Where do you buy your pre-1850 European silver coins

I mostly collect pre-1859 Italian and Sicilian silver coins and I've had the best luck for variety and price on American and Italian eBay. I very rarely see any of these coins at coin shows here in Calif.

I'm curious where the rest of the members find their 1800's European silver coins.

Hello, I randomly found this pretty 1850-P Anchor Sicilian on Ebay yet can't find many others.

Nice Northern Italian 5 lire crown, 25 grams of 83.3 silver They say Sardinia , but they were minted in Genova and Torino. If the coin has an anchor on the reverse it was minted in Genova and if it has a eagle's head it was minted in Torino

 

serafino - thank you. I like the distinct portraits and they don't seem as common in higher grades. This is non core for me yet I can see why folks view Italian coinage in the highest regard.
