Was going to visit my LCS today but I got distracted. I like the guy there, he's in his 70's and does it mostly to get out of the house at this point. Not much up under the displays besides the usual selection of slabbed US and other US type coins, but if you know what you want he usually has something hiding out in his back room (I call it the cave). I collect Islamic and Indian so none of that really, but he does have some nice junk boxes which are good and solid as well as a good foriegn selection. Just gotta ask.
There's another shop I went to about 30 min. away, does the bullion thing, I walked out after he gave me a dirty look when I said I collect Islamic and Indian and did he have any coppers. Now if I see the big "WE BUY GOLD" sign it keeps me out. Been collecting 27 years and the gold/silver bugs are finally getting under my skin. The 1 grain silver ingots make me laugh. Oh and copper bars, seriously?
The gold/silver bugs will be all sad when the price goes down eventually. The only winners in the bullion game are the middle men who take a profit and keep the goods moving along.
