<p>[QUOTE="jhinton, post: 946520, member: 24410"]<font face="Tahoma">I see your point but not sure if I agree with you. From my limited knowledge of Littleton, it seems they target the elderly and the new collectors. You can't tell me they don't know that the colorized and "special sets" they sell are crap. They take advantage of people. Sure nobody forces them to buy it, but people expect a certain kind of integrity and fairness when they buy or sell something. Not only is this a problem with the big advertisers but the fact that not many people speak out against it still shocks me. David Bowers talks about what a good company Littleton is in a couple of books of his, the Littleton President gets interviewed by PCGS and posted on their website, and every magazine allows them to advertize. It’s no wonder people trust them and therefore pay ridicules prices for their coins. I personally see this as detrimental to the hobby and just as bad as the coin doctors and the fakes.</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
