What National Coin Company "Is" Good/Fair To Buy From ?

I don't know of any that put out a magazine per say. However, I get the Southpark Coin quarterly that has all of the auctions for hundreds of coins. I have never actually used them for this but do get supplies from them on occasion. Anyone else have any better info? I am kind of curious not as well.

I've heard good things about Jack Beymer. Some say his prices are too high but I haven't heard anything bad about his quality or service.

I've been wondering pretty much the same thing and have been kinda looking around the online forums for some opinions on various dealers and he seems to have one of the best reputations so far but then my searching is pretty far from comprehensive and I haven't dealt with him personally so take all that into account.

About the only mail order outfit I've dealt with personally is L&C coins. I ordered a "choice AU" cent, and paid for choice AU, and got a coin with some big nasty spots on the back. To their credit they gave me back all of my money quickly and with no hassle, including the shipping charges, but I was bummed that they would try to sell something like that for the price they charged me.

I believe that Miller's Mint puts out a quarterly catalog. Few companies have paper catalogs anymore since listings complete with photos can be placed on a website at a much smaller cost than printing catalogs.

I too get that newsletter from them. I've never purchased anything from them but once on their list, you keep getting their info. Nice touch. Then there is the controversial https://www.universalcoin.com. The one advertised near the front of the Red Book with all the free offers. If you call them they will put you on their mailing list for some really great information of coins. However, you will have to fight off their phone sales people occationally. Usually just a not now will get rid of them for a while. But good info.
Other than than that you must remember asking that is like asking which is the most honest used car dealer, who should I marry, Which movie should I see next, etc. Eveyone has a different opinion and what is good for one may be a real mess for you.

I bought my 09-S VDB from L & C Coins and I'm very happy with them. They send a catalog to you by request. They have one for raw coins and one for certified coins. At the top of their page theres a box that says "free catalog".

I have purchased several items from littleton coins and have nothing bad to say about them. Their prices are in the same price range as what I would pay at my local dealers. So fare what they said I was getting was what I received. Plus I like the convenience of them being delivered to my door.

jcook54,

For example Littleton is charging $26.95 for a 2008 SAE and the closes local dealer to me is charging $24.00 for the 2008 SAE. Shipping from Littleton to my house for that coin is about $4.95. For me to drive to my closest dealer I would use that much in gas if not more. To me $2.95 is not that big of a difference.

If your local dealers are charging what Littleton charges, then your dealers are even more of a ripoff than most dealers!

Amazing how some people beat me to saying something and word for word. Makes me wonder if I have a double out there somewhre.
As to any dealer, coin store, etc charging what Littleton charges, RUN, don't walk in the other direction.

I've seen many request on coin web sites for possible great, good or decent on line coin dealers. I always wonder why no one wants to know or have a list of the bad, horrible, to expensive ones.
