...it's morning time here

Well, I (a female coin-collector) was introduced to the wonders of coin collecting by my mother (a long-time collector) and by my son (a very young collector) and I have now been addicted for several years.
I have, on occasion, been dismissed while in one particular coin store. I got the impression that they didn't expect to be selling anything worthwhile to a young woman who was accompanied only by her small son.
However, my regular coin store is fabulous. The dealer always keeps aside coins that I (or my son) may be interested in, and he is very patient. He also loves to chat stamps with my son whenever we are there if he has free time.
It can make a HUGE difference to a prospective collector when they find a dealer who is not only patient and helpful, but also actively encourages the newbie.
