I like the friendly ones, as long as it isn't something egregious, like trying to pass off dreck to me. I try to be polite, try to read the dealer...
Could it be shilling?
I like #1 the best. For example, the manager of the local coin store is very nice, and if it's a raw coin, a variant of #1 happens. If the place...

:(:arghh:
[ATTACH] It took 2,000 years to create this toner. I'd be happy with some rainbow toning on the Morgan obverse, though. I'm not familiar with...
