Canadian Coin Association

Wade your comments are very annoying to me. They use false advertising and target the unknowing. Typically seniors! You have missed the point entirely! It is not coin collectors they are stealing from with misleading adds and blatant lies! If it were, then I could care less. I appraise coins for seniors for FREE and will not buy from them but I arrange for certain TRUSTING dealers to make offers and the (now educated)seniors make their own decisions armed with the appraisal. I am shaking my head in disbelief........

I immediately thought of the musical, "The Music Man." How true your words. This is an all time classic where the shyster was seen to have bettered himself by giving up his racket. And how much better a world it was for all of us when this was the overall attitude.

I know this thread is a bit old now, but I want to thank everyone for posting their info here. These guys are coming to my town and I had considered taking in a couple coins for them to look at but after reading this I know now to steer clear.

Thanks for saving me from a big mistake.

here is a link to a thread I started a while back about the same thing..

I buy "junk" silver all the time at 16x 18x face depending on where the market is. Next time these thugs come to My town, I will gladly "leach" off of them. Offering someone 4x what they would get from those crooks is a win/win for everyone.

*PAYING 18X FACE VALUE!*

I will make sure to be on public property but within eyes reach of everyone who goes in. See how they like that.

You don't have the "right" to commit fraud on people just because they have a legitimate business licence. That would be a licence to commit fraud. And since the RCMP basically turns their heads, it basically IS.

Having a market where the buyers' service is to buy from the public is OK. It is not OK when this business is being unethical and undercutting every legitimate business from doing the same and thus bringing prices DOWN for everyone. This is the very definition of being unethical. If you don't get it, what can I say, you can't fix stupid.

This information on these predators MUST go public. Ignorance is not an excuse, just because you "know more". The practice should be that a dealer should make an offer and back it up with experience, knowledge, and reputation, and if the seller doesn't like it they can go to their competitor who will tell them the exact same thing. It's illegal in Canada to fix prices in an industry, and it's unethical to undercut everybody else and destroy said industry.

Just got back from attempting to get my $1500 minimum pay-out for a solid 1 ounce .9999 gold coin.

I knew they were liars but didn't realize the extent they would go.

I was offered far less than the add advertises.

They came up with excuses like,well gold has dropped since the flyer came out. Gold has dropped,but it was still less than their advertised pay-out.

When I called the woman out on their scam targeting elder's and people with no knowledge of their valuable's,the woman claimed they were a top rated business with the better business bureau. Lol.

I told her they were not even registered at the BBB and they have no rating.

She then told me to "GET OUT"! Lol.

I told her they were nothing but Gypsy's who scam people out of their precious metal's and then blow town before people catch on.

I talked to someone else that had a few 67 Canada goose silver dollar's they were attempting to sell,he told me the Canadian Coin Association told him that he may as well just spend them. LOL!
