A very proficient and friendly owner, Bill, was fair in his assessment of my pieces. I definitely will refer his business to others.

Great Shop!

First time in this shop and will definitely go back and recommend it to friends. Extremely honest and I love having the instant money. Lake Forest, Illinois

Totally Ripped Off!

Went in with preliminary estimates on some jewelry and silver I was looking to sell (Tiffany sterling and a couple more esoteric pieces). Based on the WRITTEN quotes I received prior to stopping in at William H Ltd, I had an idea of what the pieces were worth. I received LESS THAN HALF! This is nothing more than an over rated pawn shop. I am BEYOND DISAPPOINTED. If I didn't need to raise the cash fast, and wasn't relying on public transportation, I would NEVER have sold my pieces here. Hindsight is always 20/20, but someone needs to expose this "jewelry store" for what it is.... a pawn shop that specializes in ripping people off.

Silver Buyer

Passed by this store, met Bill, and some family, I was looking to buy silver coins or bars, as I am investing in some silver as a back up investment, I was buying from a large firm that only sell in lots of 20 oz's or more, but that can be to expensive all at one time, my goal was to buy 3-4 oz''s a week, Bill was more than happy to meet my needs and if he had to he would get an outside source to help me meet my demand, he will go out of his way for you, and is a fair business man, he did not up charge for a huge commission on each piece I bought, which the other place I dealt with I felt I had to pay much over the market value of silver at the time, I would recommend this jewelry shop/ antique shop to every one who wants a fair deal!! I just love to go there and shoot the breeze too, he is more than the owner, he is a good guy to talk to!! Just a great place - Mike from Highwood , IL

Need an honest merchant.

I stumbled upon this storefront merchant. Needed some appraisals and this man (William H.) was equal to the task. After some prelim research, I found him to be honest and of high integrity. I would highly recommend for precious metal evaluations.

A wonderful place

Bill has tremendous knowledge regarding antiques and jewelry and Bernie is the king of diamonds! We are frequent William H customers and have never been unhappy. They're the best

A Great Little North Shore Secret

I've bought and sold gold and silver at William H for a number of years. They provide the lowest prices when I'm buying and offer extremely fair values when I'm selling better than any of the TV and online offers I've seen. I tried a few local coin shops to compare recently and William H blows them away.M.

Best in the North Shore

Over the last couple of years I've had the opportunity to buy and sell silver, gold and assorted collectables from Bill at William H. Limited in Highwood. His knowledge and fair pricing on both the buy and sell beats all the others stores by a significant margin. He's the real deal.
