<p>[QUOTE="sgiorgis, post: 1006674, member: 22657"]I see many post’s regarding Littleton, only a few, seem to have any positive points. I would like to point out some positives. First of all I have been a collector since my childhood in the 60’s just when Clad started to replace actual silver coins. I still have every single coin I ran across, with the exception of giving coins as gifts to new collectors. I would be classified a collector FIRST, investor second. Now to my offering of this debate… Littleton is a fine company. Their product and Customer Service is TOP NOTCH. You do not become a Major Company, especially in this economy being anything but.</p><p>First, is Littleton expensive? ABSOLUTELY. I would say about Twice as expensive for coin when compared to current price listings. Are they correctly graded? Again I would say ABSOLUTELY! I have found their grading to be very fair, and have only read very few posts here criticizing their grading. Now that being said, a couple of things that Littleton does, not mentioned in prior posts, offer for customers to complete their series. If you join one of their clubs (Franklin Halves, Morgan Dollars, etc.) after your 3rd or 4th shipment, Littleton sends you a deluxe coin album with your approval coins for free. Not their Intercept, top of the line album, but a very decent three ring binder that is easily Whitman or Dansco quality. Next, with every order, Littleton awards Profit Shares that are redeemable for supplies and other coins. Also about the colorized coins and spurious coin sets that Littleton offers, I feel that they are offering products of interest for those customers that want them. Littleton also has a customer friendly return policy; they want their customers to come back. To sum up….. Expensive? Heck yes. But I felt that a whole picture needed to be presented to be fair and balanced! Good Day to All!! Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
