I am working on a US type set and have been looking to find some online dealers that have a wide selection F to EF grade type coins. At this point I am concentrating on pre 1900 types. I found a few sites that seem to meet what I am looking for: http://www.alaskacoinexchange.com/http://www.harlanjberk.com/unitedstatesco/cnus.asphttp://www.millersmint.com/http://www.vtcoins.com/http://www.teletrade.com/http://www.ebay.com/The first 2 sellers post images of almost every coin, which is of great help. Sellers 2-4 I have to request images. I can't imagine anyone buying coins without at least an image. Then we have Teletrade and ebay.. Certainly not the same.. My questions is; Are there any other online sites that have similar selection/grades/prices to these sellers and have pictures posted? I would like to take a look at as many coins as possible.. There are no local dealers (none that have not turned into pawn shops) in my area and a coin show will rarely be within a 3 hour drive, so I have been exploring these options. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks. |

Between Alaska Coin Exchange, Puro Coins and Harlan Berk, you've already listed the only ones I recommend without hesitation.  |

I too go along with Millersmint and vtcoins. I remember when vtcoins started and had some really great values. Not sure about now though. Millersmint has an fantastic inventory and once you buy from them they send an occational catalog which is numerous pages of almost anything you can imagine.
I'd keep away from HJB if I were you. Noted for cleaned coins.
You may want to try jmscoins too. Has photos of all coins but many are really lousy photos. I know him and complain all the time about that. jmscoins goes to all the coin shows in Illinois and as many other places as possible.

Alaskan Coin Exchange is still around? That's awesome! I'm not sure how I got the idea they weren't, though... |

Thanks again for the replies. Shipping is quick at Alaska Coin Exchange, you just have to remember that it is coming from Anchorage, AK. The USPS seems to take a few extra days from AK.. Overall, a great experience with them.
Miller's Mint does have a good selection and they will post pictures if you ask them.
Vtcoins will post pictures too, but they list their coins in QTY format, so they will list their inventory as "1857 Flying Eagle F-12 Qty 9 $43.00". Obviously not every F-12 is the same, but ask them and they can post pictures of the coin they feel is the "best" out of that Qty of 9.
