Gainsville is a fraud website, they just want to charge 5% on your credit card. Reviewed by Jason W | 14 years ago

they provides faked bank account so you could not make bank wire success. thus they could charge 5% on your credit card according to their terms. when you put an order using bank wire, you will see what I am talking about.

Fool Me Once.... Reviewed by Gainesville Coins review by T. S.. | 14 years ago

I'm not wanting to flame a company, but inform consumers about a major FACT. Gainesville Coins isn't really a new company. Please google "National Gold Exchange, Tampa" - the Yaffe's went bankrupt in a questionable way, hosing lenders to the tune of some 35-50 Million dollars. One of the brothers Mark Yaffe built a 28,893-square-foot mansion for $25 Million and during this time and claimed he didn't know where all the coins were. He used the proceeds to build the mansion and crowned the misdeed by cooking National Gold Exchange's books to conceal the exchange, Sovereign Bank said. Turns out these exact same guys own Gainesville Coins and when the bankruptcy went down they were already running it out of the same location and the court had trouble with what gold/silver belonged to what entity. Today, the store is literally 1 block away from the gate to their home community where he still has his "fraud" Mansion. It's amazing how this type of business exists today when all this information is available online but few have read about it. Tulving is another company that has filed bankruptcy 2+ times and was even charged with fraud by the FTC. Gainesville & Tulving are some of the slime of precious metal world - and again, it's all available online for people to research.

This dealer filed bankruptcy under a former name The National Gold Exchange. Our investigation reveals that many people may have been stuck holding the bag. I suggest you Google the name The National Gold Exchange and read about the connection to this company. http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/national-gold-exchange-inc-of-tampa-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy/1022261 Consumer Beware. This company's staff are so unprofessional and arrogant individuals that it made my skin crawl. Use Kitco.com at least they have no bad history and more reliable in my opinion.

Disaster Reviewed by Chris | 14 years ago

I have ordered from several of the dealers represented on this site. My experience with these guys was by far the worst. I'm not a high maintenance customer, I do A LOT of shopping for A LOT of different things on-line so I know what to expect in most cases. However, if you are going to spend your hard earned money on bullion....pick someone else to buy from. I could go on and on about the time I've wasted and headaches...but I wont. Just do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

Not a great place to buy from Reviewed by A. Buntnel | 14 years ago

Slow ship times and bad customer service. Price is pretty good. But I value other things as well.

TJ Reviewed by TJ | 14 years ago

I've used Gainesville Coins on at least five different occasions to buy coins. The only problem I've ever had was a slight delay in receiving an email. I have always received my the items I purchased in a VERY timely manner.

Customer Review Reviewed by BucsFan | 14 years ago

I want to compliment Gainesville Coins on their very professional staff. I purchased some 1 oz Gold American Eagles for myself as well as a 1/10 oz Gold Eagle that I was giving to my grandson for his Birthday. As I was going through my package I took out the packing material (or what I thought was packing material). The 1 oz Gold Eagles were awesome! My only issue was that I couldn’t find the 1/10 oz coin. I called Gainesville Coins and spoke to one of their reps. At this point I was in a bit of a bit upset but the rep remained calm the entire time and walked me through checking the box again. He suggested I look at what I thought was just packing material which I threw in the trash and sure enough there was a carboard envelope that contained my 1/10 oz eagle! I felt really dumb and what made it worse was that I completely missed the yellow sticker on the envelope that said coins inside. My eyes are not what they used to be! So overall I just want to say a big thank you to Gainesville Coins. A job well done!

I want to compliment the guys at Gainesville Coins. I rolled over my traditional IRA into a precious metals IRA and they did a great job. Very helpful throughout the entire processes and their bullion pricing is excellent. A job well done!
