<p>[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 3625, member: 487"]When looking for a dealer, cheapest should not always be your first search. There are many dealers (not all) that will sell you coins cheaply that have been harshly cleaned or have other problems. When looking for a dealer, look at all aspects of their site. Shipping and handling, returns, and most importantly, guarantees. Also, ask about lower priced coins or group lots in an email to them. As a web dealer, I can tell you first hand it is not always cost effective to list lower priced items. It is not that the dealers do not have them, or sell them. Develope a relationship with your dealer. This will ensure you access to coins that one time customers will never know about. Fill out wantlist forms for the coins that you are looking for in the price range that fits your budget. Local shops and shows are a great place to start searching. Coin clubs are always a wise choice. Asking friends and other collectors is also wise.

Lastly, be patient in your search. Just as with coins, knowledge about your dealer will go a long ways to benefitting you in this hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
