Do you need help selling stamps, coins, artwork or other collectables? Look no farther than the United States Stamp Company! Ron Umile and his staff provided my family with outstanding services selling our eclectic collection of stamps, gold and silver coins, oil paintings and prints, silver bars, and other collectables. We researched selling our collection on our own, and quickly learned this is a Herculean task. Finally after years of trying to sell our collection on our own, we are very glad to have turned to US Stamp Company for help. Ron accepted our entire collection for consignment. Everything was sold, and for a better price than we hoped to obtain on our own. During the process we received periodic updates and a detailed transaction history. Most importantly, Ron quickly earned our trust with his professionalism, wide-ranging knowledge, and international connections in the world of collectables. Highly recommended!

Ron and his son were very kind in coming to help me sort through a stamp collection and various objects that I inherited during the height of the COVID shutdown. I was overwhelmed with the task of disposing of a house full of items and grieving the recent loss of my brother. Although the collection was relatively small, Ron communicated with me as if it was important. I appreciated his caring attitude. Because of the challenges of 2021, it took a while to sell the collection and Ron kept me informed throughout the process. I felt I was in good hands the entire time and I happily recommend this company.

Some people believe that the giving of your time to another is the most commonly vetted way of demonstrating care. Others think it's money. I believe there is room enough for both expressions of concern to play an essential role among humankind.
After I finished reading most all of the posted reviews, I took pause! I noticed something that caught my eye. It was that the reviews were about receiving excellent customer service from Ron Umile (Company's CEO). That's what stood out in every review I read! Hmm!
Now, I have to admit that in the beginning, I questioned the tributes conferred to mean that he was the "real deal"! A perfect 5-star average, to me, seemed a bit suspicious.
This troubling thought became problematic for me. I mean finding the same description in all the reviews became the fly in the ointment! It was the scarlet thread that ran through all the reviews that was giving rise to the thought of looking elsewhere for help. Because help is what I needed, big time!
Albeit I retained my suspicions, I still would have felt remiss had I stepped away without assurance that my suspicions were more than just a mere possibility, but a probability! I was incumbent that stepped further into what possibly was the lions den. Because, I was sitting on 250+ postal albums that were in my charge to liquidate! Yet, all I knew about stamp collecting was that you needed them to send stuff and that they should have the word "Forever" written on them.
So, like everyone else, I called Ron for help. Surprisingly, and like everyone else, Ron was coming through in the clutch! He came up with very workable logistics that I really prayed I would hear. Ron offered to drive out to my location with a van big enough to carry the payload on a Saturday.
Ron has the willingness to provide what Digitized Global Marketing cannot attain. Thanks, Ron.

Thank you for your support and service. I appreciate your handling my stamps.

It will take a while, but will be in touch regarding some additional stamps to sell.

You will be my first contact on stamp sales!

Thanks again,

Working with Ron and his staff was amazing. They carted all the boxes and albums up to their office and he went through them briefly. We talked about the process and he gave me a timeline of which he followed to a T. We were very pleased with the professionalism as well as the compassion. I would and have already recommended US Stamp & Coin to others. Thanks for making a frustrating chore a pleasant experience. I learned so much from you and am most pleased with the results. Thanks, Carol Siefkin

Our experience with US Stamp and Coin was first rate. They were easy and professional to deal with and got us excellent results. If you are looking to liquidate collectables these are the people you want to be with.

Ron was excellent to work with. All of my calls were answered or returned almost immediately. He helped me sort and liquidate a significant stamp, coin, sports memorabilia, DVD and miscellaneous collectible items collection. He also provided an appraisal for several items. I would not have been able to process this collection without his expertise. I would highly recommend US Stamp Company to anyone looking for assistance with anything collectible. If he can't help you directly, he will most surely know someone he can refer you to.

Ron is the best. After my dad died, I took his 75 stamp albums to Ron's office building, he helped me cart the albums upstairs and spent over 2 hours browsing through the albums while assessing their value. Then, after a few months and a few periodic progress updates, he sent me a big check which was way over the assessed value. This guy clearly knows what he is doing! There's no way I could have cleared this much profit on my own. I highly recommend United States Stamp Company.

Ron, was there for me when I needed help the most. My Dad who had passed away several months before had amassed a large collection of stamps, coins, paper currency as well as knives, coca cola memorabilia and other assorted items. I honestly had no idea how to appraise or sell these thing. Ron and his team came in and over the course of 2 days categorized the entire collection. He advanced me 5K in a week and the collection itself took over 6 months for him to part out, but I got an additional whopping 17K when all was said and done. He even sent me a detailed list, line item by line item of all that sold including costs. Ron is extremely professional and trustworthy. If you need to sell you can trust your stuff here.

Best stamp store in town!

This is by far the best and more reliable stamp collecting store in San Francisco. They provide excellent customer service & are very trustworthy all around. It's kind of hard to find their website but its usstampco.net (I think it's under construction) recommend this place to everyone. They buy & appraise stamps also.
