[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 2952651, member: 24633"]First, welcome to the neighborhood! It is very doubtful that you will find a good coin site that will fit your parameters. Littleton does have an "auto-ship" program, but you should avoid them like the plague. Also, buying coins isn't exactly like savings bonds because coins come in so many different states of condition and scarcity. The better the condition and the greater the scarcity, the more you will pay for them. As a collector, you must also accept the fact that, unlike savings bonds, some coins might increase in value, some might never change and some might actually drop in value. If you're looking for low-grade, common-date Morgan or Peace dollars, you'll be apt to note the greatest amount of fluctuation in prices. Those coins in moderate mint state grades may not change for years, and those coins in the highest grades may be subject to continuing growth. However, none of these generalities are hard and fast rules. Coin collecting should not be construed as an investment unless you have very, very deep pockets. That's the nature of the beast.
