BooYah Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 has anyone ever delt with any of the monthly accumulation programs offered by one of the numerous coin companies out there.if so who would you recomend? ive looked at a couple,and that seems like an expensive way to get coins just my 2 cents.

gxseries Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Not recommanded really. I mean, those companies have to make a profit somehow, and obviously, those profits have to come out from you. And you know what that means. (you pay more for the coins) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooYah Posted June 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 well i was coming around to your way of thinking.i just needed that extra push.but it sure seems tempting to the new hobbiest like me that has no coin shops within 300 miles...,and has relatively a small amount of coinage. thanx for the input im starting to realize now the hard way that knowledge is the key Hmmm......i've heard that somewere before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Most definately, it would be best if you read such numis. materials. That way, you can get what you wish to get. Here is a decent world coin gallery that I have seen so far: http://worldcoingallery.com/ Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abish Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 I've tried it before, when I was just getting started on coins... when I cancelled due to substandard, grossly over-priced coins, they stopped sending the coins, but kept trying to bill me every month. I would strongly advise aginst them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28Plain Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Having no coinshop nearby doesn't have to be an obstacle. Watch the advertising forums here and PM the advertisers who have coins for trade or sale. Letting other members know what you want to acquire can help you find some starter pieces or lots. Most members here do some buying online and know of good online dealers who are trustworthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stujoe Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 My thoughts also, Posts what you need in buy or trade areas, Rick <{POST_SNAPBACK}> hardly ever sell anything but forums are a great way to make contacts, buy from long time sellers and collectors and get dealer recommendations from.
