<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 185912, member: 4552"]Probably in order of quantity I'd say flea markets, garage/yard and estate sales, then coin shows. </p><p>For quality mostly at coin shows. I've tried on line a few times but horribly dissapointed. If you can't see it in person it just may not be what you want. I really feel for those people that do not have the massive access we do around here. We have at least 3 coin shows a month, numerous coin dealers at flea markets, coin shops, stores with coin dealers, hobby stores with coins. However, the best and greatest finds I've ever made were at garage/yard and estate sales. Not estate auctions, but sales like a garage or moving type sail. But one thing is you have to ask about coins. They are never left out. Just got to ask. I once found a jar with about $30 face value of cents. The entire bottom 1/3 was all Indian Cents. None newer than 1955. They wanted face value. I gave them $50.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
