    Hey all,

    I am in the market for a couple more coins for my collection. I was thinking of purchasing from Carat-Coin-Collectibles. Do any of you have any past experience or opinions of this place? It sure would be nice to get some opinions before placing the order!! :)

    Here is a link to their website:

    Thanks,
    Jake

    Are you talking about customer service, or their prices?

    Thanks for making me be a little clearer Phoenix:

    What I would like to know is how is their accuracy in grading and description of condition (ie cleaning, scratches, etc.)?

    Your welcome. I've never bought from them, so I don't know. One thing that has me cautious is they don't show pics. That is the only thing. I like to see what a coin looks like before I buy. They might be a good company, I just don't know. That's why I'm not saying anything either way. Someone else on here will be able to help better than me. Good luck. :thumb:

    Personally I've never heard of them, but that doesn't mean anything. But I wouldn't buy from any web site that doesn't at least have pics of the coins, especially if I'd never heard of them and didn't have a trusted referrence. There are just to many others out there.

    What exactly is it you are looking for ? I'm sure bwteeen all of us we can make several recommendations.

    First thanks for the heads up about the pictures, and second I am looking for a couple of things:

    I would like a VF (ish) 1857 flying eagle cent and an 1858 LL VF flying eagle cent for my Dansco album.

    Let me know if you have any recommened dealers!

    Thanks,
    Jake

    He's a pretty good dealer from what I've heard and seen. Doesn't have bad prices either. Do you know him GD?
