<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7807236, member: 19463&quot;]My favorite coin source is small dealers who set up at shows.&nbsp; My family has instructions as to which ones to contact when I pass.&nbsp; Finding the ones that are good fits is important.&nbsp; I collect ancients.&nbsp; I have no interest in a dealer who specializes in coins I have spent in my lifetime whether or not they are Mint State.&nbsp; Many of my coins have come from these same show dealers who bought &#039;grandpa&#039; collections from family.&nbsp; If the politicians succeed in stopping import of coins, big sellers might be more interested in junky little collections like mine.&nbsp; The important thing is finding a good fit for buying and selling.&nbsp; We have people here who only buy slabs and people who would not touch one for longer than it took to crack it out.&nbsp; They utilize different paths both buying and selling.&nbsp; I have a friend whose average coin is over $1000 and another whose entire collection would not be that much.&nbsp; The first will have an easier time selling on consignment.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For people here on Coin Talk, one decent source are the dealer members of our group.&nbsp; One (John Anthony) runs regular auctions of coins in his area of interest (ancients that do not cost thousands). Others have lists; a few have VCoins shops or stand alone websites with offerings in the $10 to $10,000 range.&nbsp; Find your best fit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
