✓ Regardless of whether you are buying on line or from a physical store, always check the
reputation of the dealer first. If you are buying from a store, check with the local Better
Business Bureau anything regarding the business dealing of the store in question.
✓ See if the dealer is also a member of the Professional Numismatists Guild, (PNG). The PNG
is a non-profit body of experts in rare coins, paper money and precious metals.
✓ The primary objective of this body is to maintain a standard of professionalism among its
members. Thus, if the dealer is registered with the PNG, it means that he has to follow a code
of ethics laid out for the PNG.
✓ Always check the feedback of the seller. Negative feedback should raise some warning bells.
