<p>[QUOTE=&quot;josh&#039;s coins, post: 2332829, member: 51487&quot;]Developing a relationship with a Local Coin shop is certaintly a great venue to pursue because as others have mentioned developing a relationship with the employee(s) of the shop will be beneficial in getting better prices and having someone on the lookout for something you want.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let&#039;s say you want a 1916-D Mercury Dime. You go to your LCS and tell them you want the coin in F12 condition. Problem is your LCS doesn&#039;t have the coin but if you&#039;re friendly with them they&#039;ll keep an eye out for you so long as you prove you have the money to buy the coin. Most likely if they don&#039;t have the coin they&#039;ll ask you what your budget is and call you when they find something within your budget. They get a quick flip on a coin you get a coin you want for a good price and you didn&#039;t have to do much work to get the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand if you want a 1916-D Mercury dime odds are you could find the coin somewhere online for a decent price and buy it from a reputable online dealer or eBay seller with little to no hassle. The downside is you&#039;re looking at pictures and sometimes pictures of the coin don&#039;t look like the coin you actually receive which can be annoying but that&#039;s what return policies are for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
