Bonanza Coins
The vibe from the owner was creepy and snootyEight days after my earlier review on Bonanza Coins I received an email from Sam Leidman, Julian Leidman’s son. Sam apologized, and explained that Julian “realized an error that he made and selfishly tried to reconcile it without [my] consent.” Sam continued by saying that his father’s behavior was “a poor business decision, and quite unethical.” I agree with Sam’s assessment.
Sam said that “the bank did not stop payment of that check to [me] and this matter is now closed.” I was not convinced that the check had cleared, so I waiting a full month before accessing the funds that came from the check to be sure that the check had cleared.
The check did clear, so it was not necessary for me to take Bonanza Coins to small claims court, and I now consider the matter closed as well.
I cannot say whether or not Julian intended to deceive me, or if his actions were just a result of bad judgment, but my interaction with Bonanza Coins left a bad taste in my mouth, and I will not be returning.
Scam Coin Dealer
Imagine getting a call from a coin dealer after you bought $7,000+ of coins on his website that he wants you to pay another $1000 because he feels the coins are worth more than he had for sale on his site or he will cancel the order and not ship the goods you ordered. That is my experience with Bonanza Coins. Stay far away from this joke of a business owner. Plenty of professionals to work with who won’t bait and switch you when ordering.
This is an excellent coin shop with a huge inventory and very fair prices.
This is an excellent coin shop with a huge inventory and very fair prices. The owner is very nice and lets us look through boxes of coins for hours. The location is across the street from a public garage and near many shops and restaurants. My son and I have been buying coins at Bonanza coins for two years.
