[QUOTE="Farstaff, post: 998255, member: 2344"]It very easy to say find a trusted dealer, but my personal experience has taught me finding a trusted dealer depends somewhat on luck but more important upon your own knowledge or personal experiences with a dealer. Networking with a local coin club and this forum will increased your network of trusted dealers. Building relationships with a dealer will increase your personal experiences with that dealer and you can determine if the individual dealer can be trusted. Finding a trusted dealer or dealers can be difficult in your local area. I have had good and bad experiences with dealers. The bad experiences, usually can be contribute to my lack of knowledge and experience. As my knowledge and experience has increased those bad experiences are becoming fewer and I have found several trusted dealers. Buying on Ebay also requires you to have knowledge and experience on what you are purchasing. On Ebay, review the feedback of the seller, learn to grade coins from photos, consider shipping cost when bidding, etc.. You will have had good and bad experiences with Ebay. Again the bad experiences, usually can be contribute to lack of knowledge and experience and as your knowledge and experience increases those bad experiences will become fewer. It is my opinion, knowledge and experience is the key in purchasing coins wherever on Ebay or from a dealer.[/QUOTE]
