<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cringely, post: 1930215, member: 22271&quot;]For the early copper (half and large cents), deal <i>only</i> with reputable copper specialists. Chris McCawley, Greg Hannigan, Tom Reynolds, Doug Bird, etc. (this is not a complete list, but just a listing of some dealers I have bought from in the past and will continue to do so in the future). All of these dealers go to major shows. I almost never buy slabbed early copper because all of these dealers <i>will</i> stand behind their coins. If you can&#039;t make any of the shows where you might run into any of them, check their websites (Bird doesn&#039;t have one, but can be contacted by phone-google him to get the number).</p><p>You might also consider the Ira &amp; Larry Goldberg auctions.</p><p>One last piece of advice—don&#039;t buy any &quot;details&quot; or problem coins; when it comes time to sell or upgrade, you&#039;ll never get your $$ back.</p><p>If you&#039;re going to be at next week&#039;s Long Beach coin show, private message me and I&#039;ll try to set up some introductions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
