Then there is the 5th floor at Carson&#039;s on State Street I think State and Monroe, A few blocks South of Madison. Madison is the dividing line of the City where if you go North the street numbers go up and if you go South of there the street numbers go up. That store is big so it is also on Wabash. If you go there and a big fat guy tries to wait on you, leave. He will overcharge like you wouldn&#039;t believe. If one of his helpers is there, you can usually geta good deal although there supplies are limited. I&#039;ve heard that Marshfield has a coin shop but have never found it and from what I know of their prices, I don&#039;t think I want to find it. If you were planning on staying for a while there is a flea market on Manheim Road, just North of North Ave by a block or so on the East side of the street. Not sure of the name of the suburb it&#039;s in and I&#039;ve been going there for many years. Might be Melrose Park. Other side of North ave is Stone Park. North Ave is route 64 I think. Inside there are usually 4 or 5 coin dealers. The one on the far South wall, Roy, is a nice guy and prices are not that bad. Then there is Ron, about the third to the last aisle on the South of the place that had great prices. Tell him Carl sent you and you want big discounts or you&#039;ll tell Carl, that&#039;s me. Around the Chicago area there are coin shows every weekend. Usually the one in Itasca on the third Sunday of each month is small but decent prices. The one in Countryside on the second Sunday is coming up on this November 13th. I&#039;m going to that one. There is one also in a suburb called Lamont but never was able to find it. I&#039;m going to Harlan&#039;s next week to buy some new coin albums.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
