[QUOTE="National dealer, post: 5926, member: 487"]welcome to the forum miaione, If you buy in bulk, you will not be getting the choicest material. Now most of us (dealers) sell most 90% silver to customers in bulk, but I can guarantee most has been picked through. Indian Cents, Buffalo Nickels, and Liberty Nickels are processed the same way. Now with that said. It is difficult for online dealers to list all of their merchandise. There just isn't time. It is also not very cost effective to list lower priced items. Find a few dealers and start building a relationship with them. Ask them what kind of material can be bought in bulk or by the roll. You can easily build a relationship without buying. Start with emails and phone calls. Be very specific in what you want and the price range you are looking for. A great place to look for dealers would be for you to purchase the 2004 Numismatic Dealers Guide. [url]http://greysheet.com/cdn/98ndd.asp[/url] This book is a fantastic tool every collector should have. I do not leave home without it. Now buying on Ebay is fine. The biggest issue that I have with Ebay is that the vast majority of people selling coins are not dealers. Many people get ripped off and really have no way of settling the matter. I recommend that you only deal with coin dealers that are members of the ANA or PNG. Of course this is just a personal opinion.[/QUOTE]
