Anyone know some dealers who are honest, with a good selection of coins that are slabbed and maybe raw that have online stores?

    The only dealers I know are down the street and want to sell me chronic?

    Seriously, Mike Dixon can help you. Hes straight up and a reputable dealer. I am a past customer.

    I'll vouch for Wayne Herndon...I've bought from and sold to him and have had nothing but great transactions.

    It would be helpful to know what kind of coins (series, grades) you are most interested in as there are several excellent dealers that only or mostly deal in a few select series of coins.

    Isn't that the "honest dealer" who submitted David Schweitz's 1919-S quarter to NGC for grading at the Baltimore show last June???

    I agree, honesty in the coin business makes paying the bills difficult. The most honest sellers of coins with whom I have dealt have been fellow collectors, however, I heartily recommend the following honest dealers, with whom I've had many wonderful transactions.

    Larry Hylton, Brownsburg, IN (no website)

    Randall Holder


    Among dealers whose coins I can afford only occasionally, I endorse:

    Alpine Numismatics (David Olmstead)

    Larry Whitlow

    Boy, this thread is easier than listing all those dealers whose honesty I question.

    "Good" and "honest" and a selection maybe raw?------------------------Start Here---------------and

    For raw coins G&H: Try Jack Beymer in CA, or East -RCNH either Jon (great toned) or Paul (inexpensive circulated) for advice.

    For nice grade certified: The list is long: Mark Feld Rare Coins, Wayne Herndon, and others here that are G&H plus
    can provide great advice.

    For a "Wide Selection" of certified: Less time to advise, but wide selection online: David Lawrence Rare Coins
    For Expensive Investment Material that's RARE: Pinnacle, Legend, and RKay patterns etc.

    WANNABEDEALER,

    That's a pretty serious allegation. Do you have evidence to back it up?

    WANNABEDEALER- That IS a very serious allegation. SLQ Coins is of highest integrity and if you don't know who was involved in that
    incident then you do your own research before connecting people's names to it.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    Fact, he was the submitter of the coin. What allegation am I making?

    Before you give out a glowing recommendation you should do some better research.

    Thanks for thread. The only thing I know to say is when you find one stick with them. I'm on the search again myself...think I may have found one. PM to you.

    Well, I thought I was going to PM you but you don't have your PM turned on.

    Harry Laibstain has a nice selection of certified coins, mostly PCGS and NGC. The coins are top quality for the grade, competitively priced. Randy Holder has a great selection of raw coins, especially in the Barber series. The coins are nice, original, and fairly priced. Randy is a great guy, and always willing to share his knowledge with you.

    Actually, it is not a simple answer. It depends on what coins you would like to buy. Different dealers fit different market niches. All of the dealers that I have purchased coins from in the last three years have been "good dealers".

    A guy by the name of Holder has a selection of raw coins? image That's kind of funny image

    So does this Holder fellow have a website?

    My favorite dealer is Mark Emtman of B.U.S.T. coins (better US type). He only deals at shows, Long Beach and some others, and larger Northwest shows. He has extensive knowledge of bust half dimes, dimes, quarters and halves, and always has some very choice coins. He spent a lot of time helping me out 9 years ago when I was getting started in bust halves, with attribution advice, revised rarity ratings, and what to avoid with bust coins.

    Just do a search in Google on, "Randy Holder Coins", and numerous web sites will come up.

    about everyone's been giving you advice, w/out asking an obvious question: what kind of coins??? i think it makes a huge difference between whether you wanna buy mega-dmpl super-ultra grade state quarters vs. those crappy old connecticut coppers....

    can you be a bit more specific???
