We have a lot of discussion on buying coins that meet our personal standards. Where are we basically buying our coins?

The problem with this poll is that only one choice is permitted.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Yeah. I have done all except Online auction after in hand inspection.

Yes, I thought about that so I asked, "Where are we BASICALLY buying our coins?" Hopefully, not too many people have even 50-50 split. : )
Most of my coins have come from private transactions.
Interesting!
More than one of the above: local coin dealer, local coin show, eBay. I look for very different things from each seller.
The largest purchase I made this month consisted of seven pieces of exonumia from an estate via a friend in another state. Where does that fit in your poll?
All of the above!
Shouldn't that be "predominantly " not "basically" if that's what you intend?

All of the above. Can't be answered as is.

What is so special about May 1, 2021? I might have understood if you asked since the beginning of the pandemic. The date cutoff seems so random and irrelevant.
Most of the above, I like to be flexible, attention to detail, knowledge and a sense of value. I'm okay with that. Peace Roy

eBay. Not a choice but I’m a creature of habit 😉🙀🦫

I missed that one. : ) - private transactions
Yes!
I initially wanted to say past year; but, that was too vague. I did not want to say since the beginning of the pandemic because that would pretty much eliminate in person transactions.
Coin shows with some online, fwiw
Ebay and through members here.

I've bought very little in the past year. I think the mot was from the Mint.
Brick and mortars, Great Collection auctions, BST, Coin Talk BST and Collective Coin.
I chose coin show but I also went to brick and mortar coin dealers and also bought quite a few coins from members of the forum.

For me it’s been almost all of the above. The pandemic forced me to do more on-line, both in auctions and from dealers. The FUN shows, summer and winter, have been my only coin shows over the past couple of years. That is my preferred venue by far.
How come no option for Walmart parking lots?

Private transactions and the U.S. Mint.... Cheers, RickO
The final results of 34 votes on seven given options shows 52% of the participants bought from online auctions based on pictures. Today many collectors believe that these seemingly high auction prices are based on the belief a coin can be upgraded. Based on this survey, I wonder how many can be confident their bidding will result in an upgrade based on just pictures and not a coin in hand.
Very little purchased since May of 2021 but what I did purchase I purchased at a coin show.
