We went there and were very displeased with the level of service so i decided to do a little digging int o the company and found the above article from 2000 about the owner of the company.

Do your research before dealing with a company rather than after and finding out you were taken for some $$$.

Here is the full article:

FAIRFIELD — Who is Jon Saylor? That was a question Fairfield City Councilman Jeff Holtegel asked a year ago, when Mr. Saylor was a little-known council wannabe. And it's a question still being posed today as a voter-fraud scandal pushes the enigmatic 27-year-old into a harsh spotlight.

“I've gotten the impression that he's a loner and kind of an oddball,” said Mr. Holtegel. “We really don't know much about him. ... He won't even give other council members his home phone number.”

In a 68-count indictment, Mr. Saylor is accused of creating sham voters and falsifying absentee ballots. About a dozen questionable ballots were cast in the November election he won by more than 100 votes, officials have said.

Mr. Saylor's allies see him as a political outsider under unfair attack by the established guard. But some in Fairfield think the allega tions of misconduct point to problems in the election system.

“I know in my heart — 100 percent — he didn't do it (commit voter fraud). That's because I've known Jon for three years,” said Jaimy Bidinger, 29, of Clifton. “Why would he do such a thing? He has no reason to.”

However, Fairfield Councilman Sterling Uhler commented: “Having been on council for 24 years, I'm kind of a student of governance, and there are two aspects of this situation that really bother me. I wish voters had been more educated about the candidates .. and I'm surprised that our election processes can be defrauded so easily by an amateur.”

Bob Mosketti, Butler County Board of Elections director, said his office's probe of Mr. Saylor prompted him to ask the Ohio Association of Election Officials to consider tightening election laws. One possible solution: requiring photo IDs for registration and/or voting, which has been tried in some U.S. states, he said.

After Butler County Sheriff's deputies had spent nearly three days on a highly publicized search for him after his indictment, Richard K. Jones, chief deputy, said Mr. Saylor told him: “I didn't know you were looking for me.”

“He makes a mockery out of it. He thinks it's humorous. .. It was like he was in another land somewhere,” Col. Jones said. “I think he's a ding-dong.”

The 6-foot-1, 180-pound man “stuck out his chest” when he was led from the county jail and news crews gathered around, Col. Jones said. “It seemed to me he liked having his picture taken. He liked the attention.”

Mr. Saylor's bond was originally set at $150,000, but was reduced to $50,000, leading to his release Tuesday. His trial is set for Sept. 25.

Mr. Saylor and his parents have repeatedly declined to

comment, on advice of Peter Swenty, a Cincinnati lawyer and prominent Mount Adams Democrat who has handled a number of Hamilton County Board of Elections cases. Mr. Swenty did not return a call seeking comment.

When Mr. Saylor announced his council candidacy in this upper-middle-class city of about 45,000 last year, he seemed to come from nowhere. But this political unknown launched a vigorous campaign under a slogan that now seems ironic: “A Dream that Works for Fairfield.”

Signs bearing Mr. Saylor's name sprouted like dandelions, and in November he defeated First Ward council opponent Michael D. Snyder by a 10-percent margin.

Mr. Snyder, 55, calls the alleged vote-fraud “abhorrent, repellent, repugnant, vile ... you sort of run out of adjectives.”

On top of the indictment, Mr. Saylor faces a June 8 Ohio Elections Commission hearing. It will address Mr. Snyder's claims that Mr. Saylor's campaign materials misrepresented his college degree, his political supporters, business affiliation and community activities.

“Virtually everything was totally false, or right on the edge,” Mr. Snyder said. “We are dealing with a rogue politician who has absolutely no idea of the gravity of the process he has defiled, and I think we will find out that he intentionally corrupted and defiled it.”

Brian McEntire, who describes himself as Mr. Saylor's best friend, says the allegations don't mesh with his image of the brown-haired, hazel-eyed man he has known since grade school.

“I just can't imagine that Jon would jeopardize his entire future on trying to fix an election. He's an intelligent man. He's an educated man,” he said. “I can't imagine he would've taken that kind of risk.”

Mr. Saylor is a 1991 graduate of Fairfield High School. In 1994, he received an associate's degree in general studies from the University of Cincinnati (his campaign literature claimed it was in criminal justice). He also took more courses at Miami University, and used to run several food-vending carts in downtown Cincinnati.

Mr. McEntire, who said he owns Riddle Road Market in Clifton, said Mr. Saylor occasionally works there. Mr. Saylor asked to have his City Council mail sent to an apartment across the street from the market. Council refused.

Mr. Saylor and Cynthia McCloud, 42, are parents of a 2-year-old girl. Ms. McCloud, who also faces three voter-fraud charges, was released from jail Thursday.

They have listed several addresses of residence, including his parents' on Barkley Court in Fairfield. Mr. Mosketti, the elections director, said it's hard to tell whether Mr. Saylor was legitimately residing in the First Ward when he was elected to represent the area.

Being involved in politics, Mr. McEntire said, is something Mr. Saylor has said he wanted to do since they were teens; Mr. Saylor has said his ultimate goal was to become a U.S. Senator.

