I have done a lot with GovMint, not much anymore. The products and customer service have always been top notch and wouldn't hesitate to do business with them again.
My only beef ( and it is not really a beef, business is business ) is that over the last year, they seemed to have transformed from Provident Metals ... et al to The Coin Vault. I used to get some of my yearly updates and some specialty coins from them. The last coin I got was the first in the Canadian GITD Dino series for $39.95 when ebay and everyone else was getting $80 to $100. A good place with reasonable prices. The all of a sudden my email alerts sounded like the Home Shopping Network, " get it now, before it is too late " " these are all sold out at the mint " " you may never see these coins again " Semi common date morgans for $129.00, MS70 eagles for $139.00 They went from a reasonable place to get coins that you missed from the mint to hypesters of over priced coins.
But if you find something you wanted at a price you can live with, I have never had a bad transaction with them.
