Where Do You Get Your Coins?

Thanks for all the responses. The intertubes really is a remarkable tool for the ancient coin collector in particular, but God I'd love to be able to wander in off the street and browse around in some pokey little shop for such coins. I went to a carboot sale recently, made a bee-line for the coin dealer and asked to see his ancient coins. Whereupon he pulled out a selection from the early 20th century!

Would any of you mind letting me know of the people you deal with on ebay or other online sources? I understand if you'd like to keep 'em under wraps, but there's no harm in asking!

I don't think I'm breaking any rules by posting the names of some of the better sellers I've dealt with on ebay:

Just to name a few.

I'm in southern illinois, so there aren't any close by coins shops that have ancients. I did find a place about 100 miles away that does have a few, but pretty high priced. all my ancient stuff has been from online, nice list jw.

Should be no surprise. When a dealer/seller has a good reputation and good deals, one would expect them to be on such a list. There are others I use as well, but the list was getting too long.

Coin shows and the internet are where most of mine come from. einhard, once you decide what it is you want to collect, search the internet and you will find many dealers that can offer what you need.
