John always has presents for the hardest people on my shopping list, and something fun for me to take home. Recently, he helped me thrill a coin collector, and surprise a friend. Its always fun to take a peek at the vintage jewelry and the antiques. Many of the engagement rings and jeweled pins are estate jewelry, and impossible to find new. One case has costume jewelry and pretty oddities.Id go to him first for realistic appraisals. He doesnt just know the collectors guides, he also closely tracks NY and online auctions and show prices, and has a good idea of what buyers are pursuing this year.He buys gold and silver, and can give quick lessons on how to recognize and weigh them.

This is a fun shop to browse around in, and I never walk out without a new treasure! The store owner is very friendly, and his items are reasonably priced!
