Coin Store Opinion

I was just wondering if anyone has done business with this coin store. Can
they be trusted? Are the coins listed match the grade claimed? Your
opinions would help a lot. Thanks.

I am looking for a regular strike 1882 seated half graded F - XF. This is
the only place I have located such a coin online. The closest brick and
mortar coin store is 40 miles away and they have none and also have been
unable to find any.

Who is the owner? At our website (www.harlanjberk.com) you can read all about
us.

FWIW, The 2003 Noomismatic Deeler Directory does not show
any deelers located in Roy, UT, and I don't know any deelers
from there either ...

I always check with the American Numismatic Association at
www.money.org and look at their dealer list. The other reputable
societies are the American Numismatic Society (no dealer list) and the
International Association of Professional Numismatists (IAPN) and the
Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG). Generally, a dealer from the
USA will be in the ANA (or ANS) before being admitted to the IAPN or
PNG. So, being in the IAPN or PNG is a sign of special status.

After ten years in the hobby, a dealer would have to be very special
to me -- and I would have to be very certain of the material I am
buying -- before I would spend money with any dealer who is not at
least in the ANA (or ANS).

Thanks for the advice Michael. I sometimes forget to use my head when I get
a little desparate. I have been looking for this coin a long time. I will
take your advise.
