In response to the author of this article….there are many many more companies than listed above and they are not as repectible according to customer service or ratings. Those I refer to have C or worse ratings, and customer service issues abound. I agree with Beck’s brief and general comment about the many “bad”companies vs. Goldline. I have used some of the others mentioned above and are happy with them as well. I will say Goldline has more of a professional air and knowledge about them, as I have talked with reps from there, and other companies.

Coins are ideal as collectible items for several reasons. First, coins last longer than currency bills because of their metal composition. Second, the metal contained in coins usually have intrinsic value in themselves. Many coins are minted using a combination of silver, copper, nickel and even gold. Those that contain silver and gold are usually worth more than the face value, particularly if a coin is rare or old.

AC – Actually they are not the same company, anymore than A-Mark and Teletrade are the same company. Many large corporations have different divisions within them with different management,products and business practices. That is why they can have separate BBB ratings.

I had to chuckle when I saw the list you published above. Monaco Rare Coins has an “A” rating while Monex has an “F” rating. They are the same company located in Newport Beach, California. What does that say for the reliability of BBB ratings?

Richard:
As stated in the article, the “small sample” was intended to review the companies that would appear in the search results from Google for a generic search run for “Gold Coins” and “Gold Bullion”. These would represent the the most likely sites anyone searching would encounter, hence those they would most likely click through to.
