They're in Midtown Manhattan.
I know that this person has purchased a lot of gold from them but I don't know much about them except they're in business for 57 years.
Here's an old article about them:
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/bullio ... 2010-07-23
"SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Apart from a New York City phone book listing, gold dealer Manfra, Tordella & Brookes, Inc. does no advertising. Lights are on all day because the shop sits in a basement.
Yet MTB, as the firm is known, has never been busier. Every day, people find their way to the Manhattan store with one thing in mind: getting their hands on gold bullion coins, as soon as possible and as much as possible, before the financial Armageddon they fear renders the dollars in their pockets worthless."
"MTB is one of only eight authorized firms in the U.S. able to purchase U.S. Mint bullion coins directly and sell them to coin shops nationwide and abroad. The U.S. Mint does not sell bullion coins to the public, as it does with commemorative and other coins.
In addition to the new swarm of retail customers, MTB saw heightened interest from European coin retailers. "They couldn't find enough coins in Europe, and they were buying from us."
After checking their website, they seem legit and first class, even offering segregated storage services and insurance with direct buying access to the US Mint for bullion coins.
Please let me know how it works out.
