I spent $10K last year on submissions. This year I spent $0.

Wow. Not even close. But I hope you keep on publishing!

Sorry, world coin collector here... But still not just lost but also not happy with the "improvements"...

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for all the great comments. 

I just wanted to make sure I clarified the original reason for the post. Although I have had numerous problems with labeling and other issues, this post was to address the mounting issue. If you look at the pics you will see that the 4 coins pictured were graded and stabbed in order and yet you can see that 3 were mounted forward and one was mounted backwards. I'm sure that you will agree that there is no reason to do this and it makes no sense. 

It is all the same problem... Placing coins with the wrong orientation, label errors, designation errors, mechanical errors. It is all lack of attention to detail, and afraid to say, ignorance on the series. 

This is not that uncommon. I just received 3 coins with the wrong attribution (one with the wrong country no less) that were sent for correction. I still have a few that I need to sent back to be fixed. Wrong labels are becoming too frequent and while they will eventually correct them, it takes time, many emails, and money.

Very nice coins.

Really nice!

Nice coins. Thank you for sharing.

I agree with @Lucky One there have been many postings over the last few months regarding the displeasure caused by the changes that ignored the collector. Hardly a surprise that people are leaving. Just look at the journals. There was a time when several were published each week, now... And the PCGS nonsense to remove from the sets their coins. Clearly these people are in the business of upsetting their core clients.

Thank you.

While I agree, usually they review that the request makes sense(?).

In fact my own avatar is the reverse, not obverse, of a Mexican 8 reales, with bust and all...

Interesting issue. In Mexican law, the coinage always have the National Emblem on the obverse. So in theory, all Mexican coins should be slabbed with the eagle on the front of the holder. But this seldom happens because all coins from Mexico have the Shield and therefore look the same, and when it does, I have heard complains about it. My guess is that the complaint sparks due to the fact that under this law, all Mexican coins have the same obverse and the difference is the reverse. I assume all coins, when approved by a given parliament, in the approval law it is described what is the obverse and the reverse.

Great!

I have purchased from them, even sold to them, without issue. Like was already mentioned, they tend to only deal in high end stuff. Benjamin Bell goes to a lot of the larger coin shows. They used to be almost exclusively a latin american coin company but now pretty much sell any better world coins. They are very knowledgeable.

Unfortunately, Benjamin Bell died few days ago.

Do you mean https://worldnumismatics.com ? If so I routinely get coins from them. Pricey but usually very high quality coins.
