Smith's Coins

The place is tucked away at the plaza between a tanning place and a bank, not a natural choice for a hobby store. However, the services they provide are excellent. Great selection of coins from all over the world and the States (even the hard-to-find state quarters :), and lots of paraphernalia that goes with collecting (pocket albums and such). The staff/owner is very knowledgeable, great person to talk to - expecially if you are looking for something for a coin collector, but you aren't much of a connosseur yourself :)

It took me a while to track this place down, nobody new where to find a coin store in Lafayette. But it does everything that a coin collector needs - from coin maintenance and evaluation, to selling every state quarter that's in circulation :) So if you're lacking a particular mintage, that's the place to do. Great selection of antique and international coins as well.

PROS: wide variety
CONS: hard to find
