<p>[QUOTE="goldcollector, post: 288154, member: 9088"]Well I bought a 1909 O quarter from letchworth coins at <a href="http://www.letcoin.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.letcoin.com" rel="nofollow">www.letcoin.com</a>. I paid $39 plus $5.99 for shipping/insurance etc. When I get the package its a 1909 D quarter so I emailed them several times with no response, then I sent the coin back and waited and waited. Then I paid to call them 2000 miles away on a number that was not a 1-800 but a call I paid for. They said they were sending a refund, it was all their fault and all that. So I get the refund check and its for $39. Their website does say that refunds are less shipping but this was their mistake not a situation of buyers remorse. I even told them instead of the refund I would take the 1909 O but they didnt have it, so clearly I wasnt just looking to backout. To make it worse, my coin was sent to me through regular US mail with 2 forever stamps on it. I got it in my mailbox, no insurance, not certified mail. Nothing. So I paid them $5.99 shipping on an item that cost them 82 cents to mail and they still hold the shipping ??? It was their mistake. So their mistake ended up costing me about $25 because I paid for a money order, the $5.99 shipping they charged, the phone call, and my cost to send it back. Their mistake cost me $25 and they made a profit off of their mistake. Never would I buy from them again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
