5 /5 Karyn Cohn: I’m the kind of person to read reviews, and this was my first visit to Eastern Numismatists. I felt comfortable and right at home. My dad left me coins I knew nothing about, the value, the age, the significance or history. Joe sat down with me in a comfortable office and gave me a history lesson…a timeline of sorts, which related to world events as it related to the production of coins, the silver and gold content, the weight, and the age, and I witnessed an incredible machine which miraculously determined the percentage of metal in each coin. I was learning. I had also had fun. The coin values were explained, the profit margins, melt value, rarity.. and time invested to sell a coin, made me fully appreciate how much this family business meant to Joe. He was honest in his assessment. I’ll be back. with additional jars of coins to go through, but will see them in them in the concept of history.
