Welcome to my Neutral Numismatic Dealers/Traders Page!!!!

This page is always under construction.

In every hobby, there is a share of good dealers and a share of unsavory, unscrupulous and bad dealers and also a share of neutral dealers as well, where no one can speak either or bad about those types of dealers, or where there is no known opinion, or where there are mixed reviews about those dealers. Of course, using those 'neutral' dealers involves some type of risk-taking, so if you decide to do business with dealers listed on this page, just be careful, and be vigilant.

The rules for this list are:

  1. Any dealer who has a mixed record on file, will be listed here.
  2. Any dealer who is listed here that improves his/her rating significantly will be removed from this list and be placed in the Good Dealers List.
  3. Any dealer who is listed here that worsens his/her rating significantly will be removed from this list and be placed in the Bad Dealers List.

If you like to say anything about any of the dealers on this web page, e-mail me and your name/email will not be disclosed when I publish your comment on a page linked to this one.

A star before the name of the dealer means I have done business with that dealer in question previously.

For the Offenses:

  1. Bad turnaround time for delivery of merchandise/refund
  2. Reneging on a deal -- It can be any of these below:
    1. Not sending money to the other party for the coin(s)/note(s) that s/he bought or won in an auction.
    2. Not sending the coin(s)/notes(s) after money has been received by him/her.
    3. Not following through with the return policy as described in his/her advertisment.
  3. Other forms of bad customer service not noted under Sections 1 and 2.
  4. Crimes may may have been committed by the bad dealer/trader
  5. Altering/Defacing coins/notes
  6. Cleaning coins/notes and not properly stating the coin/note as "cleaned" in its description
  7. Dipping coins and not properly stating the coin as "dipped" in its description
  8. Overgrading coins/notes
  9. Whizzing coins and not properly stating the coin as "whizzed" in its description
  10. Counterfeiting coins/notes
  11. Other forms of false advertising of mis-representation not noted under Sections 5 to 10.
  12. Any form of Spamming (eg, Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail (aka UCE), Usenet spamming)
  13. Telemarketing & Overcharging -- Unreasonably high mark-ups for commonly seen coins/notes, and the like. (Note: This happens most often in newspaper commercials and the "Shop At Home" info-mercials.)
