Yes, I used to purchase from their auctions many times in years past, when I could attend in person. But have not in the last year or two since they went internet, etc. I do not like their bidding arrangements/increments. Also, it is hard to tell exactly what you are getting on some lots unless you can attend in person. But, for certified coins etc., should be ok... just make sure you understand their bidding scenario. They sometimes do get some neat coins in auction. One item I picked up was a 1893 Barber dime PCGS PF62 that was a 3/2 variety.... used to be able to pick up some gold coins at spot, etc., but now with increased bidding, etc., good finds are more difficult to come by.

Just be aware also that some coins may be hairlined, cleaned, etc. that descriptions/pictures may not fully show. Also, I have seen once in awhile some coins that I questioned authenticity, etc. (but I do not think they intentionally include fakes, etc.)
