I am interested in buying an inexpensive item--just wondered if anyone has dealt with them before?

Many thanks!!

Nooooo!

That is to say .. I've never bought from them. But they seem like .. a very commercial venture. And their prices ..

Well, maybe tell me what it is you were interested and I will see if I can find another cheaper, OK?

I suspect you can find better value elsewhere.

I say this because of the 4 coins I looked at; a styca, a George I crown, a George 1 shilling - all mentioned a range of grades rather than the specific grade for the item pictured. I think their prices are a good bit higher than market price, the styca substantially so.

Their 1944 George VI Penny - no condition specified, it looks like it came from circulation - they're asking £4, I would be delighted to get 25p for one in the same condition.


One medal caught my eye - "NAVAL GENERAL SERVICE MEDAL WITH TRAFALGAR BAR 1793-1840" - nothing in the title to show it's a replica, though they do say in the description that it's a repro.

Thanks for the heads up--actually a 2001 Somalia 250 Shillings like my Avatar (at least the obverse)--I looked for the silver one on ebay forever--never came up while I was active--this vendor seems a bit high (20 pounds) but not too bad based on the only silver one on auction I remember--plenty of the copper nickel ones around (they are 25 shillings, I think). Told you it was not anything really expensive.

I am off ebay now so was just looking for other sources.

Looks like they are out to snag the gullible.
If you are a true collector avoid.If you want a couple of 3d's to put in the Xmas pud OK.
