http://www.typecoins.com/ He has an ad on Coinworld home page; has some wonderful pieces that catch my eye. Some commentary, pics of nearly everything (none of this sight unseen stuff)... Anyone do business with him? Thanks.
Yes I have purchased a coin from Dr. Bruder. It was a 1876-S Trade Dollar that he graded a VF-30. I sent it in to be slabbed and it came back XF-40. I must admit I was a little nervous after making the purchase knowing that I should have bought a trade dollar slabbed but he was recommended on another coin forum. Also he guarentees all his coins to be authentic. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again. Hope this helps you.
I've purchased from Gene many times over the years and yes, his stuff can be pricey but he's a knowledgeable numismatist whose opinions I trust.
Yes, I've done much biz with Gene and highly recommend him. Great guy, friendly, ethical, knowledgeable.
Thanks for the opinions everyone. Pricey...? I don't buy solely based on price; I tried going "cheap" and looking for "deals" and didn't like what I found. I'm looking for a Numismatist I can develop a relationship of trust and integrity.
