Is anyone familiar with coin dealers in St. Lucie County, Florida?

I am trying to help a friend looking for an bricks and mortar coin shop in St. Lucie County. Fort Pierce is the County seat.

Any suggestions that I can pass on to my friend residing in Florida would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

West Bay Trading in Vero Beach has a B&M, off the top of my head, that’s the closest. But there are quite a few dealers in FL.
Not knowing your friend’s goal, the Melbourne coin show is this Sunday. He can meet a number of FL dealers there.

Thank you Walkerguy21D. I will pass on that information about West Bay Trading in Vero Beach.

Best to drive a little further to Boynton Beach FL and see Dan at Peak Rarities. He is the best and really honest. A former collector.

@PeakRarities is more than a good coin dealer. He really loves coins and his passion is evident. He is one of the greatest if not the greatest in the business.

I like Dan, but I'm not sure he's a traditional B&M for all collectors. It might help if we new what the OP's friend actually collects.

That’s why I pointed him to West Bay. I assumed someone looking for an actual B&M was looking for a place to buy and sell bullion, junk silver, raw “collector” coins, Morgan dollars, generic slabs, etc, which is what they do, I know them from shows, and they have a good reputation.

I like Dan too, and a great guy to talk to, but I consider myself a fairly advanced collector, and he’s way out of my league.

I appreciate the referral @oreville, but @jmlanzaf and @Walkerguy21D are giving sound advice. I do not own a traditional B&M, and operate by appointment only. I have an office suite to conduct business, and most of my inventory is 4 figures and up. I typically stock some generic gold and silver and can handle any size bullion transaction, and I can order anything with advance notice. Generally will refer business under a minimum value to another local shop because I'm not in the office every day, but I encourage potential customers to text/email me pictures first if they'd like to sell something, which screens out all of the Sacajawea and bicentennial Ike inquiries .

Is it true PeakR has $1000 and $5000 junk boxes?

jmlanzaf, my friend has some silver and gold purchased from a PM retailer perhaps 10 years or more ago. That retailer is still in business and I confirmed they are reputable. He would like to visit a B&M within his easy driving range where he can purchase more PM's and to verify that his current stack is genuine. Based on proximity to his Florida residence I recommended that he visit both West Bay Trading and Peak Rarities.

Perhaps he will transition into coin collecting and not just PM stacking.

Nothing wrong with just stacking.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I have passed along the Peak Rarirites contact information to my Florida friend.
