I will also vouch for him. He has been very professional and released his private info to prove his identity.
He also has alot of new things in the works that would be put at risk by messing with the inventory he has sold. I have not seen any signs he would do anything like that.
Any physical coin there is that risk but many of these vendors like Gravitate do everything they can to alleviate concerns.

Dear Gravitate,

The idea of a physical coin is attractive, but how can we know that you cannot spend the bitcoins that you put on the physical coins that you sell us? You are the original creator/owner of the original private key(s) that you engrave on the physical coins, so it is conceivable that you could store those keys will and later spend those bitcoins yourself (assuming not spent yet, but most will buy these to save and not spend the btc).

quote from buyphysicalbitcoins site:
"I also have covered the coded private key with a security sticker that states the Bitcoin address and your unique Physical Bitcoin Number which will be added to the register of all coins sold. I work alone and once the code is engraved on the Physical Bitcoin is deleted. The only details I keep about the coin are the bitcoin address and the simple equation of how to read the private key on the back (this is in case you forget)."

Thank you,

Daddyhutch

Agreed, trustworthyness is good.

And this is a great service for a physical coin.

Hardcore types can go unloaded route too I suppose.
