I've taken my coins to Andrew a few times. Him and his staff are very nice people. Andrew is honest and down to earth. 👍

I have purchased several bulk lots of world coins from Sterling & Currency over the last few years. Not only are the selections I receive great (some duplication is par for the course), but the postage is truly cheap as chips. And I hope to be a customer for many more years. I've certainly never experienced any of the rudeness that other reviewers have mentioned.

I live on East Coast but prefer dealing with Andrew on the West due to his integrity, knowledge and prices, either buying or selling over many years. You will always do better buying from Andrew if you're after quality and "real" coins. If you take a coin to value and it's a fake, he will tell you. If it's valuable or mid range, he will be as honest with that valuation. After decades dealing with Andrew (and many other dealers as I have been collecting for well over 40 years), I am of the opinion that Sterling & Currency and particularly Andrew are the best numismatic dealers in Australia.

Just purchased a 1966 blue case decimal mint set. Andrew gave me a ring to ensure it had arrived and provided some very interesting and probably unknown information concerning these blue cases imported from South Africa during the apartheid era. Great service and a compendium of knowledge. Thanks!

I have placed 3 orders with Sterling & Currency and I have received exceptional service. The owner Andrew is kind, knowledgable, and responsive. The coins I purchased were packaged so nicely, and I even found a couple of mentos in there too…

Andrew and Nicole at Sterling and Currency always making sure my purchases come with a smile! Very happy going into Fremantle to see them as often as I can. So much always on offer and a great excuse to get out of the city! Peter

I've bought from this phenomenal shop multiple times, and the genuine kindness of Andrew and his team stands out every time. Add in the competitive pricing and Andrew's deep knowledge, and it's clear why this shop is one of the best — not just in Western Australia, but across the country!

Great experience in selling a large collection of pre-decimal and decimal coins and notes to Andrew. I really appreciated the transparency in the process as it was all sorted, counted and written out in detail in front of me, line by line…

Fortunate enough and very grateful to have had some of Andrew's time. Fair price offered for coins and straight up honest advice in appraisals. Can't go past this team for selling and buying.
