<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 34684, member: 66&quot;]Hawkeye, it really depends on what you are looking for.&nbsp; Common coins like Franklin halves are probably not a good item (Except for the super high end pieces.) becaus they are readily available at coin shops or shows.&nbsp; For other items eBay is about the only venue.&nbsp; I collect Conder tokens and even at a large show I am unlikely to find more than one to two dozen pieces&nbsp; (At a sixty dealer show last week end I found four.)&nbsp; On eBay at any given time there are ninety to a hundred pieces or more, and many of the tougher ones are often in the hands of British sellers that I would never run into here in the US.&nbsp; Other items I look for are also seldom found in dealers shops or shows (Notgeld coins, large cent die varieties, capped bust half dimes by variety) and eBay works well for me there as well.&nbsp; Yes you do ave to watch the shipping charges, but not everyone charges unreasonble rates.&nbsp; So if you are looking for relatively available coins just ignore the high shipping sellers.&nbsp; You WILL find the same coins with more reasonable shipping from others.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
