Tell Us All Who The Good Dealers Are! :)

bhartman35 · December 19, 2006 6:56AM

I've seen a couple of threads today talking about good dealers and good experiences, so let's start a thread devoted just to that! Tell us all who your favorite dealers are, and as many details as you're comfortable with.

derryb · December 19, 2006 6:58AM

Duval Coins, Atlantic Blvd., Jacksonville, FL. Don't know his name but a great guy willing to help a newbie.

BECOKA · December 19, 2006 7:01AM

Do a search, there are multiple threads dedicated to this.

Some may cringe but I have had great dealings with Legend and David Lawrence. I have heard great things about Mark Feld.

mirabela · December 19, 2006 7:04AM

Tim Puro, Rutland, VT (VTCoins on the board) is a fair guy -- or more than fair -- with a decent array of collectorish stuff and a conservative grading eye. He's a good one to buy from or sell to, and you cannot say both of those things about all that many coin dealers.

, Larry Whitlow's, and Coinlieutenant

When in Wisconsin, near the Wisconsin Dells, about 19 miles from the Dells is a very small town called "LaValle". As You pull into town, just before the only left turn, there is a small Antique Mall and Coin shop called E & S Coins. Ed is also a farmer and works in a small foundry while Sandi is at the shop most of the time!
They are very nice people, Very knowedgable on coins and VERY reasonable prices! If He can't get it He has a friend who pretty much can get what You want! He even submits my coins to be graded by either PGCS or NGC, He is a member of both! He does'nt charge me for any extra charges, Just The slabbing fee and shipping, handling and insurance, no hidden fees!

E & S Coins
211 Main Street
LaValle, Wi. 53941

Well worth the trip if You are in the area!
My Wife and I make the 162 Mile drive from Milwaukee, sometimes 3 times a month! (My Wife goes to the casino and I go to the coin store) If She wins at gambling which She usually does, the Indians are paying for My Gold!!

Anyways check the place out!!

SilverEagles92 · December 19, 2006 8:05AM

Alpine Numismatic Inc.& Carl Wohlforth.

I have to put in a good word for Angel Dee's.

Every coin I have bought from them has been sight unseen, and every one of them has been a stunner.
I've never had to return a coin. I'll usually call Andy and get a verbal description from him so if it doesn't sound like something I'd like we don't waste time and money shipping stuff back and forth.

Of course, there are a lot of good dealers out there and a lot of threads on the subject, so I would suggest searching for them to see what others may have to say.

ColonialCoinUnion · December 19, 2006 8:27AM

Some nice names on this list - though I would say the selection of a good dealer depends what you're buying.

So, what are you buying?

Goober · December 19, 2006 8:28AM

Positive purchases with CoinLT, Russ, Carl W, David Lawrence, Cohodk, and Dragon. Of course that's all I can think of now.

dtkk49a · December 19, 2006 8:28AM

Among my favorite ebay sellers = MNMCOIN, BUDDYSEVEN, GREATONING, FREDWEINBERG and CWTGUY

mrpaseo · December 19, 2006 8:34AM

I'm not sure who's list this is but it was built and posted on the internet at some point...

The only two people I've bought from (to my knowledge, so far) are Daniel Carr and Al Palmeri (grip). I had good experiences with both. I haven't bought from any really good brick-and-mortar places recently.

PerryHall · December 19, 2006 9:13AM

Let's not forget those dealers that participate on this forum and take the time to share their knowledge with us. Julian Leidman, Laura Sperber, Mike Beyers, and Fred Weinberg come to mind but I'm sure there are many others.

Julio · December 19, 2006 9:18AM

BECOKA · December 19, 2006 9:30AM

<< hells fire....I wanna know who the wannabes are! >>

That would be just about all of us who have sold a coin on e-bay.

Oh wait, that includes the non-wannabes....

bhartman35 · December 19, 2006 9:33AM

<< Let's not forget those dealers that participate on this forum and take the time to share their knowledge with us. Julian Leidman, Laura Sperber, Mike Beyers, and Fred Weinberg come to mind but I'm sure there are many others. >>

Well said! I think we should definitely add Mark Feld and Conder101 (although I don't recall his real name) to the list.

