to have somebody look at your stuff say from your grandfather or your great-grandmother and figure out if its worth anything they always tell you like it is and shoot you straight and then youll actually learn something and probably have a good time while youre there

Review №47

CROOKS WITH EXCUSES TO OVER CHARGE YOU AND OFFER YOU LESS FOR YOUR SILVER..... SILVER IS SILVER DONT ACCEPT THEIR BOTTOM LINE THAT SHORT CHANGES YOU. DONT BE AFRAID TO PICK UP YOUR SILVER AND WALK OUT. NEVER GO BACK. THERES NO PARKING SPACE AVAILABLE AND MANAGEMENT EXPECTS YOU TO TAKE THE LOW BALL QUOTE THEY OFFER.TURN AROUND AND GET OUT OF THERE. FIND ANOTHER DEALER THAT APPRECIATES YOUR BUSINESS. THIS BUSINESS DIDNT AND LOST MY BUSINESS.DONT EXPECT THIS BUSINESS TO DO YOU ANY FAVORS.STAY AWAY...... I AM

This is the best place in Houston to sell gold and silver. Fair price provided for my Mothers silverware by extremely knowledgeable staff. They know everything about gold and silver so just ask. I learned a lot about silver quality and history. Ill definitely be back with more to sell.

Review №50

This is the ONLY place in Houston to buy and sell precious metals, PERIOD. Goldwise in Spring tried to offer me $950 for $1250 worth of junk silver after not even truly counting any of it. I dont think so. Dont ever sell your precious metals or jewelry to a pawn shop either. You will NEVER get a fair price. Those types of places prey on peoples urgency for cash and lowball everyone. Houston Numismatic Exchange treats your precious metal like exactly what it is, CURRENCY. Cash for cash minus a convenience fee. And IT IS cash, not a check.

I have been dealing with Houston Numismatic Exchange for over 30 years and I am extremely pleased to say that how fortunate we are to have such an outstanding establishment in our city. Jay and his knowledgable crew are so pleasant to deal with professionalism and fair transactions. They offer the high end merchandises at an astonishing price that can not be matched by anyone. If you looking for Numismatic or just the bullion coins rest assure that you are getting the best and honest deal in town. I highly recommend Houston Numismatic Exchange to my friends, relatives, and colleagues without any reservation.

Sometimes we hear things we dont want to hear about what we have to sell. However, sometimes we need to hear what we dont want to hear about the items we have for sell. We may not understand it at the time, but it makes us better investors. Im referring to my own experience here. That being said, I like shopping at this store when Im in the area.

Review №55

I have done business with Houston Numismatic Exchange for years, both buying and selling with great service. Not only are they widely recognized as a dependable dealer, but they are also very knowledgeable concerning their products and are consistent and fair in purchasing from those that visit.When you walk in, you can see a vast selection of recovered antiquity and treasure coins, as well as, precious metals in just about every form. For collectors, you will find silver and gold offerings from most countries along with precious metals in bars and coins from current and past refiners.Also, purchase documentation from Houston Numismatic Exchange communicates confidence in your holdings when selling to others that may be skeptical of less reputable dealers or other areas in which you acquired what you wish to sell.

Been dealing with these guys for many years now without any issues. The only issue out there is parking, and they have nothing to do with that. Over the last 20 years, I have purchased three Rolex watches and all of the silver coins for my grandchildren. They are warm and friendly and have helped me design a great portfolio of coins for my grandchildrens future. Couldnt ask for better folks.

I have bought several items from this business. I have found them honest and easy to work with. Trust to be in business in West U for as long as they have they have integrity. I have yet to buy anything that did not appraise at a price that was equal or much better as far a jewelry. I call it my little secret. My prize ring.... Shhh... was a huge hit.The diamonds are amazing. So was my Moms and my Cousins and severals friends... I am addicted. I can not say enough. If you give less than a 5 eh? learn your diamonds. Do your homework, then respect these guys like I do!P.S. Check out the Watches..... oh the watches!!!!

