!I was staying with friends in the suburbs of Vegas some years ago.
I took a trip into town to visit whatever coin dealers I could find, searching for ancient coins. I found two dealers, but I could not hide my Aussie accent, and so they immediately assumed '
tourist!', and immediately jacked their prices up.
Somewhat of a pity.
At reasonable prices, I did have some money to spend, but not on that occasion, unfortunately.
It is a safe bet that you would have done better than me. In hindsight, I would have wished that you could have been with me
