<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 3051287, member: 74282"]You've got a lot of great advice in this thread, but one thing I'll add is that I definitely recommend introducing yourself and having a discussion about your collecting interests with dealers you encounter if time permits. If a dealer asks you to sign a receipt, write your collecting interests and email or phone number on it even if not asked(I usually put "[name] RR bronze/silver email"). I've been able to purchase some excellent RR bronzes over the past few years simply because I've gotten to know the dealers I frequent both online and at shows and many of them know the sort of collection I'm trying to build and that I regularly buy bronzes.</p><p><br /></p><p>There's one dealer that has no online presence but is still willing to email me pictures of RR bronzes he gets in every few months and even a few Vcoins dealers who regularly notify me that coins will be going up on Vcoins in a few hours and occasionally the coins are the sort of rarities that probably would have been snapped up by others had I not known when to look for them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

I've been able to purchase some excellent RR bronzes over the past few years simply because I've gotten to know the dealers I frequent both online and at shows and many of them know the sort of collection I'm trying to build and that I regularly buy bronzes. There's one dealer that has no online presence but is still willing to email me pictures of RR bronzes he gets in every few months and even a few Vcoins dealers who regularly notify me that coins will be going up on Vcoins in a few hours and occasionally the coins are the sort of rarities that probably would have been snapped up by others had I not known when to look for them.[/QUOTE]
