I've generally had good experiences with physical shops. The ones where I've had bad experiences, I simply don't return. My first initiation was...
I finished finishing sets over a decade ago, selling a bunch of stuff I acquired as a teen in the 1990s and pivot it into nicer coins for the more...

I live in NE OH and spent the first 24 years of my life in Michigan, so there are lots of Canadian coins mixed in our change in the Great Lakes...
I hoard all 1922-1981 Canadian 5 cent coins that I can get for face value or as cheaply as possible. They are 100% nickel. It's fun for me....