Condor101 is a dealer??
does he have a web site?

sweetwilliet · December 19, 2006 9:43AM

Don Rinkor is an excellent source for pl/dmpl morgans, he ships promptly with quality coins.

I thought so, but I'm not so sure now...

I just didn't want to forget anyone who I thought deserved honorable mention.

USAROK · December 19, 2006 11:40AM

I'm happy to recommend any of these dealers:

Larry Whitlow, Ltd - Mike Printz
Pinnacle Rarities
Legend
Heritage
John Marburger - coinlieutenant on the forums
Dennis Tarrant - numisma on the forums
Jade Rare Coins
Northeast Numismatics
U.S. Coins, Inc. - Bonnie Sabel
Anaconda Rare Coins - Brandon Kelley

WTCG · December 19, 2006 11:48AM

Most of those dealers previously mentioned are good, but don't forget guys like Kevin Lipton, John Schuch and the folks at Spectrum...they're all good dealers as well.

Now, in regards to those dealers previously mentioned, how many people here have actually had good firsthand experiences with those dealers, and not recommending them based on secondary information or word of mouth from others?

grip · December 19, 2006 12:04PM

<< Some nice names on this list - though I would say the selection of a good dealer depends what you're buying.

So, what are you buying? >>

..

..And also not a one,or two time purchase.That's not enough coins to purchase from any dealer to
give an honest opinion of hes credability.

ccr · December 19, 2006 12:04PM

At the risk of being redundent, here are ones I recommend ( plus others as I don`t want to be too redundent ):

Thanks for the good words folks!

I have had many successful transactions with the dealers listed as well as many of the posters to this thread. Some of my happiest have been with Mark Feld and Pinnacle. But I have had many others that were very happy.

USAROK · December 19, 2006 1:41PM

<< Now, in regards to those dealers previously mentioned, how many people here have actually had good firsthand experiences with those dealers, and not recommending them based on secondary information or word of mouth from others? >>

I've dealt with all in my list above. I should add:

Carl's Coins - Carl Wohlforth
David Lawrence Rare Coins
John Rosenthal - tonelover on the boards

and I expect I'll be able to add J.J. Teaparty to my list soon. I just purchased a nice looking Seated Liberty Dollar for my Dansco 7070 Type Set that's on it's way to me right now.

saintguru · December 19, 2006 10:55PM

For QUALITY high end coins...

HERITAGE
Legend
Pinnacle Rarities
US Coins
Doug Winter
Joe O'Connor (VERY high end type coins)
Larry Whitlow, Ltd - Mike Printz

TwoSides2aCoin · December 19, 2006 11:07PM

I agree whole heartedly. Tim's a stand up guy and I for one look forward to doing lots of business with him in the future-

NH484000 · December 20, 2006 12:51AM

I have also had very positive experiences buying from Heritage, and most recently from board member Stuart.

Heritage is NOT the old Heritage.

They get the great coins, they run the best auctions, they are more accomodating then most people know and every aspect of their customer service is polite, efficient and very fast.

I've come 180 degrees since 4 years ago and I am a good customer as a result.

Thanks Matt. I also like both buying from you and selling to you. You like the same kind of coins I do.

I was in Tim's shop today. Great guy.

It was great seeing you Norm. Thanks for the business!

I agree whole heartedly. Tim's a stand up guy and I for one look forward to doing lots of business with him in the future.

Thanks Al! Hope you like the PCGS Peace Dollar we just sent you.

I agree. Heritage has done a great deal to improve their customer service over the last 1-2 years. I think they do an outstanding job at the present time -- very efficient.

PonyExpress8 · December 20, 2006 10:00AM

Harry Laibstain, David Weygandt, Dick Osburn, RCNH, Pinnacle, Jack Beymer, Legend and locally in the Sacramento area Folsom Coins and Currency have all been excellent to deal with. From here Aireplanenut and P8nt do a great job as well.

Tell Us All Who The Good Dealers Are! :)
