Has anyone brought from "Skyline" who advertises in Coin World? If so, good or bad experience?

How is that positive? I had so many laughs from those clowns at Coin Vault.
By the way, wasn't the guy who stabbed himself with a cheap sword a Coin Vault host?

Nick, Unfortunately those quarters you posted are dipped XF-AU's. You can tell because they have wear on the high points, and have no mint luster left.

I called them this morning to inquire about an 8-coin gold type set that was in their catalog. The person who answered the phone (I assume John Paul, himself) was a total jerk. Before he answered my question, he asked me, in a rather hostile tone "Who is this?". I told him my name and that I was a former customer. He became increasingly annoyed when I asked him to clarify the grade of the coins being offered (which were listed in the catalog as simply "uncirculated"). I said I seemed to have gotten off on the wrong foot with him. He replied that I was asking about things that were already explained in the ad. (anyone here think that all uncirculated coins are the same?).
I told him to forget it; that I would spend my $3,000+ somewhere else.

I flip to whatever shopping channel they are on during commercials. There's no mistaking the pitchmen. They gush on and on about spectacular rarities availible exclusively through their store. Sometimes they do hawk nice coins but they are so overpriced it's comical.

Denis | There is something to be said for learning how they sell. They were very good at pitching the material and they sold coins, perhaps more than most of the dealers here.
