4 I think. One I haven't visited yet. There was one only about 10 minutes away but they closed two weeks ago :-( I hated to the small independent business close. They were nice people.

three coin/bullion stores with in a 20 minute drive not including gold/silver/pawn store but there are also 3 flea markets with 5 to 8 vendors at each. And a few coin clubs with auctions.
silver and gold are more popular down here so the flea markets and one lcs ar better for a variety collector like me

I'm travelling around Australia at the moment, and visited a local coin shop yesterday. Downtrodden, dirty â€" untidy - mess and litter on the floor. Limited and overpriced stock. Some stock without prices and assistance had no idea how much to charge. How do these places survive?

There are a few small coin dealers within 40 miles of where I live, but amazing to say I've sold much more to them than I've purchased from them

Still in Australia. Frustration. Spotted a large Antiques and Collectables store advertised â€" open 7 days 9 â€" 4. Thought I might be able to find something in coins. Drove for 50 mins and arrived just after 3 pm to find the place CLOSED. Guess I should have phoned ahead......  Dont these guys want my money  |

Only two in my immediate area, but they only deal with US coins and bullion, while I only collect ancient and medieval coinage. |

There's about half a dozen good ones in a 20 mile radius by me in the ft lauderdale, fl area. I'm sure there's more but I'm really happy with 1 and that's where I go mostly.

I have one near by that is a "coin" shop and advertised as such. I walked in one day and asked if they had any world coins, specifically Newfoundland or old Canada stuff. I was informed that world coins really don't have any value so they don't stock them. But the do have plenty of bullion. There are/were a few other dealers who also focused mainly on bullion. If I ask around enough I sometimes find people who have a small selection of world stuff to look at. So, I do most of my searching/purchasing on forums, ebay, etc online. |
