It becomes a question of quality - sometimes the ebay coin is nicer and sometimes the dealer coin is nicer. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now when it comes to specialty coin dealers - usually they are higher than ebay. One dealer I always wait for him to put up some auctions. At the same time a lot of these coins on ebay are raw problem coins and you can get these cheaper from a dealer than ebay. I think a lot of this depends on what you are looking for. Me - I would rather buy from a dealer, so I know what I am getting. Even with some of the heritage and teletrade auctions you need to really watch the coin - some of them are not the best also.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
