    A lot of you guys and gals may know me already, but just in case ...

    My name is Tim Puro and I am a full time coin dealer in Rutland, VT. I mostly concentrate on coins from $5 to $150 and have a web site and a small shop. I set-up at only a few coin shows (Albany, NY and Burlington, VT), but I do try to attend a few national shows a year on buying trips.

    For my personal coin collection, I like coins with exceptional eye appeal. I also keep coins for my collection that I don't typically see in the shop or at the local shows I attend (put aside a nice Charlotte gold coin and a California gold the other day). I also keep all of the pocket pieces, civil war tokens and counterfeit coins I buy.

    I will be mostly a lurker on the list, but I look forward to reading everyone's posts.

    $5 to $150 coins is right up my alley. Too bad I'm way out in Missouri.

    Greetings Tim, I believe (but could be wrong ???) I've purchased from you in the past. No problems and all coins were as advertised. Never-the-less welcome on board. :)

    Hello Tim and welcome to the site.

    I don't believe I"ve ever bought from Tim but have asked questions about his coins in the past. Always got a straight forward and honest reply.

    Gotta believe he tells it like it is.

    Hey everyone - isn't it nice to have a dealer/seller find us and not because we're lambasting them? Certainly a change of pace!

    Thank you for the kind words from everyone!

    I wanted to apologize for posting my web site link in my old signature. I wasn't aware that it was against the rules and have since figured out that cointalk is much more collector oriented (rather than business oriented like other forums).

    I'm happy to be a part of the group and hopefully I'll find some time to post to the group.

    Yes I am a coin dealer ... but I am also a collector.

    Dealers get a bad rap, but there are some good ones out there.
