I purchased and paid for a couple of Jeff nickels from them in mid January. I have still not received the coins and when I emailed them yesterday to inquire about where my order was the email was returned because their inbox was full... www.IslandCoins.com Anyone know the owner of have any info on them ? Thanks....
I bought a coin from them at the Vienna, VA, coin show in December. Unfortunately once I log a coin into my inventory I toss the receipt. But I see an e-mail address: islandcoins@aol.com With the recent snows they maybe be sitting it out somewhere.
I called yesterday... left a message but no response. I have bought from him in the past and never had a problem. The interesting thing is that the coins I purchased 30 days ago still show on the site as for sale when he usually marks them as sold within a day or 2.
okay, folks. Sad news. Gary, the owner of Island coins died. He was only about 46, but had heart problems. I just learned about it this morning at the Melville Coin show. I have known Gary for about 20 years and he was a great guy, with a great sense of humor. I will miss him. As for your order, I haven't heard what his family is doing, his death was sudden, and (obviously) unexpected. Frank
Very sad indeed. He obviously put a lot of time and effort into the business--I really enjoyed looking at the incredible selection of amazingly toned coins on the website.
