Any good coin shops in Portland, OR?

I'll be up there next week and I might have an hour to pop in a coin shop if one is near (read: within walking distance) of my location:

It's too bad that you will be without transportation. Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood, Multnomah Falls, Bonneville Dam, aand Crown Point offer some beautiful sights.

I can't attest to the accuracy of this information. So, if you should consider visiting any of these locations, it might be best to call them, first.

Thanks, Chris. I'm hoping that the conference I'm at will afford me the chance to take some day trips in the van they're providing, but I don't know if I'll even have the time.

Michael,

 

Columbia Coin is the best, though it's probably been 6 years since I've been there. Norm Locke was the gentleman I always dealt with, he can seem a little gruff at first, but don't be put off, when you get to know him and his son as I did, they are great folks! And if you are looking for something in particular, always ask since not everything is in the display cases. When I was there, it was right downtown, though from the address above it might have moved, but regardless it's worth a trip.

Hmm, I am moving to Oregon soon and will check Columbia Coin out.

I have heard Portland is a fine place to dine and visit a coin shop.
