Frostbite123 New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 08/02/2014 07:51 am I've had a coin collection for a few years now, and I haven't really done anything with it. I want to get back into it. Now, my question is, What are some good and reliable websites to get coins from? From Fine to Very fine condition The coins I would like to obtain are US 2 cent coins 3 cent Silver Trimes Liberty Seated half dimes Liberty Seated dimes And eventually a CC Morgan silver dollar. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, FrostBite Report this Post to the Staff

Many counterfeit CC Morgans have been spotted on ebay, as well as other classic American coinage. Report this Post to the Staff

chasingtailbar Pillar of the Community 968 Posts	Posted 08/02/2014 11:46 am Given you said "eventually a CC Morgan silver dollar", I take it you're not looking for high-grade, expensive material? I'd definitely recommend ebay. Just watch out for counterfeit material and cleaned/problem coins. By all means, post them up here after you buy them to get input, and don't become disenchanted if you make a mistake. Learning through your mistakes is a part of the hobby.

Take your time and also visit your local coin shop. After 2 weeks and 50 posts you can also put up a want list. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/02/2014 6:16 pm 1. Keep away from ebay unless you really know what your doing. 2. Don't mess with places like Craigslist either. Same reason. 3. I suggest you take time and look up coin shows. Just go to Google or Yahoo and type in coin shows and your state. 4. Coin stores are OK but again only if you know what your doing. 5. Acquire a copy of the Red Book and get familiar with Numismedia on the internet for prices. 6. Stick around this web site and eventually you can buy from members. Lot more trustworthy than ebay. 7. Use the Search tab in this forum for topics like coin dealers, coin shops, coin shows, etc. Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 08/02/2014 7:05 pm Welcome to the CCF. Generally, it's wise to avoid impulse buying, so take your time. ebay is a minefield, but knowledge will help you step in the right places. Look for an area coin club(s). Make friends at the local coin shop(s). In general, network with other collectors. See what coin books are available at your local library. I humbly suggest that you not hesitate to invest time and effort but do hesitate to spend much money until you can make very informed decisions. Mistakes can quickly lead to discouragement in this hobby. Happy hunting! Report this Post to the Staff
