<p>[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 1990971, member: 36248"]My single purchasing experience with Thomas Bush Numismatics (TBN) has shown me that he is a first-rate coin dealer. His website is found here: <a href="http://www.tbnumismatics.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tbnumismatics.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.tbnumismatics.com/</a> .
