Does anyone know a place to buy coins cheap?

I guess it really depends on what type, grade, price range you are looking for. If you are going for cheapest prices, then I'd assume you are not going for rare dates and slabbed items. I'd do an internet search and compare prices on the category you are going to buy into.

And you can find the cheapest stuff coming from china :devil:

 

Yeah, that goes for automotive parts, appliances, toys, or anything plastic for that matter. I better stop now...

 

Lol. Plastic + a sprinkling of lead.

 

Yard sales!!!!

 

Yes, yard sales can have good deals. But, you may have to hit a hundred of them sometimes just to find something worth making an offer on.

 

The pawn shop next to the ANA Money Museum.

What do you collect? I collect large cents and find ebay to be an amazing place to find deals. You have to have the knowledge to know what is good, and the time to sieve through the junk, but their are some great large cents on ebay where the seller has no idea what they have.

Just last month an EAC guy bought the discover coin of a new variety on ebay for $17...

 

Contradiction?

I never see fighting over a Buy It Now listing. That's the idea of BIN, no bidding or bidder fighting.

They're everywhere, just have to shop around.

 

The fighting over BIN items you'll never see unless you do it yourself. Basically you do a search on ebay, open the first few BIN items that are priced great and try to buy them, almost always someone else has bought them up already. You are basically looking for people who either price the item too low because of lack of knowledge, or just wanting to get rid of it immediately. I've done this on junk silver but never got a good buy, all sold too quick.

Wut?

 

Four year old thread.

 

Hey, at least the poster kept it on topic.

 

Yard Sales are good but few have anything in relation to coins. And when someone is selling their selling their blackened Trade Dollar .. lol Though I've bought quite a bit from yard sales even though the sellers were keeping their good stuff.

Estate Sales i'm finding out check their prices and don't give any great deals anymore.

I've bought from a couple online places going out of business but you have to check their "sale" price against the open market price to find out if it actually is a good deal.

You can go to the bank and buy 50cent or dollar coins/rolls and rummage through them. They usually have $2 bills if you like those too.

I need to go to coin shows one of these days .. or maybe not, it might cost me too much.

Thanks for the 2 online links previously.

 

Why would I give away my secrets?

Ok, I'll give you 1 secret place I buy coins.

I can literally buy as much as I have cash for at the bank! I get all coins at face value, regardless of melt value!

 

Define cheap.

 

All I do is look in the mirror...

 

I like eBay. If you are careful and have the time to look, you will find good buys.

There's no place on earth that sells more collector coins than eBay.
