<p>[QUOTE="bahabully, post: 1077044, member: 17555"]I like TT, and HC, and ebay....and feel each can be used to calculate an honest estimate for a coins worth. It also be my experience (stated with no evidence), that in terms of buying a solid graded coin at a good price with regularity that ebay is the place to get coins... HC and TT just kill the buyer with the buyer's premium. That said, I find that to find those hard to find coins that you "must have", then you can either search ebay for a year to two (weekly at least), or submit and go to HC or TT which tend to have those harder to find coins in nice grade more frequently. My personnal preference for shopping coins:</p><p>* ebay #1</p><p>* HC #2</p><p>* Dealers #3</p><p>* TT #4</p><p>.... there is good and bad in each of them,,, and all the coin buying warnings are applicable to each of them in some degree (i.e. - you should know what your shopping for, how to grade, how to detect fakes, etc...)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
