<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1784802, member: 26302"]Exactly. I know of two very well respected ancient dealers living in rural MN, one clear up by Lake Superior. Coin stores are an antiquated model for the hobby. Most of them nowadays basically pay the bills by buying old coins off of non-collectors who inherit them and wholesaling them out or selling on Ebay. To try to say number of brick and mortar stores is an indicator of the health of the hobby is to completely ignore the internet. I would say the interent has had a more profound affect on this hobby than almost anything I can think of.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
