<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sullysullinburg, post: 3037876, member: 73996&quot;]Some repeats here but I think it will be helpful none the less.</p><p><br /></p><p>Antique shops- Most, from my experience have some form of coinage. Issue mainly that I’ve seen is it’s all overpriced and cleaned.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pawn shops- If you’re looking for junk silver or bullion, this is the place to go. Deals are pretty reasonable from what I’ve seen.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Garage/yard sales- Very hit or miss here. Don’t expect to find any hole fillers here. But if you’re looking for a cool coin or a decent flip, this might be the place.</p><p><br /></p><p>Post office- I know this isn’t what you really meant by “buying” but paying face for a coin ain’t that bad. I’ve had decent luck simply walking in and while I’m shipping something, simply asking if they have any odd or unusual coins/notes.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Estate sales- Most estate sales around me are run by an antique shop, so refer to that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hobby shops- This somewhat falls under LCS but still if you have any model train/plane or baseball card shop or really any type of hobby it’s worth stopping in to see if they have anything. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thrift stores- I’ve never been to one, but over heard of people who have found some keepers there. I would check jacket pockets. And if you find something, I would buy whatever item the coin was found in, but that’s just me.</p><p><br /></p><p>CoinTalk- I know you said the interent but there is some other places where you can find coins out there often cheaper then eBay. CoinTalk is one of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Instagram/Facebook- I somewhat owe my coin collecting hobby to Instagram. Great community with lots of great people and lots of different interests. I’ve also heard about coin collecting groups on Facebook if you want to check those out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Local Flyer- Not sure if you’re town/county has this, but ever week I get a 20 page packet of classifieds. If you’re town has one, try and get a copy and read through it, or even better, post an ad saying you are buying coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coin Clubs- All coin clubs are different, but the one I was a part of had a auction ever meeting. No fees for buyers or sellers. Doesn’t get much better then that. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Pretty much this is the whole list of places I’ve bought or sold coins at or heard about people who have. Best of luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
