Ordering from them is like rolling the dice. I&#039;m a bit surprised they can still advertise the way they do.</p><p><br /></p><p>My experience with them:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) They have a real broad hodge-podge of quality. Sometimes I&#039;ll get a decent coin and sometimes I&#039;ll get cleaned sliders sold as BU. I know this because I&#039;ve sent some of their coins in for grading. Some get decent grades (typically 62, but once I actually got a 64 Peace dollar).&nbsp; But I&#039;ve also gotten AU58 cleaned that was sold as BU or other problem coins. The strangest one I got was a Peace dollar with filed rims! Are you kidding? Filed rims? I&#039;ve never heard of that before.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) They usually are good about taking returns, but once I returned a cleaned coin to get a coin with grafitti on it. When I returned that, I just got a refund check back.</p><p><br /></p><p>3) When I get a decent coin, I try to stick with that dealer. But to my chagrin, my next order is a problem coin. So there&#039;s inconsistency in the quality.</p><p><br /></p><p>4) Because of my experiences, I never order BU coins from them anymore. I only get mint products or nice circulated grades. IMHO, I think it&#039;s a better deal to get a roll of circulated Morgans in Fine to VF condition than the BU (supposedly) offers.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the bottom line is to be smart and return anything that is unacceptable. But to be fair, sometimes you do get good coins. I ordered a pair of Mexican pesos last month that were frosty and clearly uncirculated, so they can sell good stuff. As always, buyer beware.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck to all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
