<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 5679, member: 487&quot;]Here is a much overlooked subject for most collectors. The want list program is a useful tool that many collectors have at their disposal to help find and acquire the the coins they are looking for. Every collector should take advantage of these services. Once you have found a dealer that you are comfortable with, take advantage of this service. Most dealers travel to various coin shows, attend major auctions, and trade on one dealer network or another. They see many coins and have access to many more that are not necessarily offered publicly. These want list programs are pretty easy to get involved in. You give the information about the specific coin, in a grade, and price range you are looking for. Be very specific. A large part of any dealers business will be filling these want lists for their customers. Don&#039;t ask too many dealers for the same coin though. While filling out a want list doesn&#039;t necessarily obligate you to make the purchase, the dealer may refuse your future requests if it becomes an issue. No one likes to waste their time. If the dealer finds an acceptable coin, you should hold up your end of the bargain. Use several dealers if you are searching for several different types of coins. Look for areas where the dealer specializes in.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Remember that this is your collection. You should never settle for a coin that is &quot;close&quot; to what you want. Be patient and take advantage of the tools that are available to you, and your collection will be your pride and joy for many years to come.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
