Not defending Coin Vault, but they do say that if you're not satisfied, they
have a money back guarantee. One option Wes' customer may have is to hang onto that unopened "green monster box" for about five years, then call CV and offer to sell it back to them. Chambers has said on many occasions that he's always in the market to buy unopened boxes, especially 1988 and 1996. If it were me, though, I'd send it back now. Of course, I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. Oh, yeah. Saturday's show is about coins, currency, sports collectables, watches and other assorted stuff. Jerry "Wes Chormicle" writes: He realized he'd been had. Had I not had the sign posted about selling them for $4300/box, he probably would have thought I was trying to "steal" them from him. After a few minutes he came to the conclusion that we were the good guys and Mr. Chambers was the crook. Bottom line he decided to call and see what the Coin Vault pays for them.

A guy comes into the shop with a green mint box of 2005 SAE's that he needs to sell. He is willing to not make any money and let them go for what he paid for them, $9000 from the Coin Vault. I politely pointed out the chalkboard where we sell the same box for $4300...... He was not pleased with Mr. Chambers... --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

The Chambers maids claim to have sold eight complete 86 to 04 runs of SAE's in MS70 at $33,000 (2 at $35,000). Last night, they were offering complete 86 to 05 runs of Proof ultra-cameo SAE's in PF70 for $15,999.95? I don't get it. Why half the retail? I thought the proofs were far more desirable. You thought wrong. In 70 condition, Uncs are far rarer than Proofs, and command premium prices. Once you get below 70, however, the prices for Unc Eagles plummets. MS69 gets a little premium; MS68 is bullion. -- Bob |

Not attacking Coin Volt, BUT Taking advantage of ignorant people (proper term, unlearned on topic, not stupid) is not defended by giving them outs they are too ignorant to know they should be using. Might as well start a mail order coin shop and sell cleaned AU's and call them "Premium Quality Brilliant Uncirculated", give them a 'no question 30 day return policy' and naming the business...

That's still better than some mom and pop store front coin dealers will offer..... There are lots of people taking advantage whenever they see a window. Yep. And I'm not bigoted either. I hate them all equally. -- DW |

Appreciate your sharing of the numbers, Michael. I swear, I love this hobby, but I do not understand the industry of numismatics! Or the mindset and lack of fiscal responsibility that leads someone to blow $30,000 on a set of modern 'condition rarities', only the slightest fraction of which are submitted for a third party appraisal. I am completely at sea when I contemplate that as a 'collecting strategy'. Even at today's prices, my entire collection isn't worth 30K. Rather than buying numbers on slabs, I'd rather have an AU 1854-D $3 or some other genuine rarity. As for SAE's, I have a couple of certified ones I received as promos, an uncertified date set, and a tube of 2004's that I give away as attaboy's at work. But "lack of fiscal responsibility?" Since I don't know if the hypothetical buyers are of the "greater sucker" school of investing or are merely using discretionary income to "win" a game, I can't make that judgment. If I wanted to do the "fiscally responsible" thing, I'd sell my entire collection today and invest it in a combination of stocks, bonds, and perhaps some bullion. But this is a hobby, and there are as many ways to collect as their are collectors. -- Michael Benveniste -- Spam and UCE professionally evaluated for $419.
