The best? That's sort of a difficult question to ask. There are dealers/sites that specialize in different coins/series. If you could narrow the scope down a little it would help.

For example, if you are looking at Lincoln cents, it's hard to beat:
http://www.thepennylady.com/
http://02a7097.netsolstores.com/offline.aspx (currently on hiatus)
http://www.angeldees.com/
For Indian Head Cents I'd look first at:
http://www.indiancent.com/
http://www.thepennylady.com/
Other sites I visit regularly:
http://www.markfeldcoins.com/
http://www.jjteaparty.com/
http://www.frankcoins.com/
http://www.ldrcoins.com/

These are a few of my favorites there are dozens more, depending on what you're looking for.

Others can add their favorite sites and you'll have a list of top quality people to do business with.

They are fine to buy bullion only, but other than that - forget it.
