Rare Coin Wholesalers

I was looking at their inventory and it seems huge compared to other dealers (some very nice coins). Is this one dealer or do they sell coins from multiple dealers on their site? Also, I assume from the prices that it is retail and not true wholesale prices. Thanks

Never overlook them or any dealer. I recently purchased a coin from them, the substantially lowered their retail price down to a reasonable number and I bought it. They don't so their homework because they carry too much inventory and missed the fact hat it was a from a great collection and is one of the finest known for the die marriage if not the finest.
You can do as you please by posting this here, but don't be surprised or disappointed if your declaration of scoring on RCW gets back to them, and it alters the relationship you thought you had with them. To me, it just shows your lack of judgement of how small the coin community really is.

I'm sure they made a few bucks when they sold it to you also
I'm not quite sure they should use the word Wholesale in their name though:

Congrats...there is nothing like *****ting down the well to poison the waters.
Best to keep those cherry picks quiet.

I think the salient point is not so much what you said, but that you said it in an insulting way.

I'll say this though. They have had some of the most beautiful women working at their booth that I have ever seen at at coin show.
You seem to have summed it up pretty well yourself. If only you and a couple other guys care, and you won't pay a premium, how much more homework do you expect them to do? Maybe they already know that (having done their homework) and don't care to spend any more time or effort (i.e., money) trying to identify the one or two collectors who might pay a slight premium.
In all probability, you paid more than they did.

They bought it cheap ....the original seller to RCW took it in the pants
If a particular issue I enter that in my search parameters (ebay).
As far as the dealer you mentioned I don't go buy what they supposedly do or don't do. I research the coin in CF it is either within what I pay or not. My ebay searches are usually for auction items or a search for lowest sell price on particular issue.
When you're dealing with RCW you're also dealing with the 13,000+ crackout inserts they turned in approximately a decade ago. I wonder how many more (and regrades/crossovers) have been added since then. And that's only what they officially turned in. I don't remember the exact counts but there's no doubt a thread from the old days on it with dozens of proof $3 golds, $4 stellas, and other "potent" coins.
How does this impact a current customer ? Thx
