[QUOTE=National dealer]Here is where your options are only limited by your time.QUOTE]

I've been collecting for over thirty years and this is without a doubt the best time to be a coin collector. Most of my life i've lived in a rural community and the nearest coin dealer was a two hour drive away. Mail order was controlled by a select few companies notorious for charging high retail value for common coins. Had I not lived a few years in a larger city with numerous coin dealers my collection would still consist of a few rolls of wheat ears and a handful of silver.

But the internet has completely changed the landscape. I now have access to literally thousands of sources. A person needs to watch for overgraded and problem coins, as well as overpricing, but that has always been the case. And now a collector has a lot more options when it comes time to resell.
