Anybody sold to these guys? Did you drop coins or ship them? Most importantly, are their checks good?

Thanls!

    Yep, checks are good. Great people, and one of the best dealers in Illinois.

    Top of the line, all the way. You will have NO problems.
  • I always liked stopping by their shop but they built a wall and do all buying through a window. no retail any longer. Haven't been back since. They are fair buyers.

    To pile on, they buy almost all the gold and silver bullion at several local shows.

    Never a bad deal or bad check to anyone.

    Well, after all of the positive comments, I went there this afternoon and sold them a rather large (for me) batch of 90% silver, silver rounds, sterling, and about 400 silver dollars. I had called ahead for prices. When I got there, all went according to plan. They accepted my counts and my grades on the dollars. There were ample pleasantries exchanged. Wow, I'll be going back!

    Use some caution though.. a friend went there to sell some gold eagles and other coins... He was quoted a good price for the Gold Eagles, but Chicago coin whipped out the GreySheet to quote buy prices for several coins in the $ 750 - 1000 + . Of course these were low ball buy l pricesimage

    From this statement and looking at thier web site I would have to guess that they are a major buyer but where is their outlet? I will be heading to Chicago tomorrow and although with all the great reviews this does not look like a stop for a shopper. Anyone have a different take?
