Palm Desert Coin Company here in Palm Desert is one of the worst run retail stores that I have ever tried to do business with. I am an expert coin and precious metal collector and have been so for many years. The old man who owns and runs this place either has some form of dimentia or is just simply a rude and angry person. He is not only uneducated regarding his coins and precious metals, but he is also angry and rude with customers. I have visited his store 2 times in the past 2 months and both times he was confused, unable to speak coherently, and very rude. I will NEVER return to this place. I am amazed that he is able to stay in business. On both occasions I observed him transact with customers with no paperwork, no identification, no invoices, no receipts, etc... He cannot identify any customer after the sale for any reason either for law enforcement, taxing authorities, or simply customer relations. This guy operates his business like a personal hobby. he uses no computer, and has no record keeping system. The IRS should take a close look at this guy. There are other coin shops in the area that are far superior to this place. Keep your sanity and stay as far away from this place as possible. read more
