I was on vacation in Texas for a week last month (June 2010). I made a walk in visit to Austin Rare Coins to purchase my first Gold Buffalo with them. I was happy with their service though at first the lady who met me there referred me to buy gold coin thru a local gun shop which also sells gold coins. I insisted in seeing a dealer there and I met a young man named Ryan. I told him i am from Micronesia and I am interested to buy a Gold Buffalo. Ryan was very professional and very helpful. I will continue to do business with Austin Rare Coins.
