Mike Fuljenz is one of the best people I have ever known. The salespeople are great. The GM is truly blessed to have such good people working for him.
Nothing but DELIGHTED with their business model! Prices are more than fair, and they always have what Im looking for. Pleased with quality of shipping as packaging was first-rate. UCB is permanently saved to my bookmarks! (Naperville, IL)
Okay after three times of trying to get my coins sent to the correct address I finally got them so I upgraded my review it would have been higher if the coin they said they sent extra would have been included but it wasnt..
Ordered silver coins for gifts after seeing their ad in a magazine I support. Couldnt gift any as almost all had bad abrasions, rub and wear marks, looked pitiful. Called the company three times, left messages with their phone service, wont return calls. Will never order from them again.Update: I see theyre advertising again with the NRA. I never was able to get anyone to answer my calls. Finally gave up on exchanging the damaged coins they sold me. Not worth the hassle. Try money metals dot com in Idaho. Great service, news articles, excellent on line dealer.
A sales associate called today and was super friendly and wanted to let me know about a deal they were having. You have to respect the effort of trying to sell from a cold call. I used to have to do it for my old job. Its super tough. I let them know I was not interested at the time. He wasnt pushy, super cheerful and respectful, told me no worries and to have a great day. That goes a long way with me. Not being to pushy when selling the product. I buy from them every year at the Annual NRA Meetings. And will keep doing so. I really like buying from them. Your team is great to buy from. Last few NRA meetings I went with my dad and they treated him wonderfully. We ended up purchasing a few coins from them.
UCB has great friendly customer service and support. I was impressed at how knowledgeable the guy I work with is about coins and bullion. He was always eager to help with my questions. Their prices are some of the best out there. Very easy to work with and you know who to call that is handling for you - which is great. I hate it when i cant get to anyone who can help in these big companies. They seem to want to make me happy. Glad to be in good hands as they say.
They had good prices on the coins I wanted, free shipping to me, and they shipped me beautiful coins in the grade I ordered. Polite professional service.
Great company! I have been buying coins from Universal Coin & Bullion for about 10 years and have been quite happy with my purchases. I like them because I buy a lot of my coins on line and the inventory and pricing that Universal Coin & Bullion has is excellent. I know my orders will arrive as they fully insure them and follow up to make sure I got them. They have “real people” who answer the phone and respond back quickly if you email them. They are one of the old coin companies that have been around for many years and that makes me feel safe when I think about selling my coins back to them. Bottom line, great coin company to do business with.
Great company to do business with. Prices are exceptional for small volume purchaser. Never had a problem with my orders and usually a 2 week turnaround when paying by check.
Great for small purchases under 500$. Excellent service! No issues and everything was perfect upon delivery.
I have dealt with Universal Coins for a little over 4 years now and have been quite happy. They have treated me with nothing but professionalism and integrity and have taught me about coins along the way. I have spoken to Mike Fuljenz several times and have been quite pleased to hear his knowledge and enthusiasm for coins. Simply put, he is one of the best in the business! I plan to continue to deal with Universal Coins for many years to come. A+ Highly Recommended!
I have been a customer of Mike Fuljenzs Universal Coin and Bullion since 1999 and have had an exceptional experience. Mike has personally reviewed all of my coin purchases and updates their values anytime that I ask. I appreciate Mike and his teams knowledge and professionalism. They have put me in the right coins at the right time to achieve my long term goals. I highly recommend you talk to these reputable experts in precious metals before making a purchase.
Horrible Shamy very used car sales feel. I attempted to cancel an order prior to it being shipped. First sign of the B.S. was I had to wait on hold for my broker, really? ... Im just trying to cancel an order. Well after waiting for 5-10 minutes I was hung up on. The broker called me back and told me I must have hung up. Once I spoke with the broker he told me the order already shipped. Interesting thing though, never received an email with tracking number. I can here the broker typing away on a keyboard while Im trying to cancel the order. I got angry at the shenanigans hung up on the broker the broker called my phone 7 times after I hung up on them and when I wouldnt answer tried to block his number and call. DO NOT USE the NRA is why I tried this company Im going to write them an email about this also.
Universal Coin & Bullion can be trusted to deliver a quality product at competitive pricing. They also have an outstanding commitment to educating the client and customer satisfaction. This recommendation is based on over 15 years of doing business together.
I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Mike Fuljenz for over 20 years. Not only is Mike a leader in the industry, he is a well respected leader in the community. I would recommend Universal Coin and Bullion to everyone. Great prices and exceptional service.
