🗑Company masquerading as a good 1

Garbage company masquerading as a good one. In reality they are a traveling pawn shop, pawn shops rip ppl off on over 70% of stuff. So, this was to be a Saturday, 02/01 Day feom 10 AM to 3 PM....not only did they ONLY HAVE 1 PERSON, which is unprofessional like none other...we waited for 7-8 hrs with a "you are free to leave at any time". So, stay away from this trash company and I'd recommend going to a good appraiser, if coin/s is 100% valuable, than selling it on eBay. It may not be as fast, but You WILL NOT get ripped off, exactly as it seems this company's main MO is💯🗑🚮Total garbage and never again💯

Hello,

I think you may have the wrong Company we are a Coin Dealer in Palatine, Schaumburg, Wheaton, Villa Park & Glen Ellyn. We are not a Traveling Pawn Shop. There are many fly-by-night traveling road shows that come to Chicago. My guess is you went to a different pawnshop or a travel show. We would appreciate you remove this unfair review for we do not even use trust pilot as a review source. I would like to understand why you picked PGS as the one review. Could you call us at 88-416-2701? Thank you, and please ask for the Regional Management.

Scott straight up is a really good guy

Scott straight up is a really good guy. He helped me pick out some coins today for my nephews and hooked me up with some really cool gifts to give to the kids. They’re going to love them. The radio show is very informative and I’ve learned a lot just by listening to him on there. I’m definitely coming back to buy more stuff!! Thanks again for all your help today one more thing knocked off the Christmas list.😊

Wheaton location gets an A+.

I have been going to the Wheaton location for several years now. Susan and all of the ladies are very knowledgeable, polite and trustworthy, I fully trust the staff and will continue going to the Wheaton location for all of my needs.

Great coin dealer in Palatine

Visited the Palatine location and the service was great! Sold a coin collection, sterling silver & some jewelry and got fair prices for all. I'll be recommending PGS to my friends for sure.

Terrible customer experience.....

Went into the store on Saturday 10/23/2021 this store is located in villa park, illinois on north ave. and this being the second time going there has to be the worst experience ever, was there nearly one hour and a half and go no help, and was put off by the woman working there to help another customer that just came in,,, not a good experience.... the woman told me she had 15 mins to help me while she helped another customer.... I left with no help at all with by box of coins..............
