Vincent (Vinnie) LaLoggia

Hi Everyone. Yes, it is the same Vinnie from years ago.

I have been selling at Finest Known for just over a year. James DiGeorgia is one of the finest people in the coin industry that I have ever met. I have moved from company to company because of moral fiber. It is so hard to find someone as honest and true to their word as James.

What people should know about James: After leaving Oak Tree in 1991 he became the editor of the Silver & Gold Report and was one of the most aggressive consumer activists in the country. He personally went after dozens of high pressure phone rooms and was instrumental in putting three different coin scam artists behind bars. His work was featured in USA Today, LA Times, NY times, Chicago Tribune and many newspapers around the country. He was even given three full pages in Barons after one of those coin scam artists threatened to kill him with a baseball bat!

Bottom line: James DiGeorgia is honest!

I wanted to thank all of you who said such nice things about me. I am so glad that I could help you out with all of your collections. I am still really good at finding those low pop coins you need. Call or email me anytime I would love to hear from all of you. Take care, Vinnie

    i have a question. how do you know your coins are the "finest known", just by the number on the slab of plastic? or have you actually seen all the other competing coins?

    Cool. I bought some coins from you back then and was quite pleased with the service. Almost pleased enough to forgive the SPAM you just sent me.



    << <i>how do you know your coins are the "finest known" >>



    It's just a company name, Dork. It's marketing.

    I do not know Vinnie, but I know James. I've done many transactions which involved selling coins to him, and never had a problem. He does what he says he is going to do, and is hard working, enthusiastic, successful entrepenuer.

    Thanks Russ, sorry about the email. I guess I have to really take care of you on the next one to make up for the email.

    Hi, to answer the questions where I recieved your emails. I currently am purchasing Certifed Modern Coins company in SC. Which used to be my old company I worked for years ago, Numismatic Consultants. I will take anyone off the list if you request. I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm available for any help that you might need. Thanks Vinnie

    Vinnie,

    You should wander over to the Set Registry forum...Mike (mustangman7) from Michigan gave you a shout out for finding high grade coins from him back in 2001 when he completed his first Lincoln Memorial set (he just completed his third set)...if I remember he mentioned losing touch with you after you left Numismatic Consultants. I think the thread should still be somewhere in the first few pages.

    Vinnie,

    That brings up something I've been wondering about. What is coin-slinger's affiliation with the company?

    Are you also buying the house in Palmetto Dunes that Certified Modern uses as their "office"? I used to ride my bike past the house whenever we were there hoping to get invited in.image

    I would say welcome to the boards, but you registered a year ago.

    I am also curious (as Russ) about coinslinger, or Alex Cyphers as I know him.

    And, I said nice things about James (Jim) in the original thread!

    Vinnie has changed jobs many time's in the time since I last spoke with him and I lost contact with him. Haven't you ever lost contact with someone before? You don't stop being friends just because you can't find them.

    Hey, I have sent an email to James 3 days ago. I'll just keep trying! I have a question concerning a coin!

    Regards, Leo

    The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
