I have been purchasing coins off eBay and from the US mint. I have seen a show on TV called "the coin vault." Is this a legit place to purchase coins??
Welcome to cointalk! No I recommend staying away from coinvault. Take your time there are better places to get better coins.
Avoid at all costs the coin vault and HSN.....just t.v propaganda coin shows That are very over priced!!
What I saw the other night didn't seem overpriced. 2 2010 rolls of Lincoln cents. 1 p and 1 d + a certified and graded d for 39.95. It would cost almost that much just to have 1 coin certified......+ I can't find these coins from the US mint. Do these coin vault people just buy up everything or what???
TC is probably Topcat Coins initials and you are paying $40 not including shipping and handling for $1.01 worth of coins and it only cost $14 to slab a modern at PCGS the top grader and if you do it in bulk it is only $10 per coin. Soooo You pay $40 + S&H for $11.01 worth of product hmmm not good and still not good if they offered it for $20,, a complete rip off.
TC was for his signature...Top Cat lol And Coin Vault is fine if you like overpaying for coins and getting stuff that isn't really that collectible. About the 2010 cents... You can get them from the bank. And in bulk grading it's way cheaper then 40bucks. But it's your collection not ours collect what you want but Coin Vault is one of the most over priced out there even over most ebay auctions. Take a MS 64 Morgan for instance. It's graded and a pretty good grade. There are only a few million made not billions, it's silver oh yea and it's not just been made this year but over 100 years ago. Which would you think is worth the $40 bucks. Coin Vault is good at marketing and people fall for it all the time thats why they are there. Stick around here and you'll learn alot.

Thanks everyone for the info. It's going to be ok! I have not purchased anything from Coin Vault. Just eBay and the US mint. oh ya, I made a small purchase @ a local pawn shop.
