I am not sure this is the right place to ask this question, if not, please steer me straight. I was wondering which online sites do others use to buy silver proof sets? Specifically, I want to purchase the America the Beautiful National Parks silver proofs, in original packing, starting with 2010. Of course, I'd like to get a good deal but don't want to get something inauthentic. I realize they can be found on ebay, but are there specific dealers you recommend? Thanks for any advice.

ATB silver proofs are not something that would be counterfeited so I wouldn't worry about that.
Check ebay for sellers with good feedback and you should be fine. Look for set sets of 5 in the lens.
When I am looking for modern coins I always check out Dave's Coins as well. He has a vast selection.

I would give one warning about silver proof sets on ebay. When I got back into collecting I had missed the first six years of the Statehood Quarters and went to ebay to pick up the years that I had missed. I wanted two sets of each, and wanted both the full sets and quarters only. After I managed to acquire them all I noticed some looked a little off. Having just learned the tissue test I checked, and of my 18 or so ebay purchased silver sets, four were clad proofs put into silver proof set lens (they will pop open with just a fingernail). Three had come from the same seller, and when I complained he just banned me from buying from him and ignored me. As I hadn't noticed until I had already left feedback I had no recourse.

Thanks for the advice as well as the tale of caution. This is the first I am learning about the tissue test! I will be using it, tho I am sorry that happened to you, jg.
I have seen Dave's Coins on ebay, so I will check his inventory for what I am looking for.
