do you know if the web site is a scam or if it looks legitimate? thanks for you help. if not can you suggest somewere that is? thanks

Answer
Michael,

I've never dealt with them, but they probably are legitimate.

However, if you don't need the fancy packaging, I sell the same coins on my website for $2.00 each :

I also sell inexpensive folders to hold the coins on the same page.

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience

I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
