<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ziggy29, post: 17310, member: 1113&quot;][EDITED TO ADD:]&nbsp; Buying on eBay is a legitimate supplement to an overall collection-building process, but there&#039;s still no substitute for building relationships with knowledgeable and ethical dealers who have many more leads than we do for coins, can learn what you&#039;re looking for and act as another set of eyes for you.&nbsp; Since I&#039;ve started my new endeavor, a certified AU-58 type set, I&#039;ve been in contact with a couple of reputable dealers who, through exchanging pictures of the type of original coins that appeal to me, I&#039;m quite confident know what I&#039;m looking for and can help me build the set.&nbsp; Yes, I won&#039;t occasionally luck into a really nice coin for money well below what the price sheets say, but I&#039;m more likely to find just the right coin that way.&nbsp; One of them is going to ship me an 1867 Shield nickel with rays on approval tomorrow.&nbsp; We&#039;ll see how well he&#039;s nailed the eye appeal I&#039;m looking for.][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
