Hobbies And Interests
Shops
Silver coins and currency can be bought directly from dealers owning coin shops. They will often sell expertly graded currency or slabbed silver coins or what collectors call graded coins, and will guarantee their authenticity. Dealers at shops sell coins at retail prices to cover their services and overhead costs.
Auctions
Currency and silver coins can be bought at specialized collectible money auctions, estate auctions, or at auctions selling general goods. These coins and currency can be bought at below retail, especially if they're sold in large lots or collections. The coins will usually be sold ungraded, with no guarantee of authenticity. Knowledgeable collectors can find good deals at auctions.
Online Sales
Collectible silver coins and currency can be bought on the Internet from dealers who also have brick and mortar shops. They can be bought from online auctions from other collectors, or from auction houses running collectible money auctions. These sources usually have return policies. The disadvantage is not viewing beforehand the items you are buying.
