Who is your favorite dealer...

... from whom you have never purchased a coin?

That's a tough one for me, and I will answer it later. Suffice to say, it is very hard for me to come up with a dealer's name that fits the bill. image

    CRO. But my finger hovers above the "buy" button on my keyboard (what, you don't have one?) all the time.

    They're going to get a big 'ol stack of my money some day. Sooner rather than later.

    I have purchased coins from all of the above, even DB. I can only think of one major active dealer...

    Interesting question. For me probably Dave Weygant (djwcoin). I've never bought a coin from him but I always like his inventory. He always has very nice coins and I'm sure I'll eventually pick one up from him.

    My favorite dealer is one I've never purchased a coin from.

    "Favorite" mandates one. I can think of about 8 or 10 whose inventories I love and from whom I can not afford to buy. image

    Easy one it has to be Julian. Great guy who has been so nice to me since I started coming to shows when I was like 7. However, never managed to buy from him. I can't think of many dealers who I haven't bought at least something from.

    Doug Winter and Printz come to mind - love talking with them but we've never connected on a transaction.

    John Albanese and David Hall come to mind, for me.

    I have done business with every name mentioned here, so far, which is pretty scary given the diverse range of specialties, business styles, venues, etc.

    There are quite a few that I've never purchased from - but you asked for our favorites. image

    I have to say that I have bought coins from
    all but one of the dealers previously mentioned.

    I have yet to buy anything from Joe O'Conner,

    Russ. Don't know if he considers himself a dealer, though.

    You mean this site! I also have seen him post several coins the last little while on Ebay.

    Sal Gemano - I have sold some coins to him. He's fair, his prices are reasonable, and he doesn't have an attitude. I just haven't found anything he had which worked for me yet.
