<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 56499, member: 3011&quot;]Looking through an issue of Coin World, there are a lot of companies and dealers advertising coins.&nbsp; Some have websites, some don&#039;t.&nbsp; Some sites have photos of the coins they sell, some don&#039;t.&nbsp; Some sell slabbed coins, some don&#039;t.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The question is, how safe and reliable is it to buy a coin from them if the price and grade look right?&nbsp; A company running full page or multi page ads in a national publication in every issue must be satisfying somebody.&nbsp; I&#039;ve read here many times, &quot;buy the coin, not the holder.&quot; Well, for these outfits, sometimes you can&#039;t see the coin, or only see a picture.&nbsp; Sometimes there isn&#039;t even a holder, only a description like &quot;Gem BU.&quot;&nbsp; Should this sort of coin source be completely ignored?&nbsp; What do people here do?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
