Do you have a problem finding the coins on your list?

I have cash to burn, but can't find what I want.................and I've looked everywhere !!

Don't have cash to burn, but the items I need for my type sets and those other items I'm interested in are getting fewer and farther between

What are you looking for?

It's not easy finding stuff these days. I was looking for type coins - half dollars - at the FUN show and only found one. This was the weakest FUN show for finding stuff that I've had since I started going to them in the mid 1990s. I found some coins for my want list customers, but I didn't see much for me, and the materal does not seem to be that hard given that it's only type.

I'm looking for MS63 Morgans, MS64 Walkers, and modern US bullion, and I can't find any for sale!

however, the market is awash with junk like draped bust half dimes, dimes, and quarters, and classic head cents on smooth planchets, and cheap early gold

I can find the coins I want.. but prices seem extraordinarily high lately.... I am not looking for slabbed '70's... just reasonable, raw coins. I do not like to go to ebay (unless it is a forum member - trusted).. but that at least affords a sniping chance. Show and shop dealers are just overpricing at this time. Cheers, RickO

I have some difficulty locating exactly what I want. On the other hand the hunt is more than half the fun of collecting. Bob

There is an increasing percentage of low-end, recycled junk on both ebay and dealers' websites. Any nice, fresh type coins that show up at shows or dealers' shops are instantly gobbled by collectors or other dealers. I don't know how anyone can say the market is slowing; I'd say the flow of nice material available for sale is slowing, if anything. Yes, I have trouble finding the sort of thing that I look for, without paying moon money or going to a "specialist" dealer and paying agonizing retail prices. My recent purchases have been restricted to very scarce Seated material for which I'm willing to pay above price guide levels.

The coins that I want are there. My trouble is finding the cash when they come available.

You almost had me fooled there for a second, Baley! Good one!

No, I just have problems affording the coins on my lists
