I have dealt with them a couple times. Fair service and they paid as advertised. I sent them 2 rolls of silver dollars, Peace and Morgan. 60% were BU, 20% AU. They paid me the very LOWEST amount for each coin, as if they were VG. To make matters worse, they took a month to pay for the coins. I called them after 3 weeks and asked what's up. They statetd that their ad stated it could take a month to pay. NOT in their ad. I told them I wanted my coins back. They stated the check would be in the mail in a few days, they couldn't give the coins back.
When the check finally arrived, I called and told them I wanted my coins back since they didn't pay as advertised. They stated they had no proof of the coins conditions. They stated they wouldn't do anything about it. The man on the phone was very irritable and unfriendly. PLEASE BE AWARE!!!!

Covina made me nervous just calling them once, they never got the chance to screw me.

Their published buy price for 1977 sets was $5 when I mailed my box 11/08. They rec'd. 11/14.
Between then and now, they lowered their buy price to $3.50 which is BELOW FACE VALUE.
They sent a note with my check:"Occasionally this will happen as mkt changes. Thanks for understanding."
Oh yeah, I understand just fine... I paid the postage to give my coins to them for less than I could have spent them for. Real nice outfit. Can't imagine they get many repeat customers.
Yes, I know, I was forewarned.

I agree, have done so for years........but I thought he was the son?
Doesn't really matter though, he is a great guy to deal with.
