[QUOTE="clembo, post: 467019, member: 8033"]Stainless, First mistake. You traded $40 worth of coins for an album that lists at $40 from Littleton? Littleton is overpriced to begin with so you're already losing. Second mistake. You expected an informed answer. Do you know how BIG Littleton is? Good chance you were just talking to someone that has very little knowledge of coins or proper storage. You know, like reading it off a computer screen. How else would they know the product so fast? Littleton is Littleton my man. They spend huge amounts of money on advertising and I would surmise have a huge base of employees. Good for them. Now do you think they're paying "top dollar" to all of those employees for their vast knowledge? I sincerely doubt it. Years ago I bought the "limit" of Silver Eagles from them because, hey they WERE cheap (magazine add). Then I got the "on approval" routine. They sent me a different Silver Eagle that was grades as MS63 and WAY over priced. Properly graded I'm sure but my question to them was what roll of Silver Eagles have you ever seen that DIDN'T contain at least MS63 coins? Got my cheapies and they never bothered me again. I will give Littleton credit on one thing. They do tend to grade properly. They also pay top dollar when they are looking for something. What they are looking for will be in the next "set" offered in a magazine or Sunday paper supplement. We buy stuff at the shop. Occasionally it's in Littleton holders. We buy it for way less than someone paid for it. Guess what happens 99% of the time. We cut it out and throw the holder away. Bottom line here my friend is that Littleton did not rip you off.
