Since I am pretty close to you, which store are you talking about if you don't mind. I have been in one in York but wasn't impressed.
Ah yes, I have been there. (It's not really a store though) I took a quick peek since I was in a hurry last time I was there. They had mostly stuff I don't collect. I did not really look at prices. Next time we decide to go, I'll take a longer stroll through the place and ask them if they have anything I may be interested in. By the way, I didn't think Morningstar would be open this time of year.
I have a lot of respect for coin stores. The ones that just say "Coin Shop" are so dedicated. You have so many these days that mass market bullion/sell your children.
Well do your homework before you go next time, and have an idea what you would like to look at. There is also a guy in I think the third building towards the back that usually has some nice coins. I really don't spend too much time looking for coins at flea markets, it's usually just to give my future wife a chance to look at furniture "deals", pocket book "deals", whatever she wants "deals", etc.
Went to a coin shop 40 miles away(closest around). Every coin there their was made after 1916. No seated liberty, no busts. They didn't even know what a Barber coin was!
This is sad, when I was 17 I was at a low point in my life. I had already moved out and was the only one in my family who stayed in Iowa. I was so poor, that I had to dip into my dancos to buy food. I believe I bought taco bell with mercury dimes. The only upside is that when I straightened my life out I was motivated to fill up my danscos again.
you know whats good about a kindle you can buy coin books for it and have it on 1 small device how cool is that
If I went in their to sell my 1905 Barber 1/2 Dollar (speaking of the post '16 store) they'd probably ask me what the **** I'm tryin' to sell them.
