Are coin shows really a good place to purchase gold coins or should I look up local dealers?
Many reasons a coin show is the best place to purchase coins.
1. Compitition makes for better prices so the more dealers the better the prices
2. Great place to check for authenticity too. If you buy a raw coin it's easy to ask other dealers what they think of it.
3. Some dealers are representatives of a local coin store so giving you a great price could make you a store visitor. Many times I've been told I have that at our store, wh not stop by. I've done that too.
4. Easy to haggle prices when face to face with a dealer unlike on the internet. Especially
ebay.
5. Regardless of Gold, Silver or anything in coinage, the larger the visual quantities, the better the chances of finding what you like, want, need.
6. If you spend some time talking to dealers and get to know them, they may go out looking for something you want and at a great price.
