I get basically everything off eBay and from IRL auctions/sales, metal detecting as well. Been doing it for 25 years though so if you're a noob then going to the local coin shops (some pawn shops can have decent selections too) will be best and safest place to start because all the fakes online are a minefield for people who don't know what they're doing.

Regarding pawn shops, almost a decade ago an acquaintance in Virginia found an 1830 $2.50 Templeton Reed "Georgia Gold" privately minted coin at a pawn shop and bought it for f'in 24 karat melt/spot price +5%, so basically bullion price.

Not uncirculated or anything but he easily flipped it for thousands, awesome scores do exist but 99.8% of the "awesome scores" out there are just fakes and swindles so please don't even try if you're new, you'll get screwed 100% guaranteed.
