[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 234979, member: 112"]Yeah, same one that has been around since the beginning. You establish a relationship with a dealer - or even better two or three in various parts of the country. Then when there is an auction with coins you want you find which dealer will be attending that auction, tell him your max bid amount, and let him buy the coins for you. Other option is you contact the auction house and bid by phone. Now you can suit yourself, I'm not trying to tell you what to do - I'm just providing information. But it's accurate information - I personally know of over 100 people who have been burned in the exact manner I described by trying to bid in live ebay auctions. That's just the ones I know - there are plenty of others. In this day of ebay and internet auctions there is something that all too many coin collectors have forgotten - and that is that a good coin dealer is your very, very best friend. edit - by the way, if you want high quality Portuguese rupees I could probably put you in touch with at least 3 dealers who could find them for you.[/QUOTE]
