<p>[QUOTE="marbury518, post: 1237350, member: 24506"]I hear you. As you said I have had many problems with the UK border agency being difficult but I do still buy from US and Canadian dealers. I am after an expensive coin, probably to flip actually, birds over junk, some are slabbed and one or two others not. The auction is in Hong Kong and the dealer will ship back to UK so I avoid import duties. Baldwins has a super rep and they seem to know their stuff more than other Auction Houses but as as you say, I wouldn't want to buy a raw birds over junk for say 3,000 bucks and get a nasty result from a TPG. Old fashioned greed plays a part in that I have bought a fatman dollar, raw, no picture for £130 from a Spanish dealer.......it arrived and it came back from PCGS MS62...sold for £450. ................I guess I'll bid on the slabbed birds over junk as the stakes will be too high on this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
