   Please do not confuse Great Southern Coins with Southern Coins & Precious Metals out of Metairie LA. Southern Coins & Precious Metals is a reputable firm. I've known the owner personally since 1986, and not once have I ever heard one person say anyhting but good about them. Great Southern is a different story. Southern has…

   I bought a coin from them just last month and had to return it. It looked nothing like the photo in the auction. I did get a prompt refund including shipping. I bought a couple nice raw coins from the old great Southern Coins a few years ago and they were great coins. Now, it looks like their raw coins are crap and their…

   I have purchased 4 raw coins from Great Southern Coins over the past 3 years. The first was a nice score - not a big score, but a nice, hard to find, raw coin (that slabbed) at a really good price. The best thing I can say about the last three coins is that they refund your money promptly and courteously (including…

    the ebay seller in question often buys coins that "haven't moved well" from local (San Antonio) dealers. Typically takes photos of the actual coin and offers them on ebay with no reserve. I've seen a few of the certified coins in person before they were wholesaled out and understand fully why the local dealers couldn't…
