<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1474473, member: 19463&quot;]The problem remains that most dealers and most customers they serve really don&#039;t care for coins at all.&nbsp; What they care about is how much a coin is worth.&nbsp; Most of the storefront coin shops I have seen recently look like a place to buy and sell bullion at melt plus or minus a fee.&nbsp; Some may have &#039;collector&#039; coins as well but that is not what pays the rent and not what the owner cares about.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you think I am wrong about this just count up the number of posts on CT that relate to &#039;what it is worth&#039; compared to any other category.&nbsp;&nbsp; We can hardly think the general public who patronize coin store/scrap dealer combinations (what most of them have become) to care about the coins more than those who post to a discussion group or the dealers who service those bullion transactions to care about anything but the dollar value of the deal.&nbsp; That &#039;&#039;show me the money&quot; attitude soon develops into the fat cat buffoon dealer stereotype we all know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
