I was just curious I live in rural Easter Kentucky and as you can well imagine the nearest coin shop is 124 miles away and you don't want to know how far the 2nd one is from here lol. Anyway, does anyone use an internet coin dealer to purchase coins and supplies, and who do you consider to be the best and the worst as far as Coin Quality and Cost

Thanks in advance,,Mike

http://www.valleycoin.com/index.php..._409_562_428 I've heard from others here that this is a good place for supplies, although I haven't used them yet.

Well, I am sure many will reply to steer clear of Mike's coins. lol that was an ebay dealer though I am sure he has other sites and names that people have been ripped off by. I personally only buy here on the forum or in person at a store, but there will be more experienced people in soon to tell you the best.

I did find this post of recommended sellers though that might be only ebay. I am not sure. Hope that helps at least a little.

That is what I do for my second job. It can be hectic. Mainly when you are dealing with people all over the world. I have refunded one guy ($8.00) and he was right. It was one of the first coins I ever posted and I thought if it was old it did not matter how bad it was..........wrong!
Good luck! This site has fine coins and are very reliable and very helpful. If you are going to buy on the internet for the first time. Try them.

My best advice would be to stick around here. Get use to the forums. Post pictures of your coins. Ask and answer questions. Take part in topic discussions.

You will end up making friends who can you end up trading or buying coins via the forums once you have enough quaility posts.

I buy my supplies from Wizard Coin Supply. I' made some very nice purchases from the trading areas here and I've also purchased from ebay, although very carefully. I've been both disappointed and happy with purchases from there, so it's a mixed bag.

I run a site along with performing 2-3 coin shows a month.
I am new to this forum and know that my good friend uses
this forum to trade, purchase and sell coins here once you
meet the minimum requirements.

I have not bought many supplies from the net, but the people I know that have usually go with Wizard Coin Supply because of the great prices, low shipping fees and fast delivery. To buy coins, the only place online I have gone is ebay, so I can not help you out there. Your best option would to get your 40 quality posts and then you can buy and sell on the forum. There are many people that buy, trade and sell right here so technically you could get everything you need here. The other advantage of using this site is that everyone looks out for each other and tries to help as much as possible. Most of the prices will be lower than Red Book (and other sources) because they know they are going to a new person that will appreciate the coin.

I buy a silver eagles from Gainesvillecoins.com. I have bought supplies (storage boxes, etc) and some older coins from Collectons.com. I have had good luck with both-gainesville coins has had the best prices on eagles that I have found.
