Great Southern Coins

groganking,

I have not purchased from them (most of their offerings close a bit out of my price range), but I have seen their listings for years. They offer some beautiful coins. One thing has always sent up a little flag in my head though ... why aren't these coins slabbed by one of the top three? I'm not a big proponent of slabbing, but on the high end I think it's necessary to assure authenticity and that the coin has no problems (i.e., cleaned, artificially toned).

I would recommend you review feedback from past buyers. If you see any indication that the coins may not be "problem-free" I would avoid them. If you want to take a chance, check out their return policy and any negative feedback about exercising that policy. Good luck.

I bought a Buff from them, but in hand it didn't really look nice as in their auction picture. This could be a personal preference. I ended up returning the coin and they refunded full price + s/h. They have a good return policy.
