Bacchus I have 3 dealers I work with....
Not trying to ring the bell for any of these folks, but the experience I have had with them has been honest, willingness to work with you, and foremost are truly coin people. I really never do anything on ebay. The relationship I have with these guys is, if they do not have it, they go and get it at local, State and Regional shows.
Again not sure if we are allowed to plug anyones business on this fourm, I am new to it and do not want to step over my bounds. If any of the moderators view this post please let me know if it is ok or not to list a business name as an answer to a fourm question. If it is against policy, I will provide you (Bacchus) with a direct email link so we can discuss.
Regards to all.

Hello GDJ...

Thanks for the input.. I have gathered that opinion but sort of reluctant to recite it. From my understanding the 1/2 oz size coin is the least desireable therefore the lower mintages..if my budget would allow for 1 oz ers.. I would do it all the time. I really like the size of the 1/2 oz and its look...call me weird but to me it just fits better.
Does that make sense?????? I am questioning myself here partners...

Hey GDJ,and Bacchus
Seems as though you may have confused me with someone else that posted a dealer link..twas not I sir...as mentioned I am new here..but thank you for the input on do's and dont's. Sir Bacchus, if you read this there are 3 folks I deal with...here ya go (Thanks GDJ) www,coinfinders.com (Scotty) Nem Mexico, #2 Loop Coin and Jewelery Mobile, Alabama two brothers Judge and Frank, known these great guys for 15 years, Texoma Coins another great guy named Ken. All these folks have worked with me and even given discounts when paying cash...no credit card fees equal small disount..better than most I suppose. Other than that I have only dealt with coin show dealers from time to time.
What I have found that works good for me is to build a relationship with these folks and let them know your interest...it builds from there. Good luck and good hunting!! Howdy Ose Amigo's

 

RickieB,

Thanks very much for sharing your resources. Lynn seems to be drying up, so I prowled around a bit online today and found this source that looks promising:

http://apmex.com/shop/shop_gold.asp?orderid=0#10

but I haven't done business with them.

I'll take a look at the ones you suggested.

Thanks again.

 

This is no "metal off my overse" GDJ...no need for an apology, I for one appreciate your comments pro or con. I remember back in the 80's when I was doing world gold mostly Chinise, US and some other smaller Countries...did pretty well in most things but have since shifted focus to rebuilding the collection with ~ 90% US. In all forms of the word collection, it is for my young son for years into the future ahead of him.
I still dabble a bit in Pandas, Leafs and an occasional Kangaroo,,the latest foreign coin I have added was the 2004 Panda (Palladium) only 8K minted. With the general Chinise population now having the right to own precious metals and pd's low price compared to years past..I thought there would be some future upward potential. So do you concentrate your world gold in any particular area, or do you mix it up? What do you see as promising for your efforts? Take care Sir, hope to run into you one day....

 

Thanks Bacchus...checked out the site. For what it's worth..some times when going thru a metals exchange business there can be a loss of personal relationship type service, not saying that this is the case with that site, (I have never done business with them before) but I can pretty much count on a raw coin from sources as being right on to what I asked for concerning grade.I That my friend is a real edge... I did notice many slabs listed there as well, which is a good thing.

 

I avoid slabs because I don't see a reason to pay the premium on coins with virtually no collector markup (except for your 1991 !). One site I found that sells slabs is Cameo CC (I have no experience with them, either):

http://www.cameocc.com/webdocs/catalog.aspx

I trust my little Acculab scale to verify the coins are real gold:

http://www.amosadvantage.com:80/scottonline/productgroup.asp?category=SCLE&part_no=&Tab=c

although if I had it to do over again, I would probably get a scale that ammo reloaders use to measure out gunpowder. The range is shorter (maybe 1.5 oz maximum versus 7 oz for the Acculab) but the precision is finer (1 grain versus 0.1 grams). 1.5 oz is plenty for any coin that I buy.

I bought a coin on one web site and after I received it I discovered it wasn't the year that I ordered; it was a year that I already had in my collection. A local dealer swapped it for another year for me, so it worked out ok ... that time.

Most of the online dealers whose sites I've seen seem to sell the AGEs as bullion; that is, they don't indicate what year will be on the coin (probably a 1999).

 

Thanks for info.. I will check it out...

 

Here ya go Bacchus.. tell Ken I sent ya over.http://kenschlosser-coins.bigstep.com/category.html?UCIDs=1230620

 

Thanks, RickieB.

And, when I stated that most online dealers sell AGEs as bullion, I should have stated that most online metal exchanges sell AGEs as bullion. The coin dealers who sell AGEs online seem to sell by year.

 

Agreed Bacchus..you can also try a guy out of New Mexico www.coinfinder.com his name is Scotty..on vacation until the 30th..nice coins from him...
