They are a legit site. They use a third party to grade coins for them. The coins I bought from them were all graded by ICCS.

I buy quite a few coins from them, the only thing I find is there charges on postage is a bit high.  Other than that, their delivery time is good and there prices aren't too bad.  Edited by SHAFTA9a

 Colonial Acres is one of the most trusted and high performance dealers in Canada. Personally my only complaint is their really SLOW delivery of items won on E-bay! However, outside of that, they have awesome coins at reasonable prices along with reasonable shipping costs! BUY, BUY, BUY, you won't be disappointed. I have no legitimate beef with 'em and consider them highly recommended. P.S.: My last two purchases from C.A. were an I.C.C.S., 1858, Large Date nickel, AU-50 and an I.C.C.S., 1947, quarter, MS-65. Very pleased with both transactions. Glenn  |

I agree => colonial acres delivers exactly what they advertise (my only comment is that they pretty much follow the Charlton catalogue for all of their prices, so you're gonna be buying a coin "at retail", rather than searching around on auctions and sniping it for a better price) ...
but again => you're gonna get exactly what they're listing (it's like a low risk, but low profit transaction)
=> probably 1/2 of my earlier stuff was purchased from Colonial Acres (until I caught the auction-bug, I bought everything from them)

They are one of the better coin dealers in Canada.
A little slow and a bit pricey on shipping though.

Ive bought from them many times, Good service. Acept one time they tottaly forgot my order  and didnt ship it untill 2 weeks after I placed it. But what I really like from is that they have there "blowout" specials... they usually have some good deals in there. |

I've bought all my supplies from them and quite a few coins. Easy ordering and payment. Delivery time was reasonable. I have no concerns about buying from them.

Ten dollars of order on ten proof like coins, charged six dollars of shipping. I made just no profit buying the blowout items.

I believe Colonial charges a flat rate of 6$ for Canadian shipping unless you select priority shipping so if you have a large order its great but if you only have a few items depending on the value can be a bit high

I have never ordered from Colonial.But I like a lot of what they have to offer.One day I'm sure they will be hearing from me. I believe their pricing is quite reasonable too! SHIPPING?
