Well, with a statistical sample of only the one coin I bought from them, I'd say pretty darn good. Compare the photos in the link I provided above with the following ones I took of the coin: If anything, I'd say they are much better at photographing proof coins than I am.

I have found that to be true of dealers who do not specialize in a particular series. Many of them even do it. They pay non variety prices and then sell the coin priced at what the market will bear for that variety. It is not right but that is what they do. Report this Post to the Staff
cipster Pillar of the Community United States 2364 Posts	Posted 02/16/2015 7:00 pm I highly recommend this seller. You won't steal a coin from them but you will get a quality coin reasonably priced. I've bought several coins from them and am happy with my purchases. Member ANA and EAC "You got to lose to know how to win". Dream On by Aerosmith Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 2:02 pm DL is known for their Barber coins, which they are experts in. They handle all levels from low grade worn through 1913 Proof Liberty nickels. I've been dealing with them for years back when David "Larry" was still alive, his son John now runs the company and is quite capable. Their website is being changed this week and should be up within days, looking forward to seeing how it's different. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

BadToTheBone Pillar of the Community United States 1795 Posts	Posted 02/22/2015 10:35 am Never ever had a problem with them. A little high sometimes but you can do well with the right sale. Usually they will have a coin that the others don't have. I'm talking about Commemoratives in my case. Report this Post to the Staff
thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 02/22/2015 11:39 am I made my first purchase from DL last December, when they were blowing out common AU58 $10 Indian slabs for $706 BIN. Being able to compare a dozen, I picked the one which had the fullest strike and least objectionable nicks. I preferred choosing among the photos to having APMEX send one unseen.
