One site you might consider is CollectorsCorner.com I'm sort of partial to it as its related to the Certified Coin Exchange and its member dealers, But we have 1000's of coins listed, many have good images and you can make an offer if you are interested in the coins listed and the dealer can respond. We pre screen the dealers listing so that you can be assured that the dealers listing will back up their wares. Take a look and see for yourself, we have a Coin ,Currency, and Sports card Marketplace. Its not the only place on the net to locate those hard to find fillers, but we would love to be one of your stops.
I like to look in the usual places, but typically the best coins come from the collections of others. In the past year or so, I have added these half dimes through trades/transactions with fellow collectors: 1830 LM-10 (AU-55, R-6), 1829 LM-15.2 (AU-58, R-4), 1829 LM-17 (MS-63, R-4), 1837 LM-5 (MS-65, R-1 but nearly impossible in GEM), 1829 LM-14 (MS-61, R-4, and one of only two known in mint state), 1830 LM-9.2 (AU-58, R-4), 1832 LM-2 (AU-58, R-3), and 1832 LM-11.1 (XF-45, R-5)
Personally I look for coins everywhere I can and hopefully at places where other dealers and collectors haven't thought of doing so yet.

In the change return slots of the now rare payphones and in vending machines...oh yeah...and on the ground...
Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free
BST, eBay, and the local B&M shop (which always has the same stuff mostly). There isn't any coins shows within less than 2 hours from here, so I never go to any which is a bummer. I think the interest around here would pick up if there were at least 2 shows a year close to here, so I'm forced to do internet shopping.

@ Elite CNC Routing & Woodworks on Facebook. Check out my work. Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
At the coin show, sometimes one can find coins in odd locations...
This one was glued to the urinal. Proper removal of the coin is properly done by using only ones teeth on the rim of the coin. In this way, no contact with the obverse or reverse is made to preserve those high quality original surfaces! Glue can be removed later with an ice pick.

Actually, Heritage, ebay, rolls, pawn shops, etc. The usual suspects.
To BUY coins? Ebay and the BST forum here. Occasionally VCoins.com, if I'm after ancients or medieval stuff.
Buying top quality Seated Dimes in Gem BU and Proof.
Buying great coins - monster eye appeal only.
