<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1990831, member: 26302&quot;]The OP created the thread since somone else created a thread contending its always cheaper to buy online than at a coin show. You are right, good buys can be made at any location or method of purchase if one has the knowledge. We said that on the other thread as well, but the OP on that one kept insisting ONLY online is where you can make the best deals.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, excellent point about surfaces, one that most newcomers do not appreciate. Photos are a very limited look at the coin, especially for older coins. There is a distinct reason why most prices are only &quot;sight seen&quot;, buying a coin from a dealer you do not know is simply dangerous. Even slabbed coins are not a simple numeric grade comparison. Two MS 64&#039; can rightfully be priced very differently. Collectors who get into the &quot;I am going to buy X grade dated coin the absolute cheapest&quot; usually end up with a collection of humdrum coins, coins that when they sell get severely discounted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
