Where can I buy coins?

Postby scyther » Sun Jun 16, 2013 10:12 am

Obviously the LCS is one option, but is there a good internet store to buy non-bullion coins? I'm thinking especially uncirculated common coins.

When we were filling albums we found Dave's Collectible Coins had fair prices and great prices. http://www.davescollectiblecoins.com/servlet/StoreFront

I liked there shipping.

I have not used them, however, hear good things about Modern Coin Mart.

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, neither of those seem to have the selection I'm looking for. Do most people here just buy coins at the LCS, or collect only from circulation, then?

It depends on which common uncirculated coins you're collecting. But i think ebay is the most popular. But you'll probably get a better deal if you try buying it from an individual such as in coin forums.

Maybe you should post a listing of desired coins on here. You could probably find a lot on here.

Most large cities have coin shows where you can pick up uncirculated common coins.
