Dealer: Get on Mark Feld's mailing list and check his website: markfeldcoins.com
Advice: Don't buy anything for a year and spend that time learning and looking at as many coins as possible before pulling the trigger; remember there is no substitute for seeing coins in-hand, although buying on approval from dealers is close; find a mentor.

Good luck...Mike

Hi, Chris, and welcome.

I have had good dealings with Pinnacle in the past, and they are known to be very active in the classic commem area. There are many other established dealers who buy and sell classic commems. Of the ones from whom I have purchased coins on multiple occasions and who carry classic commems, I would add Mark Feld, Legend, and Coin Rarities Online to your list. Larry Whitlow also has an excellent reputation for such coins, but I have had only limited (but pleasant) dealings with this firm.

Good luck!

Skibum..... What grade(s) are you thinking of?

Barndog · July 7, 2008 8:53AM

I've had excellent customer service and coins from Pinnacle. Same deal with Legend, Larry Whitlow, Harry Laibstain, Mark Feld, David Lawrence, Rare Coins of NH, and -- if the auction route is an option (view the coins in hand or have an agent do so first) -- Heritage. There are plenty more

skibum, you will not go wrong with Pinnacle Rarities. I have enjoyed nothing but positive buying and selling experiences with them over several years.

Pinnacle is a great company with all the market knowledge you'll need about Commemoratives and are nice people to work with. Pinnacle alumni are among the best in the hobby as well.

I like Pinnacle a lot. My experiences with them have always been good.

tcmitssr · July 8, 2008 1:57AM

The best, IMHO as both a collector and Registy set player, is Rare Coins of New Hamshire. No one, and I mean no one, I think, grades coins better than Warren Mills. They are the best in customer service and offer a 30 day return policy.

Nothing but great things to say about Christine at Pinnacle. A definite asset to the hobby and very friendly dealer.

rkfish · July 8, 2008 5:33AM

You'll have no problems with Pinnacle.....one of the "top notch" companies in the industry.

GOLDGUY · July 9, 2008 10:13PM

Pinnacle? Who?

That is who I deal with directly. Pinnacle is a great outfit to deal with along with all the others listed here.
