[QUOTE="acsf89, post: 998766, member: 27264"]So pretty much today yesterday (sunday) its now monday... I was looking all over the place...(almost all of washington) and not a single coin store was open that day...except for one... I was wondering..."[B]why are most coin stores closed on sundays???"[/B] And as for my [U]frustration[/U]...I called a certain coin shop (whose name I will not mention) and asked for Barber Half Dollars and he was like yes we do, im like yay then next thing you know he was telling me dates one by one.. "1822....1830..." and im like "what?" and he tells me that they are called Seated Barber Half Dollars....I'm like u mean Capped Bust Halves and he said confidently NO...and graded N? im like "what the hell is N?" N stands for nice, on a CG scale....and he tells me all this BS** about the CGS (coinography grading scale) im like u mean the Sheldon Grading Scale? and he's like what is that...ugh..I had to hang up.... If you're a Coin Shop...or any shop selling stuff...know your products first before setting up a shop where people might ask for information or inquire about an item... Its' people like these guys who put a [B]disgrace to our hobby[/B]...I find it [U]insulting[/U] for someone who thinks they know everything...hike up the price and have unsuspecting people purchase items from the 3x or even 4x its premium.... Do you see why we see less coin collectors???...because of people like him!!! sorry, I had to vent...I just wanted to talk about the long day I had yesterday -acsf89[/QUOTE]
