<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1990276, member: 37839"]If I posted all of the "good deals" I got at coin shows, and from dealers, this thread would have HUNDREDS of pictures just from me (they are already up there on other threads). What I have called you out on is the dismissal of dealers, both at shows and in brick and mortar establishments as being merely in it to gouge the coin purchasing world. That is a stereotype, and a cruel one. A good collection has a balance of where the coins are obtained from---dealers shops, shows, online, estate sales, friends selling and trading, etc. You(Vegas Vic) are looking at only the "dollars and cents" aspect of the hobby, and much of it is the quest for a really nice coin at a MUTUALLY ACCEPTABLE price. I absolutely refuse to trash dealers, as many of them are friends, and we do each other favors,depending upon the market. My purchasing habits have been to spend a fair amount of money with whichever source does well by me, and numerous sources have been mutually rewarding for me and my collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
