They closed down because the owner, Adrian Crane, decided to retire and move to Costa Rica. His return from Costa Rica and the story that accompanied it on the NGC forum left me feeling that he was a very bizarre individual. They did sell many of their coins for moon money but in my experience, their prices for rainbow toned material was no higher than anyone else in that niche of the market including Island Coins, DeFalco Numismatics, and even more mainstream dealers like Legend Numismatics. Take a look a Legend's current offerings from the Bryan Sonnier collection. Don't get me wrong, the coins are nice, but that is moon money. When they first closed up shop I was a little upset because I was a regular customer. After a while I began to realize that many of the times I was being outbid on Heritage auction lots it was by Anaconda who would in turn make me pay full retail if I wanted the coin.[/QUOTE]
