Dealers in Anaheim, CA

I'll be in Anaheim, CA for business from tomorrow through Saturday. Does anyone know of a good dealer in the area? Due to limited free time, it would be tough to venture out to LA. I'll be able to check online tomorrow as well, so if you've got some advice I can still receive it through Thursday. Thanks!
Tom

  • The Anaheim coin show is this weekend at the Embassy Suites. I think its only Sunday though.

    Tom,

    I don't know about any coin shows in the area, but if you go west about a mile to Nutwood Ave right across the street from Cal State Fullerton, there's a Texas Lucy's that makes great burgers with whole anahiem chili's, and at lunch, there's a lingerie show! Have a nice trip. image


    BTW - my PM doesn't work from home, but it's not me. I did write commercial software for 7 years, but got out of the business a long time ago.

  • Hi Tom, I live nearby and can give you a couple of spots to stop at. There are not any shops that I visit in Anaheim, but a few minutes away are:

    Fullerton Coins on Raymond St. off the 91 freeway Bill Pannier is the owner

    Main St. Coins in Yorba Linda downtown YL at Imperial Hwy and Main St. Ed Quigley is the owner.

    Joel Rettew Jr. has a shop on Tustin Ave. in Orange right off the 55 Freeway at Chapman Ave.

    Pachin's Coins is right up the street on Tustin Ave. from Rettew's shop. Bob Pachin is the owner.

    Those shops are all within 20 minutes of Anaheim.

    A little further away would be:
    Irvine Gold Mine off the 5 Freeway at Culver Ave. in Irvine, CA.

    Gold N'Coins on Whittier Blvd. in LaHabra (from Anaheim it is up Beach Blvd. north) 35 mins. away

    Now finally, if you have time, the best shop to visit would be Liberty Coin in Signal Hill, near Long Beach.
    Off the 405 Freeway at Cherry. It is worth the drive, see Jim Foster if you go there.

    Hope that helps.

  • Tom, I can vouch for Gold n Coins also! This is your one stop shop.

    Don - Oh well, worth a shot. Coding for 7 years - yikes! I'm in Marketing. The last thing I coded was in Fortran.

    Toning in the Blood - Thanks for all the leads. I'll send you a PM.

    If you're going to be in Orange, I'd recommend Bob Patchin's Rare Coin Gallery over Joel Rettew Jr's shop any day. They're only a block or two apart in location but worlds away in grading accuracy.
