I have dealt with them many many times, ..They have a huge inventory of certified coins...Also if you bring in coins to sell they have several people on staff who are pretty good a grading + they are pretty fair....Steven will also do the grading if its big ticket items as it is him footing the bill

I find they are usually high on their uncertified coins. For example if a coin is likely a VF30, then they will list it as an EF40. They have a very decent selection but I would challenge them on grade. Compare their EF40 to an ICCS EF40 and you'll see what I mean. They clearly know how to make money, both off seller and buyers of coins.

I've bought overgraded coins from his shop before. They're really optimistic about their grading abilities, IMO, and this makes them charge one grade more than they should most of the time. This is for raw coins, I might add.
Their staff is also...weird to say the least, although 1-2 of them are cool. One time I bought a couple of silver philharmonics and the lady said, "Enjoy your coins!" I thought that was a weird thing to say, almost as if she came straight from a flower shop.
I think they cater to a richer crowd judging by their address. I came in with a list of silver certs I wanted and they've never once called me. In my experience they are all about the buck, every single time.

The only thing I don't like are the small pictures when shopping.
Back before Christmas when silver was lower, my wife decided to get me some SML's. No-one anywhere was interested in selling her any. Mr. Bromberg was the only one interested in making a customer happy.
I will shop there again.

He should fire them all sounds like bad customer service.

The first thing you'll notice at your first coin show is that all the dealers are dressed in K-mart clothing, and K-mart closed shop in Canada 15 years ago. The staff from Canadian Coin & Currency are among the few exceptions. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...
