<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 72946, member: 669&quot;]Spencer, I&#039;m ashamed of you. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome to the forum anchor.&nbsp; You&#039;ll have to forgive Speedy - he probably got up on the wrong side of the bed today. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The answer to each of your sub-questions is &quot;Yes&quot;, all of those are factors.&nbsp; But personally I can&#039;t give a single answer to your question, because the dealer I &quot;like most&quot; if I&#039;m considering <ul> <li>the direct purchase of a gold coin is Clark Smith</li> <li>bidding on a live auction for a gold coin is the Goldbergs</li> <li>buying an uncirculated post-WW II Japanese coin is Takas-Japan on EBay</li> <li>buying circulated modern Japanese coins at a coin show is Craig Feigner</li> <li>the 1921D Walking Liberty needed to complete my only US set is anyone who has one in an acceptable condition at an acceptable price</li> <li>and so forth.</li> </ul><p>The point is that unlike choosing a spouse in our monagamous society, there is no need to annoint a &quot;favorite dealer&quot; in the numismatic world, and doing so may cut you off from a lot of desireable material that your pal doesn&#039;t have in stock or available in his/her own dealer network.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
