<p>[QUOTE="miedbe7, post: 1558870, member: 33919"]Yea, stay away from these guys. I bought a 1921 Peace Dollar Choice AU (supposedly) from them almost a year ago and the first one I got was XF-40 at BEST but that was not taking into account the HUGE rim ding at 2-3pm on the obverse. If it had been sold to me as a net VF-30 I would've been more than happy. Anyways, instead of getting a refund, I asked them for an appropriate replacement. Bad move. Well, this was when I knew nothing much about cleaned coins and what to look for, so the one I get looks AU, has a great strike and is nice and shiny. Then, after my return privilege of only 7 days expires do I realize that I'd been had and I keep it as a reminder of how not to spend $165. So the coin I have now could rightly be graded AU details, but not a Choice AU problem-free peace dollar that it was advertised to be and that I was reassured over the phone that I'd be receiving.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I ordered a 20th anniversary ASE set from them before the peace dollar fiasco, and they charged me twice for it. The set was purchased through layaway so I obviously didn't have enough to afford two sets. At the time of fulfillment, the layaway and the shipping departments must've gotten something confused and charged me my final layaway payment but then also charged me as if I was buying it outright at the same time. So they drained my bank account of about $350 I didn't have, and thankfully I had enough emergency cash to cover it because it took them about a week to credit my money back. That could be understood as a mistake though at best. The peace dollar nonsense is why I will never buy from them again, unless they start selling silver below spot or something.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
