Best Coin Stores in NJ?

Owen1793

I've been trying to find (and visit) more stores in NJ but have only managed to find two that I really like- Central Jersey Rare Coin & Eds Elegant Coins. Seems like most of my Google searches are just turning up low end "we buy gold & coins" kind of stores, that don't actually maintain an inventory.

Any NJ locals care to help and let me know of some good shops?

I don't know about Jersey but I googled coin shops south of boston 2 weeks ago. I got about 10 hits visited 6 of them and 5 of those had been gone for years . Google sucks big time these days , tons of dead links when it comes to stores , restaurants , etc.

Might be best to call them first before you spin your wheels.

Thats fine but theres no excuse for multi year old dead links to pop up. If a place closed a month ago it would be one thing.

Some of the links were so dead the store that replaced the coin store had also gone out of business

Your best bet is to drive up to the Parsippany show which is on the first Sunday of every month. It's a pretty big show. It's just a short distance from Rt.287 and Rt.80, just off Rt.46.

Speaking from personal experience it is all but impossible to eliminate all obsolete business listings once they have proliferated on the web - some listing services pick up names and addresses from other listings and it explodes from there.

I bought out my former partner Dave in 2012 and changed the business address at that time from CT to MA. I spent years trying to take ownership of and change every old listing I could find, but some of them just refuse to be updated, or the companies doing the listing either no longer exist or won't respond.

The older former co-manager of the Parsippany show has a shop west of Parsippany, stopped in there a few years ago. It sounded like they had a lot of old material in the safe and some nice material out front. A major varieties specialist stopped in too.

Yeah it's a problem, to combat it I either call a number if listed, or view the address on Google street view. If the building looks dilapidated it's a no go lol.
