<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 3123088, member: 17665"]On a similar note, please do not get me wrong or think I am implying they (Littleton) are dishonest. They are a reputable firm that has been in business since 1940's. They are simply way overpriced in everything they sell. Chalk up part of it to being so large, with a lot of overhead and a massive direct mail campaign. When I first started this hobby, I used them for buying many things. But I was very naïve at the time. It did not take long for me to find other alternatives. But that was also before the internet and living in a very rural area with no coin dealers and no way to get to ones 30 miles away. And they do grade their coins correctly but why would I want to pay $5.00 for a common date Buffalo nickel in very good condition. Or $30.00 for an American silver Eagle bullion coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
