I may have done business with you--if so you struck me as unusually honest. Thanks for the info.
Probably a lot smarter. The elusive MS $1 to $5 gold is not worth the risk usually unless you can buy it right. The coin dealers are usually...

And if you buy raw $2 1/2 Indians at shows for around $300 thinking that they "look" mintstate, good luck. I have tried doing that too. Grading...
That is all true. I have sent uncertified $20s to a major wholesaler. A few of the coins were cleaned, so the company assumed guilt by...
So you were thinking that they would try to resell the coin instead of honoring the bidder's rights? Heritage may own more numismatic gold than...

The heavy advertisers like Skyline are mixed bags. Many of them have loss leaders designed to bring in new customers, or other offerings where...
