So, I looked on the online yellow pages, and all of them were antique shops with very few coins. I drive into town, and see a bill board for a coin shop called the coin shop. It made me so mad because I didn't leave early, so they were closed. Oh well, it's just money saved. Report this Post to the Staff

Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 06/12/2011 08:04 am Just to show a different perspective. You guys say money saved. I say missed opportunities. If it is only an hour away I would plane another mini vacation a few weeks from now and drop by just to see the offerings the place may have. Plus it will give you time to stash away a little more cash for the trip. Report this Post to the Staff

Bowfin Valued Member United States 296 Posts	Posted 06/13/2011 12:08 pm Don't overlook also going to the local banks for customer wrapped rolls. Especially the local brands if it's an older small 1 horse town. I used to make it a practice to carry boxes of rolled coins (searched already) to actually trade if they didn't have the quantity to spare selling me some. Just an idea...

In retrospect, not a bad attitude! I bid what I am willing to pay (more at times), and if it goes beyond that, I figure someone else wanted it more than me. Report this Post to the Staff
