No pics there, big bummer! Anyone have any experience with them?

I have a little. They will send some scans if you call them. Seem like ok folks.

stinkinlincoln · February 12, 2010 2:29AM

Thanks for the info, they have 4-5 coins Im interested in and no images. Normally I move on once I see there is no pics, or should I say, dont see any pics...

Anyways, thanks for the help!

Yes I bought an 1880 gold dollar from them and was pleased. No photos only scans.

stinkinlincoln · February 12, 2010 3:06AM

Thanks ambro.

The new count of coins they have Im interested in is 17.

I need 6 coins for this set... I hit paydirt my friends.

Hopefully their scans are good enough.

Andrew is a stand up coin dealer, in the business for a long long LONG time.

I purchased two quarters from them no problems. And yes they will send you pics'/scans if your request them.

Thanks for all the help!

You guys rock

I have been watching one coin for a year now. Seems a little over priced at 3x PCGS guide. With not photos too boot. If the price was more reasonable I would probably try the request a scan route.

That said, the reviews here appear positive. Maybe I should look into it again

I was pleased with the service when I purchased one of Andrew's coins. They'll send photographs if you ask.

If its been sitting there for over a year, I bet he is willing to work on the price. I wouldnt pay asking price on anything in the coin world if its sat for a year or more.

I know I'm reviving an old thread here.

Does anyone have a good email address for these guys in Massachusetts? I tried to use the one listed on collectors corner and it comes back with domain not found. They say to email for pictures of coins for sale, but there is no good email address to use.

I bought some items from them a few years ago. Totally satisfactory imo.

1630Boston · July 8, 2020 10:54AM

Darn it........now I'm going to have to check out their website

No Headlights · July 8, 2020 10:55AM

I used the email address last week and received the requested photos by reply email

Crusty · July 8, 2020 11:35AM

Website is very low budget but he is responsive to email and will send pics if requested. Bought a very nice seated dollar from him a couple years ago.

That's nice. I tend to gravitate to the sellers of coins they don't feel need imaging.

CoinPhysicist · July 8, 2020 2:10PM

Thank you, I knew you would have the answer here. Trying to find a decent 1817/3 CBH and they have 2

coinnut · July 8, 2020 3:29PM

Haven't seen Andrew is quite a few years. Nice guy. Glad he's still around.

A lot of companies that were heavy in $20 gold coins, etc., are better off now. He was a big advertiser in Coin World.
