Coin Dealers in the Dallas/Ft Worth Area

USAROK

I'll be in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area for a several days next month and would like to visit a few coin stores while I'm there. I'd appreciate any recommendations you may have.

Thanks,

the one in Arlington is called Arlington coins - shoot me a PM and I'll give address and directions - I'm usually in there once or twice a month looking at buffs and foreign stuff. reasonable selection, reasonable prices.

Thanks to all who have responded. Your recommendations are appreciated!

Arlington Coins is a terrific place to shop. Mike Grant is the proprietor there. He's also opened a second shop in Haltom City just off Belknap.

Ron Swinney also has a little shop on the west side of Fort Worth that I can recommend. It is called Swinney's Coins. He carries nice collector coins at good prices there, too.

I have also done business with Fort Worth Coin Company on 7th Street. They specialize in bullion, but they have some coins, too.

The best coin shop in the Dallas area IMHO is Arlington Coins. Mike has done a great job with it.

Heritage really doesn't have a retail presence.

CoinResource

Agreed. Arlington Coins is a great shop.

Do not try heritage. They will not let you in.
I made that mistake before, and the guy at the front was quite rude about it.

I would not recommend the Lone Star Mint in Plano. IMO they have a very limited selection of certified coins, and in my experience have been far less than friendly. I wish I could recommend an alternative, but I have yet to find a coin shop in the Dallas area I would give my business. I do all my shopping on the internet for that reason.

Edited to add: I have never been to Alamo or the shop in Ft. Worth (too far from me) so my comments should not reflect on those shops since I have no experience with them. I wasn't even aware of Alamo.

Mike Follett has a store in Dallas. Also, Ed Hipps has an office there, as well, but you would need to make an appointment to see him.
