    That is a really tuff question. The reason is it's sort of like asking what car should I buy, who should I marry, Where should I go on vacation, etc. In other words what works for some, may be horrible for others. I've seen this same question on forums for years. Some try to give or list a on line dealer and then others list reasons what is wrong with that one. On one forum someone almost used a really nasty word for a dealer that someone suggested. Another problem is with many members here you may well be getting a response from an on line dealer and he could possibly be the worst one for you.
    It sure would be nice if there was a permanent post with a list of dealers and a place for votes. Such as a number system of 1 to 5 for 1=bad, 2=average, etc. Then with a hundreds of even thousands of votes we all would have a better idea of an on line dealer. Of course the problem with this is a dealer could just enter his own votes over and over and over.
    So far with my limited experience of on line dealers I've found none I would recommend.

    I've had good experiences with alaskacoinexchange.com. It really depends on what you are looking for.

    It's an easy question really. Do a search in the FAQ/resources section that GD created and a bunch of quality sources will pop up and you can shop at your leisure.

    It depends on what kind and grade you are looking for, what works for one member might not be right for another. i have found that both(cheapslabs.com) and (mintproducts.com) have been fair.
    Let us know how your search turns out.

    I've recently ordered from Alaska coin exchange also with nice results. Fair prices, accurate grading, reasonable shipping, and good service are just my observations.

    Exactly one of the items I was referring to. It sure is an unknown factor of how many here are ON LINE DEALERS. And although some may mention one, possibly many also recommend themselves. Not that this is bad, just that a really bad dealer sure wouldn't say don't use me. And how could you believe a dealer that says we are great, buy from me.
    The problem is what works for one may be a disaster for others. Maybe not but if you follow a suggestion from someone and it is really a bad suggestion, what are you going to do about it. Bring up thier name on your monitor and throw something at it?
    I know I have a rather pessimistic outlook about on line coin dealers but that is due to some of the ones I know that are really horrible. AND then hearing some praise them...
