Banner Coin Exchange is a true gem of Pittsburgh and a must stop if you want to get a taste of the old-time Burg.



The shop is totally retro: a hard to find little nook on 4th Avenue. It evokes images of Ollivander's Wand Shop in Diagon Alley. It is stuffed and piled with dusty boxes and coins, knick-knacks and yellowed photos. Piles and piles of fond memories and broken dreams. And Eddie knows every bit of it.



There is no pretense. No BS. Just fair deals and fair trades. Eddie is just good at what at he does and he knows it. Buy or sell - you will get fair trade.



Not only is Eddie LGBT friendly - he is EVERYONE friendly. He is always honest, quick and knows exactly what a fair price is.

I only wish I could give more than five stars for this review.

i had some silver dollars that were left to me by my father. I went to several cash for gold buyers and was offered $12-$15 each for them. I went to Sq. Hill and the South Hills, same....then I went to see Eddie at Banner Coin downtown and three of them were worth $200 each....that is what I expect ....total honesty and not taking a shot at me. ...no wonder they have been there for decades....thankyou eddie, we are all hurting and need the real deal.

Banner Coin Exchange is an excellent choice when searching for information about gold and jewelry. We had stumbled into Eddie's shop with no idea what we were doing to exchange or sell old engagement rings. While Eddie did not deal with diamonds, he was kind enough to teach us what we needed to know. He knew where we needed to go and helped us find exactly what we needed. Eddie is a dream to work with and was honest and straight forward. I recommend Banner Coin Exchange for anyone looking to get rid of old jewlery or coins. If Eddie cannot make an exchange with you, he will do everything he can to make sure you get what you are looking for. Thanks Eddie!

I chose to go to Banner Coin Exchange based on reviews that I had read and let me say that I was certainly not disappointed! I was greeted warmly the moment I walked in even though another customer was being assisted. Eddie is such a friendly man who does his job well. I went in with some old jewelry that I no longer had any need for and walked out with a much bigger profit than I had ever anticipated. This is most definitely a 5 star business run by a 5 star gentleman. I highly recommend a visit to this establishment, as I know that I will certainly be going back. Thanks for a great experience!
