Best sources for certified low-ball coin inventories?

New to low-ball collecting, having issues finding a dealer with a decent inventory. I know its a very narrow collecting field, but I've gotten hooked, after collecting banknotes for so many years.
Would there be any dealers you guys could recommend that carry these? Anyone with a solid selection, (as opposed to trolling eBay hoping one will list) More into modern lowballs, e.g. Memorial cents, Post 1964 Washington, Sacagaweas, etc. (with Sacagawea so far I have a VG8, VG10, F12, VF20, VF25, and so on. ) Thank you.

Certified or raw? That would make a bit of a difference. Regardless, if you are looking for problem-free examples of modern coinage then there isn't much depth to that inventory pool and your best bet would be to check ebay and the Buy, Sell & Trade (BST) board on this site.
Good luck.

Also, you don't need to bump your own thread here. It may get the thread locked pretty quickly.

Modern lowballs are pretty tough. I don't know that there's a dealer for them.
This is a good-faith question for OP:
What is the charm of "low-ball collecting"? To me, it just seems like spending good money (sometimes at a very significant premium over somewhat higher grades) to buy ugly coins.
Thanks.
They may be worn, but they are by no means ugly. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and to this beholder, a problem-free lowball coin can be quite beautiful.
Brent Pogue thought so as well and had a lowball type set.

Have not heard of a lowball coin dealer. You could post a 'want' note on the BST.... Much like art, such interests are individual preferences.... and not without merit. Cheers, RickO
The major auction houses have lowballs pass through their auctions on a random basis, but they rarely handle 'moderns'. I suggest looking on eBay for the coins you like and want that are raw and submit yourself.
For the nice older stuff I have seen them st GreatCollections, Heritage, David Lawrence, StacksBowers, Goldberg and many of the dealers that are on the national circuit will also occasionally have an item or two in their inventory and show up on their websites.
Good luck in your search, it will not be a quick one.
