<p>[QUOTE="Cinderella Man, post: 935384, member: 26221"]In my opinion eBay is a good place to buy coins, if you know what to look for. Buying a slabbed coin graded by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, or ICG can almost always guarantee a legitimate purchase. Another way to buy is buy from a merchant that sells many many coins at a time that has a high feedback rating and takes amazing pictures. One name that I recall is GSC (greatsoutherncoins). This dealer takes great pictures and sells great coins. Other than that I would avoid almost ALL slabbed coins from 3rd tier grading parties and from amatuer sellers as they might have over-graded a LOT and/or not providing you with the adequate information in order to fully understand EXACTLY what you are getting. If you went to a coin shop/dealer, they will most likely let you examine whatever coin you wish to purchase before you hand over the cash, you may pay more at a dealer but this way you know EXACTLY what you are getting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
