Talisman Coins

I buy gold numismatic (collector, or limited mintage; not bullion) coins from Talisman on a regular basis, and know for a fact that they ALWAYS have the lowest price in the market. They are ALWAYS lower than the mints themselves, at least upon initial release.

That's why I try to buy quickly and get in on the ground floor, before they sell out and the prices go out. It's better than missing out, which I hate.

Purchased several coins or sets Canadian & Australia 4-5 years ago as investment opportunity coin with a hold of 2-5 years. They waffle and shy away from buying back when time comes to sell back.

Stay away from this dealer for investment recommendations as they fall short of breaking even with stronger gold/silver market than when purchased. Better to buy US coins from dealers that have good buy back

Polices.

I've been a customer of Talisman Coins for over ten years and have always receive top notcj service. Bob (the customer service manager) and the girls in the office are always helpful and take time to answer my questions.

Keep in mind, this is a no-frills outfit. They're out of St. Louis, in the Midwest, not on either coast, so their personnel and overhead is much lower. And they have a common-sense, Midwestern sensibility - they want their customers to save money. They don't have a phoneroom full of commission salespeople making outbound sales calls, and they don't pay for glossy color advertizing in overpriced magazines. Apparently their ownly advertizing is word of mouth.

In return, Ive found their prices are consistently the lowest - lower than even the Mints that issue the coins. They have told me that they buy in bulk, get economy of scale, and pass the savings on to collectors. I almost never find a lower price anywhere, unless some *** needs money and is blowing things out at a loss. Of course, I don't wait for coins or sets to sell out, either - I get in early, when the prices are lowest, before they head north.

One note - they don't have a storefront or showroom, to keep their costs down - their a true low-cost wholesaler, not a retailer, so you can't pop in for a visit. I have met them at coin shows however, and they have always been friendly and professional.

Very rude man at Talisman Coins in St. Louis.

He got upset that I called to place my first order with his company instead of placing it online. My computer was out for repair at the time.

He asked me how I found out about Talisman Coin Company if I did not have my computer. Very nasty attitude this coin dealer has!

I placed an order for one coin with a ten dollar shipping charge. The coin ended up being very popular and my order was just deleted with no warning or contact of any type from the company.

After a month I decided to call and was told they had no record of my order. After I showed my order confirmation I was told their allocation was shorted by the mint and they could no help me. two weeks after that the coin was selling on their website for three or four times the price. I can't understand why they would stiff a customer over one coin.

To my stupidity I gave them another chance and order again from them with some items that were not popular, to my dismay the coins were full of problems that were never mentioned on their site.

With no offer to exchange them or help on the issue I've just decided to cut them off for ever. I paid over $400 for 3 coins on this order I expect to be treated better....

After 1 month of silence the company cancelled my order.They do not keep words and promises. Do not buy anything from Talisman coins.You will be disappointed.

This dealer is very unethical and does NOT keep his word. If you ask a question, he has a "hissy" fit and deletes your pending orders and account. No way to contact him via the web.

Either he doesn't know what he is talking about, dr just doesn't care about expanding his business.

I was lined up for 2 sets of Canadian coins which he cancelled and refused to honor or sell me any more coins. Thus, my collection are at a loss for certain coins.

In addition, he states on the web he is "out of a coin" or sold out; Then waits a few weeks and offers the coins. In short, he cheats his customers by uis LIES Q!!!!!gnka

This company sold me a silver coin weighing one troy ounce.The silver stated .999. nex't to the Item picture.

Further down the page in a blued out box it say.925 ,25gm.I never seen this box as I had already seen the spec. on this item. After being talked down to insisting THIS IS A PURE ONE OUNCE OF.999 SILVER!! "NO WHERE ON OUR PAGE DOES IT STATE IT IS A OUNCE OR PURE SILVER".

I am reading the page right now ,quote.I checked listing and I was RIGHT. I refused delivery on it when the company only wanted to issue a 10.00 adjustment fee, recorded me without my knowledge until the end of conversation,had to consult a legal team to offer me a 10.00 adjument!! The person I spoke to insigated a arguement . BEFORE EVEN TRYING TO HELP ME THEY HAD TO CONSULT THEIR LEGAL TEAM.

BUYER BEWARE!! When trying to see how many other complaints against them there may be on line I keep finding complaints for "TALISMAN HAUNTED COINS". So this is my experience with this company. I wonder how many people think their coins are a ounce of real silver.999?

VERY bad misleading people "the Typo" has since been changed . Buy your coins elsewhere where customer service still is important!!!
