I just received an unsolicited email from the above company offering to help me upgrade my "spectacular walking liberty half dollar registry set" (their words). I've not heard of them but wonder if others have, and what you can tell me about them, business practices, honesty, etc.

Thanx in advance for any information.

Steve

    Hughes knows his stuff. His prices are fair, and his coins are quality, in my experience. He email solicted me with a great 1935-D Washington, which I really appreciated.

    He doesn't have a website. But his tel number is 877-754-2646.

    Did the message provide any details on how the set would be upgraded?

    Nope. Only the above statement and who to call.

    I ordered one coin from him back in the early 70's. Either BU 93-0 Barber half or a circ bust dollar, my memory is not perfect. It was returned. That was the last time I had done business with him.
