How do I find other collectors to trade coins with?

Question: I live on the west coast and collect Presidential dollars and state quarters with my grand children. We get lots of Denver mints but no Philly mints. I would like to find some one on the east coast to trade with.

My Answer: You might try some of the coin collecting forums. A lot of collectors hang out there and there is lots to learn and share in these communities.

Just post your request in a couple of them and I wouldn't be surprised if someone else is looking for the same thing you are.

You usually have to be a registered member to post in forums but most of them are free to join. You can do a search for coin collecting forums or bulletin boards, or you can try one of the links below.
