[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 165922, member: 705"]Well this is kindof normal I would say with some dealers--I'm sorry to say that they don't want "new people"--- The black dots where more than likely carbon spots and as time went on they might have gotten larger and larger---not a good idea---more than likley they were graded and then the spots came up. From what it looks like you are going to need to go with Ebay or something from the US mint. From what it sounds like you have decided to go with a Half Dollar---that is good IMO---I'll check some other places and see what I can find... Here is one that will be auctioned off tonight---its free to sign up and a trusted company-- [url]http://www.teletrade.com/coins/lot.asp?auction=2284&lot=1329&imagetype=j2[/url] The thing with this company as with any good auction company is that they charge a buyers fee---so whatever you bid there will be a 12% added on to that---so if you want to go to $150 then I wouldn't bid over $135--that would make it before shipping something like $151. Then there is this one also--it goes off on SUN. [url]http://www.teletrade.com/coins/lot.asp?auction=2285&lot=1676&imagetype=j2[/url] Here are some more from another company---these are on sale right now so I would say the price is alright--sometimes they overprice their coins. [url]http://www.davidlawrence.com/inventory/Viewitem.cfm?Inventory=177117&CFID=1931988&CFTOKEN=cfa9a98a37620b89-0A4F9E42-2BFC-0A80-302F5227FFAC5C8C[/url] This one is from the Richmond Collection---that really doesn't mean much but it is kindof cool---the guy that put together the Richmond collection had a large collection and when he sold it the coins sold for millions....they put on the gradeing lable that the coins were from that collection... [url]http://www.davidlawrence.com/inventory/Viewitem.cfm?Inventory=177118&CFID=1931988&CFTOKEN=cfa9a98a37620b89-0A4F9E42-2BFC-0A80-302F5227FFAC5C8C[/url] And then there is this one--- Other than that I really don't know any more dealers that have any---all of the ones I've posted have been from trusted and well known dealers---if you decide to look for another type of coin let me know and I'll check again. Hope you find something! Speedy[/QUOTE]
