I'm not sure if this question is even allowed, so bear with me moderators. What I was wondering was, where do you buy your coins online? As stated in another thread, my town has one dealer with no competition for miles. Hence, I do a lot of my buying online. I deal with one guy mostly, who's got decent prices and great service. But, are you allowed to name your favorite online/mailorder dealers? I want to get an idea of where the more experienced folks shop, and I want to keep my guy honest.

Although they sell from their store and online I've found L&C Coins very reasonable. http://www.lccoins.com/oscommerce/ I also like to buy from The Reeded Edge. http://www.reedededge.com/numismatic...coins_home.htm   01-28-2008, 08:55 PM   #11 (permalink) Ed Goldman coin collector   Join Date: Oct 2006 Posts: 839 JJ Teaparty...Ever been to there store. You have to ring a bell to get in, and then they only let one customer in at a time in. Inside it looks like a junk shop. There good stuff is not in the store or atleast in front.   01-28-2008, 08:58 PM   #12 (permalink) Ed Goldman coin collector   Join Date: Oct 2006 Posts: 839 Back in the 50's & 60's I bought my coins at Stack's on 57th st in NYC. I can't afford them anymore. When I bought there, they were the best in the country by far. Back in the 50's I had a charge account with them. They would mail me coins, and I would sometimes buy one or two, and send back the rest Last edited by Ed Goldman; 01-28-2008 at 09:23 PM.   01-28-2008, 09:14 PM   #13 (permalink) mark_h Numismatist     Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 7,446 Everybody has mentioned dealers I look at except these two - www.vtcoins.com, http://www.harlanjberk.com/unitedstatesco/cnus.asp. Yeah I know of few of you all do not like Harlan, but I have had good success with the coins they offer, real nice customer support. And there are probably some specialty dealers too if you are interested in certain things - like large cents. I like to browse all of them and look for the best prices. __________________ the other mark 2nd Annual CoinTalk Fundraiser: Official Thread!
