I did a search for "southern coin company" and it turned up tons of threads that had nothing to do with it, maybe I'm doing something wrong.

 

They advertise in COINage magazine, as well as http://www.gobnum.com/ which sells a 1 ounce silver coin with a miner flake/nugget from the SS cental republic for $39, I think though that price is wrong. I've been looking everywhere for some SS central republic treasure, no way am I buying a coin from the wreck, I'd rather buy some small dust/nuggets that was used as a "pinch" back in the old west. They hired bartenders with large hands so a "pinch" of gold was not as much as an average person, making profit.

 

I've heard bad things about coast and coast, and I'm wondering if this company is the same. Has anyone had any experiences from them they'd like to share?

 

Here is their advertise on classic head gold:

"Classic Head" Gold Quarter and Half Eagles

1834-1838

America's Greatest Rare Gold Bargain!

Rare American gold. Classic American gold. It's the stuff that coin collectors dreams are made of. But if you've dreamed of owning it, you also know this reality..early american gold is not only rare, it's very expensive. But theres one golden opportunity that still remains in early american gold. Coins that are rare, but not yet expensive. That opportunity is the classic head gold coins of 1834-1838. It's been over 165 years since the last classic head gold coins were minted. And finding nice coins on the market today is very difficult, no matter what the grade. It's amazing to think that you can still buy rare american gold coins of this classic period for just a few hundred dollars. This is the last great bargain in early american gold.

I have not dealt with that company, but I agree that classic head gold is a "sweet spot" in U.S. numismatics.
