I will be flying into New Jersey this weekend and will take Monday and Tuesday roaming around the areas. Does anyone know of any other coin shops near Trenton/ Princeton besides Trenton stamp and coin? Thanks. -Dan

Head across the water to Phila, there are numerous shops with a 25 mile radius.......some high dollar stuff and some pawn shop like junk.

your right in my neck of the woods.

if you're in ewing (listed as trenton, but in the trenton suburbs easily accessed by I95) you can try
sam colavia
209 scotch road, trenton, nj 08628

he's personally helped me out a few times, very nice guy.

in newtown, pa, just over the bridge for I95 which connects NJ and PA (7 min away from colavias, again, easy to get to from I95)
newtown coin and stamp
129 north state street
newtown pa 18940

it's more of a 'hole in the wall' type place, but they have tons of stuff in there. lady there is very nice and extremely knowledgeable.

the benefit of newtown is state street is a very cool street to take a walk down, a bunch of shops, places to eat, things to walk in and browse (record exchange, book store, coffee etc)
nice historic area if you're looking to spend an hour or so

this was an attempted edit

you should stop in for a chat with harry foreman, in the philly area. he's got a thousand stories, picking up 20-30 bags of bu morgans from the federal resrve in philly, and shipping them out the same day at philly airport and many more.

In Hamilton, which is the southeast part of Trenton is Colonial Valley Coins. I've never been to the shop, but he attends the local shows, is a nice guy and has some nice, older stuff.

I'll have to stop in the Newtown shop one of these days. It's pretty close to me, but I was only in there once, about 10 years ago.

That's my local dealer ( I live about half an hour south of them) and I've been there 5 or 6 times. They're very nice and helpful.

Main Line Coins in Ardmore is one of the few I've been to; probably a 45 minute ride from Trenton area. They are at all the major shows. Owner's son is now a grader at PCGS.

Delaware Valley Rare Coins is in Broomall, PA which is 15 minutes from Ardmore.
