[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7809340, member: 115909"]I don’t really know any reputable dealers. I collect American pre-WW2 coinage and I go to my LCS for that when I can but he doesn’t have any ancient coins. So mostly I’ve been using HA. I know some people would say I overpay for coins using HA but I’ve gotten offers higher than what I paid for stuff I got there. Like I bought my Athenian Owl for $1560 (that’s including the Buyers Premium) and a few weeks later I got an offer through Heritage offering me $2,363 for it. [ATTACH=full]1341353[/ATTACH] So even though people tell me I’m overpaying I feel like I’m doing well on there. However I am open to buying from other places. I’ve been looking at Stacks & Bowers as well but haven’t bought anything. Idk why I just like slabs. I can’t explain it. As I said I collect pre-WW2 American coinage and I’m sure you know almost all American coinage of value is slabbed. Like this 1799 silver dollar of mine for example. If I posted it in the US coins forum asking “should I crack it out?” I know for a fact people would say “no leave it.” Unless they were just trolling.
