<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jody526, post: 18608, member: 578&quot;]I think that&#039;s a very wise decision.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Never be afraid to ask for advice about things you are unsure of. Regardless of what others may tell you, there is no danger in asking for other people&#039;s opinions. I&#039;ve done it countless times, and I&#039;m sure glad I did.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just looking through Littleton&#039;s US coins for sale, I made a few observations. I noticed they have a deal, where you can buy two different date Flying Eagle cents, which will not grade &quot;Good&quot;, and which may or may not have readable dates, for $59.95 plus $4.75 S&amp;H. So, that would be a total cost of about $32 each. Now Flying Eagle cents, in AG-3 condition, can be purchased for about $10 each. So I would think that not buying from this company is a reasonable decison.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some other deals I noticed they had were:</p><p><br /></p><p>1864 2 cent piece in Extra Fine condition for $85.00 + $4.75 S&amp;H</p><p>That coin can be purchased for about $35 all day long.</p><p><br /></p><p>1865 2 cent piece in Very Fine condition for $72.00 + $4.75 S&amp;H</p><p>That&#039;s a coin that you can easily buy for $25.</p><p><br /></p><p>1939-D Jefferson nickel MS-60 for $155.00 + $4.75 S&amp;H</p><p>That&#039;s more than you would pay for an MS-66 in a PCGS slab!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>1950-D Jefferson nickel MS-60 for $49.50 + $4.75 S&amp;H</p><p>That&#039;s more than three times what the coin is worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>1941-S Washington quarter MS-60 for $127.00 + $4.75 S&amp;H</p><p>You can buy this coin from other nationally recognized dealers for about $20.00</p><p><br /></p><p>1986 Silver Eagle Unc. for $37.00 + $4.75 S&amp;H</p><p>That&#039;s about a $15 item.</p><p><br /></p><p>1986-S Silver Eagle PR-63 for $64.50 + $4.75 S&amp;H</p><p>That&#039;s about double what it&#039;s worth</p><p><br /></p><p>1988-S Silver Eagle PR-63 for $127.50 + $4.74 S&amp;H</p><p>Again, nearly twice what it&#039;s worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>This list could go on and on, with unbelivable prices, but there&#039;s really no point.</p><p>It&#039;s obvious that anyone with a telephone and a coin magazine, can find a way to avoid these rip-off artists.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I was lucky enough to have never gotten involved with these people, but I have talked to several who did. Almost every one described their coins as &quot;over-priced&quot; and &quot;over-graded&quot;, and these folks have been collecting coins for many years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I have also talked to a few dealers, who supply Littleton with coins for there inventory. In interest of fairness, Littleton&#039;s suppliers say that they sell quality material, and have to charge more because of overhead.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Jody[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
