Littleton Coin Opinions?

I, too, once bought coins from Littleton's "Coins On Approval" system - until the packages became very expensive. I contacted Littleton, and requested they remove me from their "On Approval" program. No problem - except the coins kept on coming in the mail, and, being coins, I just HAD to look at them. That became an expensive "look" because I had to pay return postage.

My mailman advised me that, if I didn't want a specific letter or package, to write refused on the front of it, and send it back - unopened of course. Took a couple of returned envelopes, but they DID quit sending me coins on approval.

My opinion: Littleton does have nice coins, and their staff is pretty much "on the money" when it comes to grading. My only complaint would be in the pricing department. I believe, if they reduced their prices, they'd sell more, but, then, they've been in business for alot of years, so.....

my uncle got one shipment from their coins on approval deal. he wasnt very happy with his shipment either.
i didnt see them but he said they were expensive for what they were.

I dealt with them Pre Internet days, there was not as many dealers available then. I did Coins on Approval, I thought the prices were a little high but the grading in Circ grades was good. In those days getting coins in the mail and sending a check was the easy way to do it. Now with the Net and everyone making money with it it's a whole differnt story.
