Why Chula Vista trusts Coin Mart

We've spent years building a reputation based on one simple principle: treat every customer the way we'd want to be treated. No pressure, no gimmicks, just honest expertise.

Part of This Community Since 1959

We're not a chain or a pop-up. Coin Mart has been a fixture in Chula Vista for over 65+ years, a name neighbors recommend to neighbors.

Honest Evaluations

Every evaluation is explained, never rushed. We show you how we arrived at our offer so you leave with confidence, whether you sell or not.

Curated Inventory

We don't carry everything, we carry the right things. Each piece in our showroom is selected for quality, authenticity, and value.

Expert Guidance, Not Sales Pressure

Our team's job is to help you make the right decision, even if that decision isn't a purchase today. That's how we've earned long-term relationships.

Coin Mart Founder

The team behind Coin Mart

A name you can put a face to: Martin Altbaum

Owner & Lead Evaluator, Coin Mart

With over 65+ years in the jewelry and precious metals industry, Martin built Coin Mart on the belief that great service and honest dealing aren't mutually exclusive. What started as a passion for numismatics grew into a full-service destination trusted by thousands of customers across the South Bay.

Today, Coin Mart is a place where a first-time seller feels just as welcome as a seasoned collector. Every transaction is personal. Every evaluation is honest. That's not a policy, it's just who we are.

"We don't have to be the most expensive store in town. We just have to be the most trusted."

— Martin Altbaum, Coin Mart Chula Vista

"I came in not knowing much about the value of my gold jewelry. They walked me through every step, explained the process, and gave me a fair price without any pressure. I'll definitely be back."

"Sold a Rolex I inherited and honestly wasn't sure what to expect. They were patient, gave me a great explanation of the watch's value, and the offer was well above what I found online. Professional and trustworthy."

"I've bought a diamond bracelet and had two rings resized here. The quality is real and the staff knows what they're talking about. It's the kind of local shop that doesn't exist much anymore."
