I'm trying to locate a way to find dealers by state. So I can combine that into my website. Anyone have a way they do this? Also if this violates and CCF rules please remove.

Spider5689 Pillar of the Community United States 2269 Posts	Posted 11/11/2008 10:59 am Other than search engines, online yellowpages, or word of mouth, I really don't know any other way to find dealers. I think having a resource website dedicated to finding dealers is a great idea. Good luck puting it together. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 11/11/2008 5:55 pm The ANA dealer directory has a lookup by state, zip code, name, or specialty. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 11/11/2008 7:59 pm As you can see your a little to late with such a listing. Aside from those mentioned you could also just Google coin dealers or the same on Yahoo. The problem with such listings are some of those dealers go out of buisness, some are not to be trusted, some are fantatic, some are just dealers, etc. Having a listing of possible thousands of dealers would be a great thing if everyone that tried it could add their comments about such dealers so there would be running and continuous evaluation of them. Also, their addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, etc. I'd like to see one with customer recommendations. Report this Post to the Staff
insideout Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 11/11/2008 11:21 pm Well i'll see what I can put together. I found a site that has tons listed by state. I'll be doing lots of re typinf putting a list together. I'll see about a rating system also. Report this Post to the Staff
insideout Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 11/11/2008 11:28 pm I also want to add at the same time a rating system could cause problems. The legal issues a negative rating could open up could be a major factor. I have seen a few forums be under the gun for negative comments Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 11/12/2008 11:11 am IMO, the ANA directory is probably the best way to find an honest dealer- they not only have to adhere to the Member Code of Ethics but also the Dealer Code of Ethics. PNG is a specific dealers association comprised mainly of high end dealers and experts and they have a Code of Ethics as well. This is not to say that the only honest dealers are members of the ANA and that all ANA/PNG members are perfect. There are plenty of other perfectly honest and fair dealers who are not affiliated with the ANA or PNG and it is possible for the ANA or PNG to have a few lousy dealers too. However, your chances of getting a "bad apple" off that list are much smaller than picking a random dealer that you know nothing about. Report this Post to the Staff
