Two on the previous list I have done business with and continue to do so. They are "mesacoin.com" and "dave the collectors friend". Very happy with both.

Man Oh Man Penney guy, that's quite a list.
Millers Mint I've dealt with in the brick and mortar sense and, well, lets just say they lack in people skills. Your on-line experiance may be better. Mint products is a company that I've ordered many bullion products from and I've never been dissatisfied. Shipping can be slow though. J J Teaparty...those guys are still around? I ordered stuff from them when I was a kid.

However, she has some gorgeous Indians and Lincolns.

it is a cool auction site with lots of coins
dealt with several of the dealers on the list above, what series/type of coins are you looking for, that may help narrow down the dealer recommendations.

What type and denomination are you looking to buy? That would probably be the best way to start. Face it most of these businesses are generally collectors gone businessperson and they have a favorite and most likely specialize in them. That should narrow it down plenty for you. With more limited resources (cash) it is pretty hard to collect everything, unless you are a dealer and even then, most have specialties and favorites.

I should also recommend american gold exchange ( www.amergold.com), their prices are a bit high, and they are geared for investors, but I've bought coins from them and been satisfied (mostly world bullion). APMEX is another good wholesaler, good prices, big variety, they recently upgraded their pre '33 gold too. I bought a generic 1901-S 5 dollar liberty from them in a PCGS slab, gorgeous coin with a nice orange skin. I guess i got lucky, but I recommend them.
Above all else though, I recommend mark feld. This man really cares about people. He wouldn't sell me a coin I really wanted because he wanted the best for me...it takes a certain kind of person to turn down money for your coin for your well being. After I talked to him, he ended up selling it to me. It's my 1834 classic head...I did a trade in (20 dollar generic liberty) and a check to get it...well it turns out he sells the $20 and instead of pocketing the profits (which he is entitled to) ends up writing me a check for the profit he made.
He has some VERY nice eye appealing coins, ex-NGC grader to boot. Good guy. www.markfeldcoins.com |
