I know John Paul Sarosi, Coast To Coast, Skyline, Paul Sims, and Littleton are not not good. I just had a bad experience with Chesapeake Coin Co. Are there any other dealers out there you wouldn't go near with a 10 foot pole?   02-01-2009, 02:59 PM   #2 (permalink) Cloudsweeper99 Treasure Hunter     Join Date: May 2005 Posts: 5,764 The Morgan Mint is one I would add to your list because their prices are high.   02-01-2009, 03:00 PM   #3 (permalink) davidh soloist gnomic     Join Date: Jun 2008 Posts: 1,151 My Mood: Isn't it a bit excessive to bad-mouth certain dealers, without explaining why? Just because you may have had a bad experience with someone doesn't necessarily make them a "bad" dealer. On the other hand, if there is a repetitive pattern of over grading, over pricing, deceptive practices, bad attitude, etc., then tell us about it. __________________ Quote: Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with allpersons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly.

And several of them have been recommended around here. So I will just watch this thread. __________________ the other mark 2nd Annual CoinTalk Fundraiser: Official Thread!

My experience with 1 of the 3 on multiple occasions is that they sell AU sliders as BU, and cleaned coins as BU. Very few have original surfaces. Everything I have read about Littleton on this board and others is that they are pricey but honest, and their grading is accurate. I have no experience with Mr. Sarosi. Would you care to share your experience with Chesapeake Coin Co.? I'm not familiar with them.   02-01-2009, 05:52 PM   #7 (permalink) bqcoins You get what you pay for.     Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Nebraska/Iowa Posts: 5,244 My Mood: I have used coast to coast, Paul Sims, and skyline on different occasions and had good experiences. __________________ BQ Sometime Numismatic Consultant See my Bust Halves here: http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...albumview=grid See my Holey coins here:http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/f...albumview=grid   02-01-2009, 05:56 PM   #8 (permalink) FreakyGsMom Proud Mom of a YN     Join Date: Jan 2009 Posts: 180 My Mood: Crap I am logged in as my mom. __________________ ~ Missie ~ Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

No sense to talk bad how about some good talk. If you're looking to buy or sell check out coinbug.com or a GREAT SELLER is mesacoin.com. Jack is so helpful and great to buy from. HEHE possible sales pitch??
