Review №1

Reneged on eBay purchase claiming order cancelled at my request. I never requested cancelation. Olevian further stated technical error in pricing after purchase was completed. Id think that a company with integrity, even if a mistake was made, would honor their word, but they did not. This was particularly disappointing in that I had previous purchases from Olevian at local coin shows but will now avoid going forward.

If you are looking to invest in precious metals or add a new coin to your collection, look no further. Olevian Numismatic Rarities has friendly and knowledgeable staff that I genuinely feel are looking out for their clients best interests. Dane and Adam are very informative regarding coins value by date, silver/gold content, grade, etc. You will truly get the best numismatic experience the Pittsburgh area can offer. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer anyone to this business regarding any of their precious metal or Numismatic needs and will continue to use them for my own.

I had an excellent experience with Olevian Numismatic Rarities over a 7-month period. My 88-year-old dad had a small coin collection that was not well stored and had never been valued. Many of the coins were Morgan dollars from the 1880s to 1900, in various conditions but banging around in a box for decades. There were also a bunch of 90% silver Kennedy half dollars, some other odds and ends, and a ton of Eisenhower silver dollars and half dollars. I had set up an appointment with Jimmy back in March 2020 but it was delayed once or twice then canceled due to COVID-19. Jimmy and I corresponded every so often over the next few months as restrictions loosened. We were finally able to set up an appointment in early Oct. 2020, to which I brought my dad. Jimmy was not feeling well, so he put us in the hands of Adam, who was very helpful and went through the whole collection explaining which ones were valuable, which were worth metals value, which were just worth face value, etc. He lined them all up, showed us as he went, and then itemized all the coins and assigned a value. He came to a total for the whole set (minus the bunch that were only face-value, which we took back home with us). My dad and I considered the offer, felt it was fair, and Adam wrote my dad a check right then and there. I would highly recommend Olevian Numismatic Rarities if you have a coin collection that you are looking to sell.

Offered the best prices in the Pittsburgh area for gold and silver coins that have been in the family for years. Friendly, professional service from Adam. Will go to Olevian for any future business.

Just bought my first silver ever through Dane online (10 silver rounds) at a great price, especially considering the current circumstances. The coins are beautiful and he was extremely helpful in answering my questions before and after purchase. Cant wait to see his store.

I have known and done business with Dr. Dane Olevian and Olevian Numismatic Rarities for more than the past half-decade. For a young man his age, I find him remarkably focused and knowledgeable on a remarkable number of subjects, not the least being numismatics. I have collected coins since my Boy Scout merit badge days a half-century ago. Dr. Olevian has help me acquire several interesting pieces, and even more importantly, has sometimes advised me on what he would NOT acquire. I have found him extremely pleasant, highly competent, and believe his pricing to be fair. In the murky world of “wholesale-retail,” Grey-sheet pricing,” and subjective grades, who can discern what are actually fair prices? Will the Rosetta Stone decipher please step up?I have also several times engaged in small business enterprises with Dr. Olevian. In every case I have found him to be completely honest in all matters and scrupulously correct in performance. If you have youngsters of interest and wish to embark them on the wonderful and interesting world of coin collecting, he can advise the most popular and practical ways to stimulate their interest at modest cost. Without qualification, I recommend Dr. Olevian and the Olevian Numismatic Rarities staff to anyone growing their collection, liquidation their collection, considering rare coins as an investment, or just interested in acquiring a unique piece for that exclusive long-term, lay-away keepsake for a special family member or loved one.Gerald P.

As novices to the gold/rare coins market, we looked for the best reviews and most trustworthy and reputable businesses we could find online and locally before purchasing. Dane C. Olevian Numismatic Rarities being a local business in the Pittsburgh region, we decided to speak with Dane and find out what his background, knowledge, and expertise held in this industry. How impressive, personal, and knowledgeable this man is. He was more than happy to share all information about any questions asked (about any coin) and more. His knowledge and background (not to mention professional credentials) is impressive and based on his suggestions, our research thereafter, and his willingness to educate us, we have made a couple purchases to start a collection. Dane and team member are very accommodating and trustworthy. After the first purchase, we knew that Dane (and the personal responses we received) is an excellent proprietor and who we’d like to continue to do business with. We look forward to future transactions. Highly recommended as a knowledgeable, experienced, and professional dealer source for gold and rare coins.

This business provides excellent service with fast turnaround on orders and products that match the images and descriptions perfectly. I have interacted with Dane on every one of my many purchases and, while he is incredibly informed about the field and his products, he has always treated me with the utmost courtesy and respect while sharing his knowledge with me. Its clear that, regardless of the amount Im spending, he wants to make the best suggestions and answer my questions so I understand and appreciate my items.

Dane Olevian, the owner of ONR, is a consummate professional who always sets a fair price. He maintains a solid inventory and knows the market. While I am more of a “stacker” than a collector, Dane has helped me acquire a nice selection of both bullion and numismatic coins. I returned to the collecting world after a thirty-year break, and he has answered my numerous questions with patience and courtesy.

5 Stars all the way. I have had the pleasure of meeting Dane about three years ago at a major local Coin show. At that show, Dane had paid me almost 5× more than what treasure hunt had offered me for a set of V Nickels that I had inherited from a family member. During my conversation with Dane, he sparked my interest in coins and have been a repeat customer ever since. Pittsburgh has no shortage of coin Dealers who claim to pay the most, but my dealings with Mr. Olevian have been the most beneficial, not even close.

As someone with little to no awareness of the worth of my coins outside of what information the internet had to offer, I was pleasantly surprised and reassured by the time Dane took to carefully explain the criteria by which he assessed their value. I am a repeat customer now and would not hesitate to engage his services again should the need arise.

Dane is honest and is very knowledgeable. He seems to be able to locate rate and hard to find coins easily. Well respected in the numismatic community.

Inherited some coins from a deceased relative, and knowing nothing about them I did a quick Google search for Pittsburgh coin dealers. From there, I found Danes website and read his thoughtfully authored article on rare coins, which I found to be informative and relatable. I used the contact form on his website, and he got back to me within 48 hours. Since the collection was small, he asked me to take some photos, and then we met to go over them. He spent an entire hour going over seven or eight coins with me, offering interesting details about each and the justification for his offer. Id checked the values on eBay before meeting with him, and his prices were right in line with my research. Weve conducted a couple transactions since and each time Ive found him to be fair, flexible, and generous with his time and knowledge. Highly recommended.

Dane was very helpful with my quest to find a specific coin. He located it and was more than fair. I find him very knowledgeable and willing to take time to share it.

Review №21

I had a very large collection of coins to sell that were my fathers. I called a few dealers and they gave me offers that were almost insulting, and without even really looking at the coins. Dane Olevian, however, came to my home and went over each coin one by one, explaining what I had, and in the end he offered me more than twice than the other people I called. I feel very comfortable working with this dealer and would recommend him to anyone.

Best Coin Dealer in Pittsburgh by Far for US Rarities and Bullion.As a coin and bullion enthusiast I have met and worked with just about every dealer in Pittsburgh. I have found plenty of ok dealers but Dane stands out as the easiest to work with. He is not only knowledgeable but very fair when buying or selling. He has actually paid me more money on some of my coins than I asked for initially because he said they were worth more. Most dealers will not pay you fairly so do yourself a favor and talk to Dane first.Since meeting Dane I have come back to him several times to sell my coins but I have also re-invested that money into other Rare coins he offered me at wholesale prices.

Guys a real jerk. I had questions about a coin and not only did he talk down to me but he said call on Monday to make an appointment if you want, or not - I really dont care, its not worth that much.
