Best Portland, OR B&M Coin shops to visit?

clarkbar04clarkbar04 Posts: 4,982 ✭✭✭✭✭
I'm heading to Eugene, OR where I OF COURSE will visit Eugene Coin and Jewelry, which is a shop I enthusiastically visited while I lived there. As far as shops in Portland go, I've not been to any up there. I will be staying with my brother on the way, and if I have time I'd like to hit up some shops, and would love to hear some recommendations.

If it helps, I like digging through raw stuff, and I like walkers, buffs, mercs & lincs.

    Three I would check out would be Craig's Rare Coins in Beaverton, Westside Coins (Stuart) and Coin Cottage. There are 2-3 others that I enjoyed going to 6-8 years ago that are probably still there as well. But these 3 I know the owners and they are all good guys.

    These are 3 that I have visited on several occasions. If you're looking for raw coins to dig through, then I would suggest Columbia Coin Company as they would have the largest selection of raw numismatic type coins to look at. Next on the list would be Coins on the Boulevard, the dealer is incredibly friendly and his prices are reasonable and he likes to make deals. Most of the dealers in the Portland area deal in graded coins and 90% bullion type stuff. The few that have a selection of raw coins are mostly stuff that was brought in and pulled out of 90% lots bought from the public.

    If you would like to PM me, we can discuss specifics. I live in the Portland area and have a few favorites that I visit frequently.

    It doesn't have to be raw, I guess the biggest thing is a nice selection, and not just rare 19th century gold and/or bust coinage. (see my sign line image )

    Problem with something like that list is that not all of them are actual stores. So, they are listed, and likely are buyers when they can be, if people contact them, but they aren't set up for anyone to just come in and browse/buy.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
