[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 4010969, member: 26302"]Very nice coin OP. Nearly full crest on a Starr piece is always exciting. Unfortunately, it is extremely common to lose the tip of Athena's nose on full crest pieces. I just had a weird run-in with Stacks. I was going to bid on their bullion auction, went to place a bid and was told I couldn't because I didn't have $25k credit with them. I emailed them and they told me I had to fill out this form with SSN, personal guarantee signature, employment history, yada yada. I explained my credit limit was fine, just looking to buy a few ounces of AU/PT at a time, and was uncomfortable filling all of this stuff out. They basically said tough, unless I fill out their forms for $25k credit limit, I could not bid. I told them I guess I am just not a customer for you, and will spend money at CNG, NN, HA, Roma, as well as local dealers instead. It was weird, never had anything like that. THEY keep the coins until funds clear, and was only going to bid maybe $6k. Why would they need such info? I gave them references of firms I have bought from for 15 years, as much as I wanted to buy from Stacks..... Btw, here is a piece I just picked up.[/QUOTE]
