    I can't vouch for the company, but I can vouch that an "untrusted connection" message doesn't necessarily indicate an untrustworthy business. It just indicates that they need to find a better Web developer and/or host.

    Very poorly designed website. Did anyone else try to find "United States" in the country selector? Where is it?!?

    Whoever designed this site must have also designed the ObamaCare website.. Just ugly.

    They have one drop-down menu for US coins ("select denomination") and one for all others ("select country"). So it makes sense that the country list does not include the US.

    Their certificate expired in October 2013. On the other hand, at the bottom of the checkout page, there is a different "seal" (NS - Secure) which looks OK to me.

    If they want to have a successful online web site they do have some issues to deal with before anyone will have any confidence that they are safe and secure.