Looking to invest in precious metals and collectible gold coins? I highly recommend talking with Mike Story!!The way I ran into this company of high professionals is through the NRA Magazine. Been seeing them in it for several years. Recently after doing some personal research and hearing other leaders talk about gold as a good hedge agains the coming printed Fiat currency dip or coming inflation or even a potential dollar collapse I figured I need to take the educated risk and invest in gold.After calling and leaving a message with UCB I had Mike call me back promptly. He sent me material about their history and expertise in the industry.Some of the most critical info I learned from Mike which I consider key intel when making any educated decision was the hedge and higher value that rare or limited collectible coins provide when gold goes up and and even when it drops. In a dip rare coins have less price drop effect on evaluation, that sounds like the best strategy I could ask for in the precious metals market!Mike also explained how they buy coins back which creates a long term relationship that helps get a fare price when selling to cash in.And perhaps the last peace of intel that I considered to be valuable is the security behind buying through UCB! They check all coins for counterfeit before they acquire and provide a 30 day money back guarantee! How can you get scammed given these facts??Recently Mike has given me great feedback about the current coin demands with limited supply. This turkey helps have a peace of mind!I bought 12 rare coins so fare! I’m delighted to be able to say this; I have a trustworthy friend in the Coin and Bullion industry, I feel he has my back!Thank You Mike Story!! God Bless you and Universal Coin and Bullion!
Universal Coin and Bullion and Mike Fuljenz are great to work with!!! Mr. Fuljenz’s knowledge of the coin world is unlike any other. A great company, a great man!!!
I purchased two $20 gold coins 6 years ago. I needed to resell them due to medical bills. No one would speak to me about this or call me back. I paid $6000 for the two coins and ended up selling them locally for just over $2000. Not happy at all. The last time I will ever purchase gold. But then Social Security doesnt go far enough to buy gold.
UCB customer service is excellent!!! Great information provided for making an educated decision on purchasing!
Universal Coin & Bullion possesses an in-depth knowledge of the gold and silver markets that is simply unparalleled for bringing true peace of mind when investing in precious metals. These precious metals markets are such that UCBs expertise becomes a godsend assisting me when choosing rare coins and bullion that will mean security for me and my heirs. Without the UCB staff insights, I would be on unsteady ground when selecting investment gold and silver. I highly recommend UCB and the staff...professional, courteous, knowledgeable and prompt delivery...theyre the best!!
Ive dealt with Mike Fuljenz for more than 30 years as a journalist, hobbyist and friend, and Ive found him to be highly knowledgeable, extremely reputable and unfailingly reliable in his support of causes that have bettered the state of the coin hobby and the interests of collectors. He is truly as good as gold.
Ive known Mike Fuljenz over 30 years. What sets him apart from other rare coin dealers, in my view, is his commitment to education. He has published many award-winning books on rare coins, including his recent Double Eagles: 1877-1907 (2nd edition), which contains several wonderful human-interest stories that make history come alive. He also helps the public and law enforcement agencies protect consumers from counterfeit products and scam artists. I have owned rare coins (some from him, some from others) for over 35 years. It is a long-term investment, not a get-rich-quick scheme. Investors need top-quality information, and Mike consistently provides that.
Probably the best place to buy coins and bullion. My experience with them has been excellent.
I am an actual consumer who has had extremely bad encounters with Universal. Before you buy from Universal, read Houston Presss article, Texas coin companies target elderly investors. Here are the reasons why I distrust all of Universals five star reviews: all were posted within the last 47 days, all are the lone reviews posted by the users, all have icon photos (over 90% of Google accounts do not), all use the same standard marketing phrases, each was posted on the accounts starting date, and all gave five stars and look like ads more than sincere reviews. But I suspect that additional rave reviews might be added -- without the above flaws -- after this review is posted. And expect Google to delete this honest review because Universal advertises on their site. I have taken screen shots of this review and will be sending it to several national media consumer reporters if it gets deleted.
During my dealings with them I have always received quality customer service and above expected levels of care.
They have the most experienced people working with them and the products are really good.
All of my experiences with Universal Coin and Bullion have been nothing less than excellent. A++
Just discovered that my 95 year old grandfather has been buying coins from Joshua Baldwin of Universal Coin the past several years and has been defrauded out of over $500,000. He was sold gold coins that aren’t worth 50% of the actual value. I’ve contacted the Texas Attorney General.
Do NOT trust this dealer.He targets older people and tricks them into buying his inventory at high prices. My Dad was screwed over by this dealer real bad and when I looked into this dealers claims about his coins he tricked my father into buying I found he is a con. Do your research before buying any coin or bullion snd you will see this dealer is NOT TRUST WORTHY.
I have been an investigative reporter for 20-years in the Beaumont area and have the pleasure of calling Mike Fuljenz, of Universal Coin & Bullion, my friend. He has assisted me on numerous stories, including one series of undercover investigations that helped lead to the shutdown and federal investigation of one of the largest fraudulent gold-buying operations in the country.Mike Fuljenz has done more to help people victimized by unscrupulous coin dealers than anyone else I know. He is extremely active in his local community and considered the goto professional by local law enforcement in cases where people have been ripped off by shady coin dealers.I have travelled to numerous coin shows, and watched, as he received multiple awards for his work in the industry. As well, I have seen him receive accolades for his work in promoting literacy among children and helping fund programs for the underprivileged.If anyone has further questions about my personal, or professional, knowledge of Universal Coin & Bullion or Mike Fuljenz, please contact me. I have no problem providing you with my personal number because I stand by what I have written above.Thank you,Jerry JordanEditorSETINVESTIGATES
I was told coins would need a signature- there was no indication of such a requirement on the package delivered by the mailman- it was just put on top of the mailbox.Security breakdowns like that shouldnt happen...
Top Rate. Honest trustworthy !!!
