Anyone know any good coin dealers or shops in the Toronto area? Has anyone ever been to Arcade Coins?

B&W Coins and Tokens, in Brampton is nice. Pretty large inventory, lots of numismatic literature and well-sorted bins to hunt varieties for. My only complaint is that there is not a table or a place for a collector to sit and sort through all the junk bins for varieties.

Ami's Coins and Stamps is a small shop at Dundas and Roncesvalles. The propietor Alex is a nice guy and doesn't mind letting you spend a couple hours looking through things.

It would help to know what you collect specifically so we don't sent you off to places that don't stock it/them.

Arcade is ok, they have lots of stock, a bit pricy though.
In the east-end of Toronto there is a great coin shop 'Central Coin' the guy there is very friendly and helpful.
Avoid 'Bay Coin & Stamp' at all costs, never have I been tread so rudely in a store, let alone a coin store.
I don't know if it's because I'm not spending hundreds of dollars when I go to a Toronto coin shop, but my overall impression of coin shops are rude and disinterested staff...definitively my least favorite part of something I really enjoy. It's really too bad.

I agree with you about Bay Coin and Stamps. My one experience there was definitely not a positive one, unfortunately.

They have a pretty fair selection of coins... Their shop is moving north a block from their advertised location in Richmond Hill. Prices are average.
