About us…
When Greg Olson opened the doors of Treasure Island Coins in 1976, he brought his lifelong passion for coin collecting and metal detecting to Fargo, North Dakota. Since then, Treasure Island has grown into the largest bullion dealer in the region, while remaining a family owned, family ran business. Treasure Island Coins is committed to educating our clients about precious metals and providing our clients with the most competitive pricing we can offer. We take pride in our superior customer service. At our core, we simply believe in honesty and transparency. Today we are a full service precious metals and numismatic coin shop. We offer modern and old collectible coins, as well as bullion from government and private mints world wide. In 2010, Christopher Olson opened Dakota Depository at the same physical location as Treasure Island Coins. Dakota Depository offers state of the art vaults and onsite security to provide its clients with confidence and peace of mind that their precious metals are safe and secure in the heartland.
