We offer a wide variety of merchandise in our store including jewelry, precious coins, computers, electronics, cameras, watches, guns, tools and much more. Our friendly, knowledgeable staff is eager to assist you with a purchase or loan anytime.

 

Because of our years of financial lending, we are a recognized lending institution and work closely with many agencies to provide instant appraisals for estates, banks and other businesses. Our experience in buying, trading and loaning means greater service to our customers, and greater quality in the selection of merchandise we accept and sell to the public.

 

Our regulatory obligations with the State of Kansas means our staff is current on all lending and law enforcement activities which helps deter fraud and theft in our communities. This allows our customers to borrow funds or purchase merchandise with complete confidence from our store.

 

We’re here to serve you so please stop by our store or contact us via the web.

The House of Stuart Story

The House of Stuart was established in 1969 by Gary and Karen Sturtridge to better serve the coin collector and investor. The business grew through a combination of national advertising in trade publications and attendance at an average of thirty coin conventions per year.  The House of Stuart has developed a reputation of honesty and professional integrity through dedicated effort to deliver value and quality in every sale.

We deal in bullion and rare coins.
