[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 1142364, member: 27832"]You really ought to start looking on eBay -- your local dealers are ripping you off. I got a bag of 200 dateless Buffalos for $30 shipped -- that's low, but it's easy to find them for $50, which amounts to $10 a roll. (They weren't all dateless, either, as it turns out.) I just did a search for "dateless buffalo" Buy It Now, and there's one listing for 40 coins, one roll, at $12, with free shipping. Lots of folks are selling quite nice rolls of Wheaties around the price you quote, but you can get them under $5 a roll if you buy more -- and while these are probably searched for keys, they still might have a better assortment than what you're finding locally. Anything silver will be way over the Red Book price, but that's silver's fault, not the fault of dealers or publishers. But again, if you search eBay patiently and carefully enough, you can get silver significantly below spot value. If you're shopping for low-grade coins, you have little to lose by using eBay, and potentially much to gain. If your local dealers are charging that much for low-end coins, don't patronize them![/QUOTE]
