Let it not be said that the only place that I buy coins is on eBay.

I found another Vam today! It's a duplicate, but I think that it may grade a little better than the one that I have in my set. It's a 1924 VAM 2 Doubled Reverse Peace Dollar. I got it out of my local coin dealers common box. He doesn't take the time to search through them for varieties when he buys them so I have a perfect opportunity to find that "diamond in th ruff". This is the third one that I have pulled out of his common and junk silver boxes in the last two weeks. So far I've gotten about seven from his inventory. None of them have been extremely rare ones but for the price who can argue? I'll have more money tied up in getting one of the three graded and attributed then I have in actually buying all of them.I've gotten some other very good buys from him also and although eBay has provided the bulk of my collection it's not the only place that I look for coins. I go to coin shows, shops, and flea markets. I'll buy from friends, family, etc. as well as online auctions like eBay, Heritage and Teletrade. I'm not very picky. Just as long as it's legal, I'll go there. It just goes to show that "luck" is what you make it and where you look for it. If you take the time to learn the coin(s) and how to grade them and sometimes are willing to search where others don't want to you might be surprised what you can find.This is one of my most recent "good" buys from my local dealer. I bought it as an AU.Happy HuntingMikeCollectors
