First time coming through his door I was met with a pleasant greeting, had no idea what I was getting myself into with the silver stacking but then he directed me into the best value for my budget and gave me an excellent price without the need of a bargain pressure. Went inside clueless then left with a great experience and a few pieces of knowledge. FRED is the guy to go to when it comes to coin stacking!!! Best prices around town!!!
Thanks Kevin

Long overdue review. I reached out to KC's at the end of last year in regards my father's coin collection. My father had recently passed and I was having a hard time letting go of the collection. He was empathetic to my concerns and made the process much less stressful than I anticipated. Not only did I receive premium for the coins I brought, but he was informative and made me feel like I was part of the process. I'm looking forward to working with them again. 🙂
Thanks so much Caroline. Looking forward to seeing you again :)

I went to KC’s based on reviews I found on this website. Reviews are not always true but in this case they proved to be very true. I received a fair, honest price for the gold and jewelry I was selling. I would highly recommend going to this place if you want to get the best price you could possibly get for anything you’re selling.
Thanks Chuck
