<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jbbphoto, post: 930508, member: 16860&quot;]<b>Goldline</b></p><p><br /></p><p>As an investor and collector, I would never buy from them. Their prices are way above the market and they charge a 1% buyback fee when you liquidate. You shouldn&#039;t have to pay for a buyback fee. They ship out coins in 3-4 weeks which is ridiculous! Other dealers ship out in 1-5 days. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you&#039;re a collector then don&#039;t count on a Goldline rep to know much about coins. They will push Swiss Francs, French Roosters, Austrian Ducats or some kind of European coin that they say is numismatic when it&#039;s just bullion. Fear tactics like confiscation and tax reporting is another thing you&#039;ll hear. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you plan to buy bullion, don&#039;t be surprised if you wind up talking to another rep who will try to convince you to buy European Coins. Besides, their margins are too high for bullion. You shouldn&#039;t pay more than 6.5% over spot for bullion. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With Double Eagles like $20 Saints and $20 Libs, right now mS64 Saints are around $1900. If you call Gold line I bet they&#039;re charging over $2100, maybe even more. MS62 $20 Libs are around $1700. I bet they don&#039;t even carry Libs at Goldline and I guarantee the account rep couldn&#039;t tell you what the common dates are for Saints and Libs. (Generally common date Saints 1924 &amp; 1927, Libs 1904). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are a few things you should expect from a dealer: </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Can they tell you the population report of a certified coin, mainly from PCGS and NGC?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Can they describe the coin to you? In other words are the coins in front of them? (bullion &amp; generic dates are an exception to this)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Is the dealer looking out for your best interest or their own? </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>How many options of liquidation does your dealer offer? Outright buy, trades, and auction consignment should be your choices.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What is the dealer&#039;s return policy? Usually 7 days is standard on certified coins. (bullion is usually a final sale)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hope this information helps and good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
