I had 10 GSA cc Morgan uncirculated coins graded by NGC. I was offered substantially more by a coin shop. Great collections wanted to lowball me by seven to $8000 on their estimate of these said coins, not to mention I would’ve had to have shipped them from the East Coast to the West Coast with insurance that covered a substantial amount more of money than what great collections offered very disappointing. Will never speak with them or contact them again about coins.

I am not one to say much, but here is my experience. I was told when I first sent in my coins for consignment that they pride themselves on underpromising and overdelivering. well although, some communicated with professionalism. It all turned upside down when I received this call from their accounting department. Long story short, I requested a simple request for them to pay me electronically. They asked all this personal information about me. But why would you ask all this information to not do what you stated you were on planning to do. This is most bizarre. The lady even questioned the banks authority and credibility stating "anyone could create an official letter from the bank for a voided check" ... what kind of assumption is this? I calmly communicated to her, but she was completely unprofessional and distraught. Not sure why.... she acted as if she is the client... Anyways, her lack of faith is most disturbing. They failed to listen to the client. Which is why they should think twice as ignorant as it may seem. It takes a lot to earn the business of a client. To say the least, they overpromised and underdelivered. I was also told when I received an estimate for the value of my coins. Well they came well under that value. The experience was not what I expected. I was surprised at her reaction, which is what has made this a bit disappointing. This is not transactional, not sure why they would treat customers this way? In the future, I will have to think about doing business with them.

Absolutely no communication. Totally disregarded the value I put on my coins. I requested one of my coins back and they refused to send it back to me which cost me a loss of thousands of dollars.

A great site for beginners and experts. I have pura used several times from this and very please with the quality of the coins and the preservations of all the 1800 coins I purchased. Top quality at unbeatable prices. Again thank you.

Any rare coins in your collection? How about your pocket change? Let these guys Check your coins. Wouldn’t it be nice to have that one penny and it ended up being worth a couple hundred thousand..?

I buy, sell and collect US Coins. Well for about 2 years or a little longer I have sent at least 25 photos of US Coins, recognized error coins and non error coins to the NOT so Great Collections.com because they advertise that they have a program that will pay to have your coins graded, auction them off, take their percentage and then send you a check for your part of the sale. They may say the program however they don't do the program. They are only trying to buy your coin dirt cheap and sell it themselves for huge profit margins. When you call them on it, the response is generic and scripted and start out the same way. They are sent by Ben (so called big boss) and they all start and end the same way. Dear Donald, Unfortunately at this time we wouldn't be interested in the whatever the coin was. Stay in touch Bla Bla Bla. I've talked to a number of real collectors that experience the exact same thing with the same exact response. I don't believe they would pay for anybody's coin to be graded unless it was valued in the $1000's and of course had it in there hands. So beware, the NOT SO GREAT COLLECTIONS IS NOT TRANSPARENT IN THEIR DEALINGS and they will try to get your valuable coin for nothing unless you call them on the program. Dear Ben, unfortunately I have to write these reviews because unfortunately they are true. Donald DeChaine