They did not look at my coins said they dont do appraisals but clearly the outside on their sign on the awning appraisals I really think I felt like I was being discriminated against because I was not their type that normally would walk in there Im more Counter Culture looking then stuffy old white man I would recommend not to go there if youre not an average old white man but thought I would say the cop that answered the door was quite nice thank you Houston Police Department

Review №63

I know that its important for small businesses to make money, but my first experience there was a big turn off. I have just started going through an old collection left to me by my dad, however Im not new to coin collecting. I was at a nearby restaurant, and saw this place when walking around. When I went in, I was greeted promptly. I mentioned that I was just starting to go through my dads collection, and he jumped in and said I had to buy a book he had. I really didnt get to tell him anything else. I knew all about the things he was showing me in the book, and frankly most of that info is online. When I said I wasnt interested in the book he turned away and blew me off.Perhaps he was busy, I dont know, but the strong arm sales approach was not appreciated.

Review №65

Coin and collectable store that has kept good inventory and selection.Good place to buy and sell precious metals in Houston.No sales tax above $1000, does not check ID under $5000 or special tax forms under $10000.But they DO charge different premiums for different people.So If you look like they can pull one over you, call ahead or send somebody who is known to the store instead of going in alone.I repeat they DO charge different premiums for different people but will tell you its the the same for all and has always been that premium rate strait to your face.

Review №67

For all of your numismatic needs, you must first go visit Jay Johnson and staff at the Houston Numismatic Exchange. It is one of Houstons oldest exchange companies and is family owned in Rice Village. They are the industry leader in Houston and will give you fair and honest quote for everything that you need to buy and sell. Our family has preferred them for decades and they always treat us like a part of their family. No matter what they will always strive to get you the best deal. We bought and sold recently with them and they STILL continued to go above and beyond our expectations. Dont go anywhere else.

WOW, talk about poor service. Walked in to this place and received a Yes Sir from one of the employees (the bald guy) behind the counter. After asking my question he was having none of it. His time was too important to focus on the customer. I felt like I was on a clock and ended up just cutting it short and walking out. Somone needs to go to a Dale Carnegie course...

I worked with Jim on the evaluation of my Fathers coin collection evaluation. HNE was the third estimate I got and they were the highest on about half of the collection.

I have purchased gold coins from them a long time ago. Today I sold the gold coins back to them. I had very pleasant experience both times. They offer me the best price. Jay Johnson is very friendly and professional. He gave me cash on the spot. I should have gone to them the first place. But believe me I have had bad experience dealing with some shaky place on Westheimer (Montrose area) and I am glad I walk out on them. This place was very busy and full of customers when I was there and that should tell you something. I highly recommend Houston Numismatic Exchange for either buy or sell coins.

Review №86

First time Ive even been today. The guy said my coin wasnt collectable. Certified in a PCGS holder, and they are selling for way over spot on Ebay. Ive had good offers on Ebay, just thought I would check these guys to avoid the online fees. they wanted to pay spot value. Its fine if you want to beat people down, but dont say things arent collectors items if they are. Very uninformed. The cop at the entry was pleasant, the other guy, maybe the bald guy was rude and seemed bothered by me, even before I showed him my coins. The gold coins were recovered under rubble at WTC after the Sept 11, 2001 terror attacks.

Review №89

DO NOT attempt to do business with these thieves! That is unless you are absolutely trying to give money away. I just left from this establishment trying to sell two 1 ounce gold coins: 2012 American Buffalo (First Strike) MS70 PCGS value: $2350 and a 2013 Gold Eagle (First Strike) MS70 PCGS value: $2000. They offered me LESS than spot for regular bullion. When I declined the offer they asked me what I was hoping for. When I replied that I was looking for something close to the coins numismatic value, they sarcastically smiled and nodded their heads as if I was some sort of uneducated moron. If youre just looking to sell your valuable coins and dont mind getting robbed in the process, youll probably be better off selling them at your local pawn shop. Im only giving this place one star because zero stars is not an option. By the way, the positive reviews on this message board were written by friends and family members of the owners of this establishment.
