[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1110077, member: 112"]I'll agree with you that there are plenty of bad coin dealers out there. But there are plenty of good ones too. And while they may not be in the same town as you, that doesn't mean that you can't deal with them. When I was still collecting I bought fully 99% of my coins from dealers that were in a different town than I was, or at coin shows. Yeah I bought some stuff on ebay too, even a few from Amazon. But they were few and far between. Not for a lack of searching though. I used to spend 2-3 hrs searching ebay and other web sites every single day. And did it for years ! You want to know the real secret to putting together a nice collection - establish a relationship with a half dozen dealers. They do all the work for you. And you'll get far better material at more reasonable prices than you ever will on ebay. Usually, for less than on ebay. No offense Mr. Coin, but you just need to deal with better dealers. And if you don't know any, then you just tell me what you coins you want and I'll tell you what dealers to contact ;)[/QUOTE]
