<p>[QUOTE="Bob Evancho, post: 3078775, member: 84595"]I only go to small coin shops and small coins shows and primarily to cherry pick the coin dealers to get varieties for my coin collection. I ask for good coins first. I never get disappointed if someone ignores me or if they say they only sell the good coins online. I'll look through their books, boxes, and whatever they have on hand. Sure I'd like to buy better coins but if that is not possible it's cherry picking time. And I study, study, study books. Buy the book before you buy the coin. Also I enjoy flea market coin dealers. Don't be disappointed going to a small coin shop. With knowledge you can get many good varieties of coins for your collection. Here are some examples: 1955 Doubled Die cent which the dealer said was counterfeit ($.25) (real came back AU 55), 1878 VAM 44A Triple cotton blossoms ($50) came back MS 61, 1942/41-D ($2) came back Fine 15. GDJMSP said it all. Happy collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
