<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Peter T Davis, post: 916, member: 1&quot;]Yep, I was going to say that trading is one of the better ways to get coins.&nbsp; I&#039;ve traded personally with a few of the people who come to this site, and it&#039;s always been a pleasure.&nbsp; Helps build good relationships, and increases your knowledge and doesn&#039;t hurt the pocketbook so much as buying.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m especially wary of coins I buy on Ebay.&nbsp; Unless it&#039;s someone I know, I&#039;ll buy only slabbed and from someone who takes credit card payments.&nbsp; Slabbed to minimize the grading disputes, and credit card to allow me the chance to charge back if the seller never send the coins.&nbsp; Don&#039;t fool yourself that Paypal payments protect you either, they do not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dealers are great, where you can trust them.&nbsp; Don&#039;t go to the cheapest dealer, you&#039;ll get the cheapest coins.&nbsp; Find a good dealer who specialized in the area you&#039;re collecting and stick with them.&nbsp; Virg Marshall, for example, if you like Lincoln cents.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin shows are even better.&nbsp; We have a few of them each month in my area.&nbsp; I don&#039;t get to them all, but usually go at least once a month.&nbsp; Buying coins is only part of it, you get to meet some really nice people with the same interest as you (coins).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
