<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8335758, member: 110350&quot;]Exactly! &quot;Most people&quot; wouldn&#039;t go online and search for &quot;coin dealers near me&quot; in the first place if they were interested in buying ancient coins.&nbsp; It&#039;s 2022.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t take long to figure out how few brick and mortar coin stores in the USA specialize in ancient coins, or to find online platforms like VCoins with dealers who are experts in that field. I think I&#039;m being conservative by suggesting that the overwhelming majority of ancient coin purchases by U.S. buyers are made online. And if they&#039;re made in person, they&#039;re far more likely to be made at coin shows and in-person auctions (all of which have an online component anyway) than at retail stores. That&#039;s been true for a long time.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The same is true of world coins and medals: except for what I bought at retail stores during a couple of trips to the UK, I was buying almost all of my British coins and historical/commemorative medals online as long ago as 1999. And before then, I bought them by mail from fixed-price lists issued by dealers who advertised in coin magazines, as well as through mail-bid auctions. Not in person.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
