I've been doing business with the gold mine since the early 80's. Over the years, I've dealt with them in a number of different capacities. My husband is a coin collector and works with John at the gold mine buying and selling rare coins. With the economy right now, John has also helped Rick invest in gold and silver bullion. He's extremely knowledgeable and has always been very fair and honest with us. I also used the gold mine to redesign my wedding ring (and ""upgrade"" the center diamond) a few years back. I still get compliments on it and they clean it for me for free anytime I stop by. It's so convenient... I drop my ring off, run to Ralphs and by the time I get back it looks brand new. It's nice to work with a store that's been around for so long and cares about maintaining its good reputation. I give the Irvine Gold Mine my wholehearted recommendation!
Pros: fair prices, good customer service
