And it&#039;s not hard to do nor does it take a long time. All you have to do is pick 2, 3, or a half dozen, trusted &amp; respected dealers and tell them what it is you want to do. And they will be all to happy to accommodate you.</p><p><br /></p><p>The are several advantages to doing that. First of all, especially with slabbed coins, it is far easier for a dealer to locate an example you want than it is for you to locate one by yourself. Quite often they can do it in a matter of hours, whereas you may spend days, weeks, or even months looking for a particular coin. And since most dealers know the market better than most collectors they can pick and choose not only for best quality for the grade, but best quality for the price as well. And for their regular customers, they will usually give you a discount. This can save you a good bit of cash.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another advantage is that the dealers all act as your eyes &amp; ears, they do after all work for you. With all the shows they go to &amp; all the auctions they attend in person, they get to see the coins in hand while all you generally get see is a picture. And I think we all know what the dangers of pictures are.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just about any way you look at it using trusted and respected dealers is a win win proposition, for both you and them. Not taking advantage of such a system seems to defy all logic to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
