Step into a legacy that began in 1955, when visionary founder Ross Hartoon opened Sarnia Coin Exchange on the historic Front Street in Sarnia, Ontario.
In the vibrant mid-1970s, Ross passed the torch to his close friend and dedicated mentee, Jim Hall. Jim has carried the torch with pride, nurturing and expanding our beloved company through nearly seven decades of growth and trust.
Today, we continue that tradition of trust, expertise, and personalized service. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just beginning your precious metals journey, we're here to help.
