Anyone else have this problem?
I live in western wisconsin (La Crosse), there are only two coin dealers within 50 miles and they're both crooks in my opinion, it always amazes me when your buying, break out a retail magazine, when your selling to them 20% or more behind greysheet ask. Is this normal around the country? Even for 90% how can you sell comman junk silver dollars at 19.00 a shot and sleep at night. Any slab you bring in is automatically misgraded, any raw coin "they have many in the back and they all have problems" (Never mind I bought some from him a few years ago) So other than ebay what other choice do you have? Sorry just venting, I love this hobby, I'm getting more educated on it by reading this board but come on!!!!! Not slamming all dealers here, just wish there were a few honest ones where I live.

So do we all. There are some decent ones near where I live, but it's still usually at least a 45 minute drive to one, and I'm in the Chicago burbs. As a result, I do my buying online and at shows. I guess if you're up for a trip to Wisconsin Rapids, there's a dealer from there that was set up at the ANA show that was decent.

bst board or online reputable dealers.

They have overhead costs to pay "real estate taxes"
We all know that in Wisconsin taxes are not resonable
I am not defending them, it is just a fact of life
that's all
