<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 552823, member: 4552"]Depending on where you live you may want to check out coin shows. I always recommend going to at least one coin show and look around, ask questions, get to know the dealers. Try Google for a list of coin shows in your area. Also, if your near other states, you may want to try them for coin shows also. As I said get to know the dealers. You could ask them to get you any coin you want and usually they will comply if they know your serious. many dealers travel around the country to other shows so they have a better chance of finding something than you might imagine. Also, no handling, postage, insurances, lost in mail stories, etc like on ebay or other web sites. </p><p>Not that there is anything wrong with many on line dealers. However, I really like to see what I'm buying in person. </p><p>Another thing to try is check out for local coin clubs. You may want to join one if there are any in your area. Might find a better deal from fellow members of a club.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
