Do NOT trust the staff and their professional lying skills! They will tell you your gems aren't worth anything because of the manufactured gems nowadays and not being able to tell the difference, hence your gems not worth much... LIES!!! I was in there selling items (which I had done several times, unfortunately) I walked in as an older man, obviously desperate for cash, like many of us that go in there to sell our family heirlooms. I literally heard one of the staff say, "oh yeah" very happily and celebratory, another staff said, "did you score diamonds?" The guy said " oh yeah, big ones" they laughed and then realized I was in there. I wasn't going there because I had jewelry laying around, I went out of desperation due to job loss. It was my fourth time going in, up to that point I had made the mistake of trusting these sheisters, the way they manipulate your trust is disgusting. I decided to sell one item because I needed gas... I found another place called Seattle Gold, they aren't sheisters, they are at least honest about what they are doing. I took gold there, received almost double what Bellevue coins gave me, and for the jewelry they weren't going to resell, they took the gems out and gave them back to me so I could sell just the gold, most places want the gold to melt. I left this place in shock knowing what Bellevue coins had done, but it was too late to do anything about it. I had spent the money they gave me, so I couldn't even try to purchase it back even if I wanted, which I doubt they would allow anyway. I travelled to Pittsburgh to visit family, a friend of a family member has become a jeweler, I shared the story with them; they couldn't believe what I was telling them, and how much I was paid. Anyway, STAY AWAY FROM BELLEVUE COIN! I am sad I ever went there, I sold items for half of what I should have received. Do your due diligence before you sell your jewelry, call around to different places see what they offer, and how they go about purchasing your precious gold.
Arrived 5 minutes early for 12:45 appointment. Waited 25 minutes before being assisted. Why take appointments when an appointment doesn’t matter? Might as well assign a number upon arrival like you’re at the deli. The staff person was pleasant and helpful.

Warning: Be cautious when dealing with Bellevue Rare Coins, especially the Lynnwood, WA location. Do not blindly trust them, particularly a middle-aged woman with glasses.I went to this place to buy a new coin. She asked me for the coin type and payment method, then informed me they only had 1992 coins. I said that was fine. She then set the coin aside and demanded my signature and payment, despite my repeated requests to see the coin first. She insisted, "Once you sign and pay, then you can see it."Reluctantly, I signed and paid. She handed me the receipt and the coin. When I inspected the coin through the cover, I noticed scratches. I asked her to open it for me, pointing out the scratches. She coldly replied, "It's your coin, do whatever you want with it." When I opened it, the coin indeed had scratches. I requested a different coin, but she refused, saying, "You touched it, so we will not do anything for you."I was shocked by how she manipulated the situation, using these tricks on customers. This is from a company that boasts 'Trust' and 'Best Customer Experience' on their website. I hope the trick she played on me wasn't because of my race. I trust the company hasn't trained them to act that way.Now I'm thinking about how horrible the selling experience must be here. I'm definitely not coming back here.

I brought coins in and the Lady was very nice but did not examine the coins closely. I had a Dollar coin with Eisenhower 1776-1976 on front and the bells on the back. Looking up coin prices they range from $50.00 to $1500. I was given a dollar ,? Now it bugs me if she was honest as advertised.
