<p>[QUOTE="deuce78, post: 1092419, member: 28195"]I'm in Colorado Springs and we have a great little shop here in town that I normally purchase all of my coins through. Though they're usually pretty busy, someone always says "hi" and will gladly answer any questions I might have. Recently their supply of higher graded Morgans was running low and I was making a trip up to Denver anyway so I decided to try a place new to me. There was only a couple of other customers in the place, so not very busy with the 5 employees and a security guy walking around. I asked to look at a couple of slabbed Morgans and the lady was pretty rude and wouldn't let me look at more than one at a time, so I made her pull them all out over and over. While I was looking the owner kept coming over and telling me that the Morgan I had picked was a "great" price, "wholesale". I just wanted to look and learn and take my time. While looking, the owner was working with another lady trying to sell some gold, and kept telling her to take it or leave it, the security guy told another employee to STFU and be quiet and it made for an overall pretty uncomfortable atmosphere. I bought my Morgan because it was a year and grade I was looking for and left and went next door to a smaller shop. I won't go back and the reviews on google were spot on about that place, but I figured I'd give it a go and I might find something. </p><p> </p><p>Makes me even more thankful for my great little shop here in the Springs...now if they could just up their inventory a little </p><p> </p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
