<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 3578830, member: 90666&quot;]My favourites are several that no one has yet mentioned and that routinely get completely ignored, yet often sell high end rare genuine Republican and Imperatorial coins from old collections with good toning and provenance. If I can buy a good coin for half or one third the regular price,&nbsp; things such as shipping fees and commission percent become pretty irrelevant. Its worthwhile checking under moss-covered stones and through doors covered in cob webs for auctions every one else is ignoring and then when you find a source of good coins (whether auction or retail), guarding the information carefully so it stays that way. Everyone should develop their own secret sauce, but the one general advice I&#039;d share is that auction firms&nbsp; which do NOT generally sell ancient coins are the ones to look for.</p><p><br /></p><p>My silver medal goes to auction firms which are difficult to deal with because for instance they don&#039;t list on Sixbid or have complicated websites not in English language.</p><p><br /></p><p>And my bronze medal goes to whichever firms not already covered that the dealers are buying from. How to find these? Go to the retail section of a high end dealer such as CNG and Waddell, see what&#039;s for sale and go to ACsearch and see where they got their coins. If they can get them cheap&nbsp; then so can you. You might also want to have a look at where I&#039;m buying my ancient coins because if I&#039;m following my own rule set then I&#039;m not over paying <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Get a stick and poke about a bit; the less user friendly a seller is, and the less obvious it is that he sells lots of the coins you want, the better the chance of getting a great bargain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
