J&m Coins

I second SPP, top notch service :)

Since I live in Vancouver, J and M is my go to store. They have more inventory than anyone else locally. I get along well with the staff. If you call ahead, they will pre-pick what you are looking for, bring out several options of each coin, and let you choose from there.

One time I accidentally bought something I already had, and the return for a full refund was easy. You can return anything within 2 weeks of purchase.

There are other people as nice to deal with in Vancouver, but J and M has the most inventory, and they'll hunt around with other dealers for hard to find coins for me.

I give them a thumbs up.

I have dealt with JandM and I stop in when in the area, I like Chantou better as I have found I have a better chance at haggling prices on my purchases.

I've been dealing with J and M for 15 years or so. I recommend trying them out!

I've been to both the one at Metrotown mall and their main store. Metro town had better service but a lot less selection and they will refer you to the main store for a better selection.
I found the one salesman at the main store to be a bit of a snob. I went there with a buddy to buy some silver dollars for my collection, I was in a T shirt and my buddy had a shirt with a collar. I stood at the counter waiting (no one else in the store) the guy was doing paper work, he finally finished gets up and walks right buy me and down the counter to ask my buddy who doesn't collect coins if he wanted help. My buddy says no thanks and the guy walks by me and goes back to his paper work.
Another salesman comes by a few minutes later and helps me out and I buy $300 in silver dollars. So if you go there make sure you don't wear a "t" shirt if you want service

The service at J&M main location depends on how serious of a coin collector you look.
The Metrotown service might be better, because they deal more with the general population that shops at a mall for food and clothing. The employee there is not at all knowledgeable though.
I like their grading. As ICCS overgrades more and more coins, J&M now sells raw coins of a given grade a bit more expensive than the same coin graded by ICCS, just because they're stricter in grading.
I mean, if you were to send your MS 65 coin from J&M to ICCS, it won't come back as MS 66. However, the eye appeal would generally be better. Objectively, in terms of scratches and wear, J&M would still be somewhat better.

If you're looking for a quality store in Calgary, check out the Calgary Coin.

Robert kokotailo, the owner is very friendly, knowledgeable and willing to haggle prices. More so than a lot of the other dealers I see most of whom are just grumpy old men. Calgary Coin is my go to place for Ancients, Medieval and Canadian Coins. For US coins I prefer ebay, but with the conversion rate way up there, I haven't been making any purchases in USD lately.