Kassie Kanigoski, 27, of Mount Adams, remembers Mr. Saylor expressing even higher aspirations.

“In ninth grade, he was talking about being the President of the United States,” she said. “And I laughed at him. He was kind of a geek.”

Ms. Kanigoski said she and Mr. Saylor have maintained their friendship. She minimizes the voter-fraud scandal: “Yes, he did something wrong. But it wasn't like he murdered anyone ... I think people went out of their way to run him out (of politics).”

Another ex-classmate, Doug Lee, describes Mr. Saylor as the class clown who “didn't take anything that seriously.” That's why Mr. Lee said he and other former classmates were shocked when they heard Mr. Saylor was seeking political office.

Johnny Mac Brown, leader of a group calling itself Concerned Citizens of Fairfield, said the citizens stand ready to mount a recall election against Mr. Saylor. The process cannot begin until July 1, after Mr. Saylor has served six months on council.

“Jon Saylor sold everyone on the image that he was a young genius, running several businesses simultaneously, living in three different places — and it was all bunk,” said Mr. Brown, whose group collected more than 450 signatures seeking Mr. Saylor's resignation.

“Now we have to ask: How did this happen? How did we let our guard down to the point where someone can do this? And why hasn't someone done something to correct it?”

Wow unreal what tactics js gold will use for advertising they have now created a new web site called goldandcoincincinnati this site is owned and operated by them aside from their own website to give people the impression this is a site reviewing all gold places when it isn't. All of the reviews on there for js gold are great and they are wrote by js gold. Try going to this site and writing a bad review and see if it shows up. It will not.

Then they claim the fox news story showed how they stacked up against other competitors. They were never checked out undercover like the other places. Fox just took their word that is what they pay for items, and of course they have a huge advertising contract with fox. The other stores did not know they were being filmed but js gold did. What is fair about that. If they went in there undercover I doubt they would have made half the offer they did on the items, because they do not pay best. The rare coin galleries in Hyde Park, Milford, and Florence pay more and so does American Gold Buyers, and American Trading Company. The way Jon Saylor stuttered through the interview should show you how little he really knows.

This is a shady place owned by a felon Jon Saylor convicted many times of fraud. He is opening stores all over town, because of all the money he has made paying people far less then their items were really worth. Don't be *** and give him your items too.

What a shady scammy place. They have set up several web sites under their name and other names such as goldandcoincincinnati and posted nothing but good reviews about themselves.

Check it out no bad or neutral reviews on these sites cause they are owned by shady js gold. There will be 50 reviews in one day then none for a month on these sites. You need to look at the reviews on reliable sites like this one and yahoo. This place is a scam place.

They know nothing about coins, diamonds, or what is valuable they are looking to melt something for a quick buck.

Take your items to a long standing jeweler, real coin store, or antique dealer don't lose out on hundred or thousands of dollars. You will lose money if you go to js gold.

I went to JS Gold and Coin expecting to receive resaonable offers on my jewelry and coins. What I discovered was a store full of people with little or no knowledge on jewelry or coins.

Out of three stores I tried in the area they offered the lowest and also had the employees with the least amount of knowledge. The lady on their commercials who I think is the manager of the store was extremely rude.

She was the short, heavy woman with long dark hair. I can not think of one single reason to tell anyone to waste their time going to JS Gold in Kenwood, West Chester, or Florence.

This company is constantly advertising they are "experts" that pay the highest price in town.. Well I went there with some very valuable items and I can assure everyone in the community they are nothing but incompetent thiefs at best.

The Kenwood store where I went was staffed with people who would be more at home at a carnival than a coin shop. I was told my gold coins were "fake" and worth $2,100 and my jewelry worth $600.

I ended up selling at a reputable business across town for $12,305.00 and 945.00 respectively. Go here if you want to be treated bad and scammed!!!

I took my jewelry to JS Coin in Westchester and received much much more money than anyone else in town, they were professional and courteous,and told me the truth about what I had where other dealers tried to rip me off. Honesty and Integrity is what I found there; perhaps you are the problem..

not them I have been back several times and sent friends and family!! You Rock!! JS Coin --- I hope everyone that reads this shops around before giving away their gold because I did...and I wish I had not wasted all that time and gas.

They paid the BEST!! and were super nice!!!

JS Gold had an article in the online Cincinnati Enquirer saying they paid 85% to 95% of the price of gold. I have copies of this article.

I went there to sell items which were really nice 2 diamond rings and a gold rope chain, all undamaged items expecting they should bring 95% only to discover they don't even pay close to 85% on anything. They offered around 60%. They want to take your items you bought from the jewelry stores and make 38% on them, because the refinery only charges them around 2%. How greedy can you get.

I tried calling before I went there to get prices, but they gave me some ricidulous story about they can't quote because of plumb law, which is that some gold can be only 13.5K instead of 14K. Well I talked to three other stores and they told me there is no test that a store can do to determine if an item is 13.5k or 14k and that this is just a scam by JS. They said they all pay for it as 14K. I should have listened and never went there, but since it was an article by the enquirer I thought it to be true.

I also really did not feel safe there. The store is very open and everyone could see what the other customers had and what they were getting paid. No privacy at all.

Thanks for wasting my time js gold.
