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.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE WORST PLACE TO GO!!! AND AS A PERSON WHO HAS MANY FRIENDS WHO HAVE BUSINESSES OFTEN ASK FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO WRITR REVIEWS FOR THEM. SO TECHNICALLY THEY ARE FAKE REVIEWS BUT WHO DOESNT HELP OUT A FRIEND. I ONLY SCROLLED A FEW DOWN AND I PRETTY POSITIVE THESE REVIEWS ARE NOT WRITTEN BY CUSTOMERS. I WAS IN A BIND AND UNFORTUNATELY NEEDED CASH AND BECAUSE I WASNT FULLY KNOWLEDGEABLE AT THE TIME THEY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF BE. HIGHWAY ROBBERY. PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE. I KNOW OTHER PLACES THAT WILL PAY YOU CORRECTLY AND ACCORDINGLY. IF I HAD THE TIME I WOULD OF GONE TO EBAY. I WILL BE DOING SOME DIGGING ON MORE REVIEWS FROM.OTHER SITES AND STORES. CASH AMERICA IS A WAY BETTER PLACE BUT OF COURSE IT NOT A COIN SHOP SO IT IF YOU IT CAN BE TOUCH AND GO. SMALL OWED COIN BUSINESSES IS WHERE YOU CAN GET THE BEST HONEST PRICE FOR YOUR COIN/BULLION COLLECTIONTHAT BELLEVUE RARE COINS FAILS MISERABLE AT. THEY APPRAISED A BLACK EAGLE BILL FOR 10 DOLLARS WELL THAT WHAT THEY OFFERED ME. $164 AFTER A EBAY POST. DECLINED FOUND A PRIVATE BUYER IN MY COMMUNITY FB GROUP SOLD $500. 15 YEARS OLD I FOUND MY FIRST LIBERTY DIME. 23 YEARS. ITS MY FAULT I SHOULD OF LEARNED MORE. SHAME ON THEM AND SHAME ON ME NEEDING THEM LAST MINUTE.

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.

This place does not appear to value and want to retain a long-term relationship with their customers. I purchased a pair of diamond earrings, only one is GIA. I was told prior to purchasing it, it was the pair by the salesperson. I got the GIA paper a couple days later due to the lead in the store could not find it at the time of purchase. I was really disappointed. When I returned it, they wanted me to give them 25% restocking fee for only having the earrings for 9 days. Their policy is 10 days for any jewelry returns if not satisfied with a restock fee. Their web site did not mention a 25%. I have shopped here several times before, always buying high end pieces.

I will tell you never ever go here these people are horrible and rip u off I have never been more disturbed by such a compony that claims they are good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They absolutely are a fancy pawnshop that acts as if they know what they are doing Lost multiple dollars here embarrassing amount of money by them more then once! I will never recommend anyone here ever ever again. Completely not at all anything they advertised The ae truly False advertisement period It’s disgusting As for dating my experience its more then 1 date it be this whole time since 2023 to 2024

You lie about price and under value when you are buying. They are not honest. Been there twice and will never go again. One star is too high of a rating.

Forgot her name but I went in for a 15 min free “appraisal” the employee barely acknowledged the coins that I have. She did not value them for the quality/history/errors. She did not seem very knowledgeable on coins. Just on the gold/silver/platinum pricing. I would not recommend taking a collection or estate to them. I’m glad I took the free appraisal promotion instead. Gives a good idea that they just want to buy instead of thoroughly help a collector.

I booked an appointment to sell comic books. I actually took the time to make an APPOINTMENT, I didn't just drop in. They knew I was coming by. When I arrived, however, I was told that they were busy and they would have an offer for me in a week! Why did I even bother making appointment??? There's no chance I'm selling them my comics now. Note to Bellevue Rare Coins: maybe communicate these kinds of things in advance to potential customers. I wasted a lot of time today. Not happy!
