I was just wondering if there were any other places to buy coins on line that are better or as good as ebay. Any suggestions or comments? Thanks, Teach |

Try Alaskan Coin Exchange. Cheap coins/shipping, good descriptions, and plenty of pics!  |

I would also have to second to purchasing on CCF when you have enough posts. Folks here have always offer me fair and reasonable deals for the US coins that I have needed. Ken |

Heritage Auctions is a good place. Don't forget they add in 15% for a Buyer's Premium plus shipping. You can join for free and there's a wealth of info there. http://www.ha.com/I also like Northeast Numismatics. Many of their coins allow you to submit an online "offer" and they can counter-offer or accept your price. http://northeastcoin.com/Edited by BH1964

Thats a good list Fuzzy,except for Littleton Coin. They are the worst...prices too high and they treat customers bad.Just my opinion of course.  |

http://www.proxibid.com. Some auctions charge up to 20% premium, and so-called coin auctions are heavy on gold and silver bullion. I have found some real bargains in some of the auctions, however.

I'll go with Heritage Auctions as well. I'll calculate my bids with the premium included.

Thanks for the list Fuzzy317. It's always nice to have recommendations for people who have used those sites.
Do the on-line auctions operate similar to e-bay?

The official U.S. mint website has a long list of stores that are approved coin dealers of some U.S coins. Go to http://www.usmint.gov/bullionretailer to check this out. The website only says information about the actual walk-in store, although I find most of those stores have good websites. Personally I buy bullion coins with Blanchard ( http://www.blanchardonline.com/ ), which has a nice website and good customer service. I hope this helps.  Edited by DimeHunter

Thanks for the info. Just trying to see what my options are. I will take a look at some of these and see if they are worth buying from.

Proxibid auctions are always "real-time" auctions, often with onsite bidders to compete against. Some run streaming audio and video, which of course lags a few seconds behind the onsite action. You can register a credit or debit card once with Proxibid, although some auction companies will discount the final price if you send a personal check as payment.
