Just coin shows in general. Do some dealers have a selection available for trade or purchase? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

Check the bay Not a dealer only selling them but possibly do some dealers have a binder of them tucked to the side? I've been a pretty active counterstamp collector for a few years now. ebay has been my main hunting grounds... I'm looking for other places to shop.

They would likely be mixed in unsorted "junk" boxes or a miscellaneous binder off to the side, as someone here mentioned. This is the sort of thing where it really benefits to tell local dealers that you are looking for this stuff, and they may put it aside, or if someone comes in with a collection they know that they have a buyer. In my LCS, a huge part of his business is knowing how to sell what he buys-or more specifically, who the individual buyers for kinds of merchandise are. His buy offers depend on this. Some stuff like bullion or "junk silver" have a lot, others have few. Edited by oriole 12/19/2017 08:27 am Report this Post to the Staff

Items under $1 might be in a junk box, but probably not at a big show. With the expenses of some shows dealers have to sell profitable items just to break even. HOWEVER, if you make a business card listing your desire and contact information, you might be surprised. I collect a somewhat uncommon exonumic genre and I sometimes I get emails from dealers I met many years before. Report this Post to the Staff
