I was wanting to know if LDRCoins is a good B&M store for a beginner that knows a good amount about coins. It is sort of close, but I wouldn't want my parents to waste their gas to take me there if it isn't worth it.

Assuming you are referring to LDRC in Indianapolis; Matt from LDRC is a reputable and knowledgeable dealer. However he tends to deal in higher end items. I would suggest calling ahead of time to see if he has what your looking for. I would also suggest checking out the 71st and Keystone coin show in Indianapolis on the 2nd Sunday of every month. The next one is October 14th from 9-3:30. Hopes this helps...

Yes I was referring to LDRC. Thank you for the information. I asked because I went on their ebay page and they had some cheap stuff, but I didn't know if they would have anything in my budget at the actual store. Also, what building is this coin show in and what is it called. |

Matt from Lost Dutchmen is a sponsor on another coin site as well as host of The Coin Show. Excellent podcast for coins. Never been to his shop but if I am ever in Indy, it is on my list of places to visit.

Have never been in his store but I do buy from him online from time to time. Matt is a very nice guy and does offer a variety of high and low end coins. The easiest way to know what he has to offer is to email and ask him.

The Indiana State coin Show is also coming up in Indianapolis Nov 2,and 3rd http://www.coinshows.com/indianapolis_isna.htmlSince you are a YN you might want to attend the junior auction at 1PM Saturday Coins and supplies are donated by collectors and dealers and every YN who attends is given $250 in auction money they can use to bid. (All sales are for auction money only and only kids/YN's are allowed to bid.) And you get to keep whatever you are successful bidding on. All kinds of things show up in the auction. In the past there has even been gold and platinum but that was awhile back when it was a lot cheaper. But anyway you can have so fun bidding in an auction and come away with some free stuff. There are ways to earn additional auction money but I don't know the details and it is probably too close to the show now to earn much. |

I have visited Matt's shop in Indianapolis. As an entry level collector you will find quite a bit of inventory in your price range even though his web site does focus on higher end pieces.

That is wonderful Conder101. I was going to go on Friday because I was busy Sunday, but now I might have to make some time to go. Do you have to register before the show or what? Penny Guy, thank you. You actually answered my question although everyone helped. I will be going there next time I get paid.

If you ever get near Lafayette Indiana, I would recommend Smith's Coins on Sagamore Parkway. They have a wide variety and are always very friendly.

Alright, I will keep that in mind. Where are they exactly? Also, Condor101, can you check you email?
