I've been buying gold for years. Here are my latest thoughts on Gainesville.I purchased 10 (1 ounces) Gold American Eagles on January 31 2023 from Gainesville Coins. Originally the order said it would ship out by March 10th. And you better get a check to them immediately. After they receive it, they require a 10 day holding time. After they received my check and the 10 days went by they then changed my order to be shipped on March 17th. About 2 weeks before the expected shipping date they changed it again claiming due to Covid! With no expected shipping date. Mind you, Banks are collapsing, stock market is crashing and their holding over $19,900 of my money. I called the receptionist and she knew nothing about the Covid problems. I told her I wanted my stuff now and I'm not waiting anymore. The only thing I got from them was a email that said thanks for your patience. At that point I filed a complaint with the BBB and cc it to my attorney. They did ship after they received the complaint.Here's the bottom line.Go on EBay and buy from one of the trusted dealers. i.e. D.B.S.COINS, Bullion Exchanges, Pinehurst, AYDIN or APMEX. These dealers are about $60 a ounce more for American Eagles. But! You can put it on your credit card and if you use a card like I do, that pays 2.75% cash back that's $57 paid back to you.You get your gold fast and secure if you deal with one of these reputable dealers. No more playing the Gainesville waiting game for me! That business does not do that much selling that it takes months to get your stuff. One of these days they'll be sitting on a huge amount of customer cash and next thing you know, the doors will be locked. Its a tell tail sign about what's to come next. I've always got what I ordered from them and always at a fair price, but no more waiting for me. As long as they've been in the Gold business they should know better.
