Choosing a Good Dealer
Developing a relationship with a good dealer means extending your trust to someone who will work for you with your best interests in mind.
A good dealer will purchase for you, objectively, and not limit his offerings to his own inventory. Consider your dealer as your professional investment advisor, who should also be able to buy back inventory he/she has sold to you in the past to help you realize your investment potential.
Experience and longevity in the business is also a determining factor. Time and in-depth knowledge of the industry is key. There is no substitute for experience in numismatics, no four-week certification program, or masters degree either for that matter.
Your dealer should also, as a matter of course, be a member of the American Numismatic Association (ANA), an organization with stringent membership requirements.
