Updating my review.. David Zanca of Blanchard & Company has never failed to give me stellar service and attention. I can't say enough about his dedication and trustworthiness.. I'm fortunate to have him as my agent at Blanchard! read more

This company is the ultimate scam artist. They will sell you collectible gold coins at over $900 mark up to the dot price of gold. They will buy from you the same gold coin UNDER the dot price of gold by over $150. I recommend that you never buy numismatic collectible gold coins. Stick to bullion coins. You'll get less ripped off. read more

I purchased coins from this company in the 1980s and paid between $350 and $450 per ounce. I got Saint Gaudens, Austrian Philharmonics, and Kreuggerands. Still holding. They were professional, secure and quick with delivery. I don't worry about resale. read more

Claims to buy back any coins purchased from them, but what they don't tell you is they will only do so if they have a buyer lined up so there is zero risk to Blanchard. Seem to take advantage of elderly/lonely elderly men who like the attention of a southern belle. If you are completely knowledgeable and aren't worried about empty promises, go for it. read more

BEWARE: This company promotes 'rare' coins as a safe investment that rise in value with the price of gold. Well, like my family's experience, the actual results can be VERY different. My late father invested almost $10,000 back in the mid 90's when gold was approx $380/oz. I wanted to sell the coins and contacted them. Yes, they offered to buy them back as they advertise BUT --- It's 25 years later, Gold is close to $1,800/oz and based on their offer, this set of coins lost almost 20% in that time frame! (one coin lost over 70%) My dad was naïve and I fell like they completely took advantage of him. When I asked how this could happen, the Blanchard rep said "gold moves in cycles" as if I didn't know that gold is up close to 400% and near the top of the "cycle". Remember this: "rare" coins are not a liquid investment. To sell them, you need to find a buyer. And, if you buy them from Blanchard, you'll likely pay TOP dollar. Finding a buyer at a higher amount is very hard to do. Even after 25 years. I suggest you put your money elsewhere if you want to have a chance at making a positive return! read more

Suppose you are interested in purchasing rare or precious coins of silver or gold. I recommend Blanchard. My dealings with them have been top notch. Their organization is one hundred per cent professional. They are personable, helpful, supportive, and honest. When you invest, you can leave your worries aside and know you've made the right choice. read more
