<p>[QUOTE="princeofwaldo, post: 2027036, member: 24091"]I am a big fan of both Lyn Knight and Stack's-Bowers, you can find plenty of truly rare coins and the reserves are low enough that you will be getting a great deal on the coin if no one else shows-up to bid. Which, though not frequently, does happen often enough to convince me my highest bid is not automatically taken without any other "real" bids having been submitted; -something I am fairly certain occurs at some of the other large auction houses, and if you read the fine print in the user agreement it is their "right" to do that. Of course that doesn't make it "right" - and after a few transactions like that at other sites, I find myself more and more drawn to LKCA and SBG. Shipping is reasonable, and like any traditional auction house it takes a couple days to get your coin because thousands of lots have all sold within a few hours the same day you win your coin. I may not be buying as many coins online as I once did on eBay, but the coins I am buying are vastly superior to most anything available on eBay these days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
