Shawn showed me some coins and coin sets and wrote down prices for me. I told him I wished my cell phone had a camera so I could show my wife what I was looking at. He asked if I had an email that he could send the photos to and they were there when I got home. When Mrs. Humphreys arrived things really got rolling. She showed me a wide range of gold and silver coins. She was very knowledgeable and patient with me, I did not feel rushed or pressured, even when other customers were waiting to see her. I spent about two hours there and came away with a wealth of information and several purchases that were sold at wholesale pricing. I will be returning in the very near future with the boss/wife to make a more informed and serious investment with the Humphreys. Also I would like to give a shout out to the good looking woman working the floor (forgot her name) she showed me how to identify via a "loop" the markings on gold items that showed what karat was stamped on it.

I would like to tell of my excellent experience at Humphreys & Son. I called the day before and spoke with Helen Humphreys; she seemed very pleasant and knowledgeable. I told her that I would come in tomorrow and see what options were available to me for being a first time investor in gold and silver. I arrived when they opened and met Helens son, Shawn, who is a master jeweler and a jack of all trades. He told me Helen was on her way in, (shes the Numismatist) and did I have any questions (I had a lot) he could answer. The first thing I asked was for the value of a very small broken gold chain (less than 2 grams) I had with me. His offer was higher than any of the several pawn shops I went to and significantly higher ($17.80 higher!) then a recent jewelry store offer. He explained the difference between a Troy ounce (31.1 grams) used for precious metals and the avoirdupois ounce (28.35 grams) that most of us, except for the name are familiar with.
