<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jonathon, post: 365948, member: 14134&quot;]I just started collecting coins and I have really enjoyed the hobby so far. But one problem i have been having is getting coins. The only dealers that are close to me are a few guys at the local flea market. I dont like them at all and they are all the same. They overgrade their coins and then stick the redbook price for that grade on every one of the coins. I&#039;ve heard, and agree, that the redbook prices are high to begin with anyway. I always try to negociate with them and try to get a better price but they are so stingy and never listen to me, let alone let me get a better deal. I also bought my first large cent there, which i now know has been heavily cleaned :headbang: (When i first started collecting a few months ago i wish i had been smart enough to know that a 150 year old circulated copper coin isn&#039;t going to shine one bit<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p>I can&#039;t buy coins off eBay or the internet because i&#039;m under 18 and dont have any kind of credit card or anything like that and my dad is really weird about letting me do things that involve money over the internet. </p><p>There are hardly ever coin shows where i live. When there are, they are always 45min to an hour away. Considering gas prices i might as well just buy the over priced flea market coins lol</p><p>What do I do?? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
