Their s/h is about $4-$5 I think and if you purchase over $100 its free s/h.
I wish I can attach a price list but can't. I wouldn't say they're exactly overpriced but rather high end. Sounds a bit confusing, I know, that's why I was hoping someone else can shed some light regarding his pricing.

I sort of forgot I've also purchased coin from a place called Miller's Mint an internet dealer. Great service, fantastic catalog, nice coins but prices too, a little high.

I bought one coin from Jack Beymer and was quite pleased with it and I think the grading was accurate. I would agree his catalog prices seem a bit high in general, but if he had the coin I wanted at the price I was willing to pay I would not hesitate to order. You could always try calling to negotiate a better price for a specific coin.
The two coins I purchased from JJ Teaparty were very nice and the prices were good. I browse their inventory regularly. I've also purchased a few items from Alpine Numismatics and was satisfied.
Good luck! If you do place an order, please post your new acquisitions!

I have used Millers also, not the cheapest but the grades were good for sight unseen coins. Don't know that the shipping was.

His prices are higher than greysheet for sure. I have also dealt with him and his coins are usually quality coins and seem accurately graded. He definitely seems to have quite a variety especially in the lower grades (FR2,AG3,G4). He regularly advertises in CoinWorld and you can also get on his mailing list. swcoin.ecrater.com

Kind of to bad not being able to attend a coin show lately. Really can't beat being able to see the actual coin, being able to haggle about the prices, getting to know people, no postage, no handling prices, no insurance prices and no lost in the mail stories either.
We have 4 shows a Month within 15 miles of my house. Just came back from one yesterday and really had fun, met people, got some great deals. Really sorry you can't make it to them.

There is another post called need suggestions from members. A person has a coin web site and if you go there you would see examples of Mercury dimes that too are on the high side of prices. |

I know, its best to look at the coin before purchase. But these days everyone's so busy, weekend is the only family time we have and my DD hates car rides. Its not going to be like this forever but till then I'll have to take things slow.
I will probably place a small order with him as soon as I figure out which ones I need.

There is a Millers Mint here on Long Island, IMO, they are great.  I have dealt with "Hal" and the coins are plentiful, and very nice grades, the people are very "collector friendly", I have spent a small fortune there and always walk away very pleased, if this is the place everyone is speaking about.....  . A great shop to visit, learn, shop, and you are always welcome..... |

I've used Golden Eagle and W.S., and both seem to be fair graders, and if you look around you can get deals. I used to like APMEX, but they are quitting the numismatics business, sticking to bullion. |

I havent used Beymer before. I have purchased some franklins from Mt. Lassen coins (online). I have had a good experience there and fair prices.

He has a listing of Mercury dimes in this weeks Coin World mag. You can take a look at the prices. Also I've been thinking, is there any point of paying a premium for an AU58FB over an AU58? I know FB is worth having on a mint state coins. |

I know FB is worth having on a mint state coins. Such a question is pending purely on YOU. There are many out there that just want to fill an Album so the grade is irrelivant. Then there are thoes that just MUST have all MS or higher, if that were possible, coins. Some want only slabbed coins so naturally those don't fit well in an Album. At coin shows I've seen people sitting in front of a dealer with a massive magnifier looking at the Reverse of Mercury dimes and saying things like "those middle bands are a little weak". Then walking away. And then there are those that say, "wow is that one cheap, I'll take it, even though it's well worn". It's just what you think you need, want, can use, require, must have, etc. So as to your AU-58 or AU-58 FB, might as well just go for all MS-71's.  |

Lets put it this way. He had an NGC 1877 IHC that was slabbed as G4 and I agree, it was. He wanted $1087 for it. It was a nice eye-appealing no problem coin but, I've seen other similar NGC G4's for well under a grand since then. I'm not sure what factors are determined in the pricing of his coins. Ultimately, the buyer has to make the decision. swcoin.ecrater.com
