Investment Rarities Inc

I purchased silver and gold US coins from Investment Rarities in the 1980's, over a 5 year period, so I did not make purchases all at once, and avoided short term price spikes. As of 2011 to 2012, even with record metal prices, all the coins would be sold at a loss. Investment rarities slabbed coins back in the 1980's ( copying NGC and PCGS) and when I resubmitted coins to NGC and PCGS, all the coins purchased from Investment Rarities were overgraded, and way way overpriced! The owner, Jim Cook deceives and misleads with all his fiscal right wing banter. Read his posts. You can't find a more sanctimonious, self righteous hypocrite, who bashes everyone outside his precious metal scam. Bottom Line, you lose when you deal with Investment Rarities. more

I am writing this review on feb. 22, 2012. Fourteen months ago I called Investment Rarities to ask some questions about some gold coins I had. I was referred to ""Demitri"" who informed me that the company thought gold was overvalued at 1200 an ounce, and that silver! was the way to go from there. Tremendous gains! perfect timing on my part! Like a fool I eventually sent them 49,000 worth of gold for supposedly an equal value worth of silver...... not... I received 38,000 worth of silver! This was after many many calls...... lots of runaround.... I eventually got worried they would just keep everything....... So gold is now 1750.00 an ounce, and I havent even broken even on the silver....They still send their worthless newsletter telling everyone that silver is going to skyrocket!! What a bunch of crap... Obviously I was a fool...... but maybe I can help someone else not be one....... Cal more
