<p>[QUOTE="Billy1793, post: 616097, member: 11855"]I mentioned your post to one of the newer owners, Mark Thomas. He looked up your invoice and as far as he could tell, they sent you a more valuable gold coin for the same price, and strictly for your approval. He stated that at the time, their Foreign Coin Export had undergone surgery and they were doing their best to fill in for him, which might also explain the delay in your refund. Under postal regulations, merchants are allowed up to six weeks to refund money, and even longer for sick leave or other disasters. I'm sure if you try them again these days, you would have better experience, as I've been dealing with CollectorsInternet for many years, both buying and selling and always got fair prices both off. My type set I bought from them for $60,000 in 2001 was auction off by the Beverly Hills Coin Club for $184,587 in 2008, a three-fold increase and just in time, before the big stock market crash last October. The Coin Club has a free service for members, where a trustee will show your collection to their "top 10 buyers" and get the highest bids from their members. The club gets a 5% "finder's fee" from the highest bidders which goes to their youth programs, so they don't charge anything to the seller. It takes about 30 days to get all the bids in, but it's well worth it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
