Ok, where to start. I was looking for some coin "air-tights" and my usual coin shop was closed so i did a search online for another shop in my area where I found "Bill's Rare Coins" owned by Bill Roark. I called and he said he had about 30. The cost is .50 each. which is close to the going rate. He also said he has a lot of silver eagles if I wanted to take a look. When I got there I realized he had no coin shop he was working out of his house. Working out of his house is not uncommon in this area so it didn't phase me. What did though was the fact that he didn't have air-tights he had 2x2 cardboard flips. he wanted .50 cents each. retail is 100 for $4.00. So not only did he not have a clue what air-tights are he tried to rip me off on the flips. the nerve of some people! Then to top it off he said he had eagles as far back as 1982!! Unless he has a DeLorean with a Flux compactor in his garage there is no way he has an '82 Silver Eagle (They started minting them in 1986)
So beware of this guy, he will try to rip you off and he has no clue what he's doing. make sure if you go to him you do you research and inspect everything!! read more
