My Client, in their own words!

The coin specialist of South Florida. Gold Coins, Silver Coins, Bullion, Rare Coins, Early U.S Gold are our Specialty.

Approximately 6 years ago I was looking for an area of investment other than the Stock Market to place a sum of money that would be liquid.Stock Investments are up and down as are precious metals but to have an investment in your hands can be extremely advantageous versus paper.
I learned this from Mr. Echeverria. His patience and knowledge helped me to make the right choices within the family budget.I thank him for giving myself and my family some peace of mind in these trying Economic Times

It has been a blessing to me and my family to do business with Mr. Dale Echeverria of Island Rarities of Florida. During my twenty-five plus years of dealing with them I have found Mr. Echeverria to be a man of utmost integrity and wisdom. He has always directed me wisely. We have become friends, though we have never met.

Island Rarities has been the easiest company to buy sell or trade. The coins I have received are everything it was described, and came in wonderful packaging. I will use Island Rarities over and over to acquire even more coins and I look forward to having a long relationship with Dale. It is so very nice to have someone you can trust in today’s world.

In all of my dealings with Dale at ISLAND RARITIES OF FLORIDA, I have found it to be a first class operation. The coins are always of the stated quality (or better), and necessary communication is always there!

I have been working with Dale for over twenty years and have always found him to be very knowledgeable and trustworthy. He takes the necessary time to understand my objectives and then always suggests several alternatives for me to consider. Yes, I am a customer, but I also consider Dale a friend!

I wanted to express my thanks to you in a letter. I appreciate everything you did for me, from taking the time to know that I understood completely to helping me with efficiency in the disbursements of my father’s coin collection. Having never met with you in person, I feel I can trust in you, I know that if ever I have questions you would take the time for me.
Thank You & Take Care,

“Having dealt with Dale Echeverria since 1987, I can only write of an honorable man who goes above the call of customer service. I highly recommend this professional to all who cross his path. As a long-time customer from Connecticut, I seek out Dale’s good advice on numismatics and bullion on a regular basis. Don’t waste your time asking him for his football picks or basketball favorites, not his specialty.”

“I have used Island Rarities to obtain some rare and expensive coins, and every time the coin received has been EAXACTLY as described with no surprises at all. If they say it’s a good coin, you can count on it! (and if you don’t like it, they’ll take it back; but that has never been necessary for me.)”

I have been purchasing coins from Island Rarities for several years with confidence and trust. The mark up from spot price are as low as any other dealer I have bought from including the internet dealers. Dale is not a high pressure sales person and is very easy to work with. He sells me what I want to buy, not what he wants to sell. I recommend Island Rarities as your go-to coin dealer.

My relationship with Dale began in 2006 while consummating a transaction on eBay; I had recently decided to “invest” in old gold coins. I didn’t know what I was doing, and I eager to start learning and Dale was receptive to my incessant questions. So in a great stroke of luck for me, Dale quickly became, and still is to this day, my trusted advisor. I ask many questions and Dale takes the time to educate me. He gives it to me straight when he finds flaws in my thinking – and he explains why he disagrees. I have not always followed Dale’s advice, but in hindsight I almost always regret not having done so. Fortunately, I’ve learned a lot about coins, coin collecting, and the coin market from Dale along the way. Since 2006, I’ve acquired a great many coins through Dale and they are all outstanding; I have become a true collector now ¦not just a blind investor. I have great pride in the quality of my collection that Dale has helped me assemble. I spend much time researching coins and visiting local coin shows; as a result I can say one thing with certainty: the coins that Dale brings to my collection are a significant cut above most other coins available in the market. He is my eyes and ears in the market, he educates me constantly, and he brings me outstanding coins; he is very valuable to me.
