Its always a pleasure to visit Darrin at his shop. I'm into a little of everything when it comes to currency, gold or silver. Darrin always has a nice selection to chose from.
I used to go to pawn shops and always felt like I was being patronized or I've felt like they thought I didn't know what I was talking about when it came to selling precious metals. Before going to DeMoines I decided to Google some where in Waterloo and found Cedar Valley Coins & Collectibles. Darrin made me feel like I was talking to a fellow enthusiastm as if I was talking about Classic cars or even Pokemon cards. I bought a silver buffalo and some goldbacks from him and left like I didn't get ripped off. Rarity nowadays. Great coin shop. Will be back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You'll notice all of these reviews say the same thing - the shop owner, Darrin, is a great person to do business with. Welcoming, knowledgeable and fair to a point you can almost call it generous. I will always be back!
I can't recommend this place highly enough. The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly, and the prices are very reasonable. As someone getting back into the hobby after over a decade hiatus, I am extremely happy that I have a coin shop like this so close to home. Already looking forward to my next visit.
Only went there a couple times, and now it's my place of choice to do business. Love the place, excellent deals. I keep coming back to see if anything new is for sale. Great place to buy and sell gold and silver.
I’ve been a few times to buy from Darrin. He’s been patient with all of my questions and has been very welcoming and kind to my kids when they’re with me. His pricing is good too. I haven’t sold to him yet but would expect to get a good price for what I bring in. I will be going back as often as I can.
I am a life long collector (over 50 years) of American gold and silver coins. Darrin is a knowledgeable and very honest person. I both buy and sell coins with him and will continue to do so.

Darrin is extremely patient and kind. Willing to talk in great detail about any coin or about gold and silver in general. Extremely fair with buying back metals as well. I keep going back as much as possible.
The owner was friendly and fair. I brought in a few pounds of sterling silver scrap and walked out with a few hundred more dollars than the coin shop a bit north on University was willing to pay. There's also a lot of cool old stuff lining the store shelves. My kind of shop.
Great establishment, have traded in gold coins here a few times. Darrin answered any and all questions I had, and was very courteous and friendly the whole time. Also deals in more than just coins, great little shop to check out. Definitely my go to place for coins due to my interactions with him.
Darrin was friendly and knowledgeable and gave us an extremely fair price for our items. We will absolutely be returning customers at Cedar Valley Coins and Collectables!!
My son and I really enjoy our coin guy. I call him “Mr. Cedar Valley,” when I’m talking to other about our coin collection. I have learned so much history of coins and time and event when a certain coin was made, from Darin. Highly recommend his shop! He is friendly and fair. Tell him Jodi from Sumner sent ya! ?
Went to relieve myself of some silver coins. Extremely friendly and helpful answering questions. Even helped me out regarding some paper notes I was never selling. Pricing was fair. Didn't have much time to look around but I did notice some interesting collectables worth checking out. Definitely recommend as the first place to try if you have any interest in buying or selling coins.
The absolute best coin dealer hands down. Darrin is super nice, remembers people, and offers fair deals in both selling and buying. We travel 90 minutes to go to CVC&C. He's that good.
It's always a good experience when stopping by Cedar Valley Coins & Collectibles. Darrin is honest, knowledgeable, and has a great selection of coins and collectibles. Whether you're looking to buy or sell, this is the shop to visit.
Stopped in with very little knowledge of what I wanted, fully expecting a pawn shop sort of experience. Quite the opposite. Darrin was very helpful and informative. He helped me pick out exactly what I was looking for without taking advantage of my lack of knowledge. It was a great experience! Highly recommend! I will be returning.
Very reputable coin dealer. Gave us his time to go through some coins we were unfamiliar with. I would highly recommend stopping in to see Darrin. He knows what he is talking about, and is willing to share it!
Took my coins in to Darrin and found him to be very kind and honest!!! He took his time explaining some history and gave me fair market value. I will always do business with him, no one better in the Cedar Valley!!!
Darrin has a special passion about helping people make wise investment decisions. He has a lot of knowledge in gold and silver. He has treated me and my wife well in questions and decisions that have helped us invest for retirement. If you want to teach your kids about gold and silver use birthdays holidays or any occasion special to your family to give an once of silver. Its a great way to open up conversations about it and you can train your kids to Value these metals. Darrin's your man for that and long term investment plans as well for you. The best part is the relationship you build with him will be there when you need to cash out some or all of your investment. Gold and Silver are considered a form of cash and are not taxed! meaning you win! no one can track your money Just you! Privacy is of importance as well and Darrin is an honorable man in that area! I Highly recommend Darrin!!
Amazing knowledge and customer service from Darrin. This was my first visit to a coin shop and I felt like a little kid in a candy store. I sold some silver at a good price and couldn't help buying some coins before I left. Awesome experience!
I was blown away at the level of customer service from Darrin. Highly flexible and accommodating, he was professional and offered me a better amount than a nearby competitor that rhymes with Chasey Boin. Getting an appraisal from Darrin was comparatively much cheaper AND much more detailed and helpful.
I'll always recommend his shop to anyone I know that's interested in coins.
Ever since we heard of CV Coins and Collectibles, we always recommend him to friends. Darrin is always friendly and welcoming, and my boyfriend and I visit him regularly. Also like how he also gives you history and facts on the things you bring in....makes every visit interesting!
A+ Service! Very warmly greeted when I entered the shop. The store is very organized and clean. Was given accurate and clear information about my coins. Darrin is a man of great integrity in his work. I recommend this shop to anyone wanting to begin or continue coin collecting or trading.
