    Morning all,
    Just wondering if anyone had any experience buying from the online store above?
    The company is trading as 'Mcleod Limited Mintage'.

    Thanks!

    Can't see too many reviews for many coin shops, if you are worried, then don't buy from them mate :) If you are into numismatics there are plenty of places to buy, just walk into a coin shop and develop a rapport with the owner. Or you could ask members on this forum - some of them buy numismatics then decide at a later stage to get out of them.

    Looks like they have been around a while though, if you live in perth it might pay to drop in - while you're there have a chat with him about the listing description for his 1946 florin.

    Still, a 1946 Florin with 92.5% silver content at $14 is a bargain. Should be priceless - if you get my drift.

    PS - if you don't get my drift DON'T BUY IT :)

    I bought something a few months ago and all was fine. The online catalogue probably is not up to date though. I would email your enquiry first or phone. I think it is just online though, not walk in - we have almost nowhere in Perth to walk in and buy. The odd antique dealer and a couple of others, but that'd be about it.

    I've bought from there before. One thing was not in stock so I think the catalogue isn't entirely up to date. I actually picked it up in person.

    after being tipped off by lunarowl in regards to where i could find a 2006 lunar dog I went to the mcleod website and found the dogs I wanted. I then had the foresight to search this forum first before pressing buy. I have been ringing the numbers for the last 3 days and emailed them twice.. what kind of store does not answer your calls or email you back? This has certainly put the brakes on for me to deal with this store. Any thoughts from the Stackerazzi?

    They take a while to reply, they are legit though so don't worry.

    They also don't update the stock on their website regularly so... :)

    Patience I guess.
