I found this interesting. This is from the US Mint website.

Here are some sources to build your collection. (The United States Mint does not recommend, regulate, or endorse individual providers of goods or services.)
Banks: Search through rolls of coins you buy from your local bank.
The United States Mint: Add coins you purchase directly from the United States Mint's catalog, either in print or online at catalog.usmint.gov.
Collectors: Other collectors sell or trade coins either privately or at coin clubs.
Coin dealers: Coin dealers buy or trade coins. You may want to ask an experienced collector to suggest reputable dealers. Just watch out for scams. Dealers may run shops, and/or be found here:
Coin shows: Compared to individual shops, these usually offer multiple dealers, a better selection, and more competitive prices.
Mail order: Numismatic publications run dealer ads, but check for a reasonable return policy before ordering, and satisfactory coins on receipt.
Online: Hundreds of dealers offer coins on the Internet. Again, check for a reasonable return policy before ordering, and satisfactory coins on receipt.
Auctions: The rarest and most expensive coins often are available only through auction houses and online auctions. In either case, check prices in shops first to avoid overpaying, check for a reasonable return policy before ordering, and make sure the coins are satisfactory when you get them.
Flea markets, antique shows, and craft fairs: Sometimes coins can be found at these events as a secondary source, but less competition can mean inflated prices and problem coins. Be careful.
