It's been my experience that paying by check 'makes the world go around' in the coin business -- compared with cash and credit cards. Some dealers do accept credit cards, but many don't, as their profit margin is often too thin. Cash is also usually accepted -- although it can cause negative issues (as others have mentioned).
Most dealers prefer a check -- as long as they have confidence that the check is good. The coin dealer community is fairly 'tight-knit' and at a large show it's pretty easy to find out if a potential purchaser has a 'solid' payment history.
