Mike , do you want a dealer that srill is working of today or a retired one??

 

Probably still working as of today, but really looking for someone with a decent choice of coins and honest. I'm going to build my collection over the next several years.

Mike...going to send you a private message...OK

 

It looks like I'm in the wrong section here. I wanted to ask a question. If someone could tell me how to ask a question I would appreciate it.
Does anyone know where I can get pricing on Canadian coins? A book or a magazine
like Coin World?

 

Probably in the right section, but an old thread that hasn't seen action since 2017. Go to the top of the page to the Forums tab...Coin Chat would probably be the best one, choose start a new thread (or something like that) give it a title and ask this question, no need to do a poll. I would answer you if I could, but in Coin Chat you will get lots of responses. Good luck and welcome to CT.

 

I'm going to bump this thread. I have a complaint. Why is it that many dealers who advertise in the various numismatic publications either don't have websites, or if they do, they have no means of paying online? Or if they have a website, some of them don't take credit cards? To me, it's a waste of time. If you have a website, enable people to buy and pay online! I've seen some pretty well known dealers that constantly advertise in the magazines that have NO WAY of buying from their websites! Or they don't have websites, period! Needless to say, I won't order from those people...

 

Why aren't there feedback ratings on this site for [private] buyers & sellers?

 

Mostly because buying and selling is DISCOURAGED on this site. See @GDJMSP 's warnings...

 

Really? I had no idea. Why is there a buying and selling subforum then?

 

Also, where's a good place for buying and selling then? TIA

 

Honestly, it's up to you what you do. There is also a swap forum. Rethinking it, an ancient buy/sell isn't a bad idea. The Ancients Forum people seem to be pretty honest, although, given an opportunity, that might change. I have bought from CT members a few times and haven't had a bad experience. Perhaps I should start a thread...

 

That’s a mouthful

 

I passed on to a friend a W quarter that got a 68. I don’t even have gloves at home.

 

Did you find that dealer you liked?
