<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 534759, member: 15199&quot;]Good dealers are hard to find, and when people do, they seldom broadcast the fact if they intend to bid on the items themselves. Check the &quot;Open&quot; subforums, many members also have stores/auctions on ebay and you have better knowledge of them than a stranger. Look for 99.5-100% rating, easy returns, low shipping, and very very clear photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am also into gemstones and I will give a reference here to one of my best dealers and I consider a friend to illustrate. He is a GIA graduate, and I consider a friend. He will tell you when the gem is synthetic or diffused, has a 31 day return, 800 number, often free shipping, etc. and look at his photos. If you ever consider gemstones, put him on your perferred dealer list IMO,&nbsp;&nbsp; Now find coin dealers like this and you are set.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.com%2Fmerchant%2Ftiptopgem_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.com%2Fmerchant%2Ftiptopgem_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ" rel="nofollow">http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/tiptopgem_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
