Knowledge Is Useful

She also had some notes, but read the thread in the notes forum if you wanna know how that went...

No, she needed to check the value of them for her uncles estate. I talked to her when she left and gave her my name and number. She asked for it and seemed eager to sell them. She agreed with my thoughts and said the guy was a grouch and not very polite. I don't think I can affort the $20 gold piece. But I think she will sell me the small gold coin and the currency. I'm excited... lol

Rick,
Yes, they do need to keep the door open. However, I think you would just need to see the shop to know what I mean. I was trying to look around and he has so much stuff in the way you can't even get through the whole store. I had to move stacks of comic books just to look at his currency. I had to kneel down just to look at his Mercury dimes. You ask if he has something and he just sais yes. He doesn't get it for you, he doesn't give you a price, heck he wont even give you the grade. He wanted 50 cents a piece for currency holders. I mean, this guys a jerk... Hes got some AWESOME coins, but his customer service department is lacking the perfection he needs to do business.

Sounds like he was giving her bullion price or less. I agree with Metalman that we need more info on the coins for final judgement.

I'm so glad that my favorite coin shop is organized, knowledgeable and most importantly honest. I've found some good deals in the messy shops on occasion but, the reverse being that they low-ball for lack of knowledge and caring about the collectors. Unfortunately, it's the folks who don't know what they have that are prey to unscrupulous dealers, etc.
