Danger, Will Robinson.

If he does, he is smarter than I would think as he doesn't let anyone here know it is him

StampAlarm · January 31, 2008 8:05AM

Wasn't he booted from the ANA?

<< Wasn't he booted from the ANA? >>

I believe you're right.

I have bought bullion from him in the past because he had very good prices (this was many years ago). Not sure if he still does.
My experience was satisfactory.
And yes, he was expelled from the ANA.

I did the search. Thanks everyone for the warning!!

I've lost respect for CW and other mags publishing his ads without warning readers...yikes. CW does a disservice to the coin industry and hobby by publishing the ads of scoundrels.

He owns Coast to Coast coins with the full page ads in Coin World. There is a reason all his coins are raw.

BECOKA · January 31, 2008 10:07AM

Wow, glad I don't even look at those ads.

I read the other threads linked above and I think this knowledge is engrained in my head now.
