    Update: fixed 1 bad link (my fault), removed 1 dealer, added "recommended" notation for dealers that I have purchased from

    Super list. I regularly buy from Bozarth and from David Lawrence, and find them extremely reliable. I shall look through my own lists and see if you've missed any, and will PM any that I can find that you haven't hit.

    Definitely, thanks. Bozarth and DLRC are particularly good, I agree. Type Coin Company is also very good, and obviously @Tom B as well.

    Looking now, I think you don't list inventory but provide contact info the dealers and coin shows. Looks like your site will be a good resource, thanks!

    I think this is Doug's list HERE. I am comparing to mine now.

    But lots of dead links, auction companies, and ancient-only coins dealers, so these wouldn't make my list.

    I use that site daily, but it's not a "dealer site", it is more along the lines of eBay AKA, a single site to find coins from many dealers, with advanced searching features.

    Looks like I have my project for this weekend... (grin). Thanks for putting all the work into this list. Plan to go thru it and see if I can add some new sites to check for filling holes in my collection.

    Update: I wrote a script tonight that mines for coin related URLs and collects and stores them in an array, and then writes them to a file in batches of 100. This way I don't have to manually open sites to check if the domain still exits.

    Obviously once I have collected enough, I will have to look through the collected sites by hand to see what's worth keeping.

    Should be interesting to see if I find any NEW sites with this method.

    Well my little script found another 111 new coin sites to review. It searched over 1000 and only found around 200 worth handing to me for further review, 100 of which I already had.

    I'll pour through those tomorrow and expect to only keep around 25 new sites when all is said and done.

    I have now found 850 coin related sites, including many defunct, infected, broken, forgotten, antiquated, useless, and ugly sites.

    slogged through some more, 15 new dealers added!! 167 keepers total.

    I guess my posts are more than 10,000 characters, So I'm breaking them up.

    I just wrote another VB script that web scrapes for coin related domains, this one may produce some keepers.

    Next project once I get my Master List to around 200 Online Dealers, I will mark sites that have easy navigation, as these select sites should be most peoples first stops.
