[QUOTE="scotty1418, post: 669352, member: 19976"]I wanted to get a general feel before actually explaining what happened ;) to avoid possibly embarassing myself. So I went in and very politely asked the owner if I could obtain his opinion of grades for several coins and he came off very offended that I would bring coins from OTHER dealers into HIS shop. He proceeded to run through the 2 pages of 2x2s in 30 seconds "This one is cleaned, this is polished, this one is low grade....etc" and thrust them back at me and said "I need to help the next person now".:rolling: Needless to say I was shocked and just grabbed my items and left. There have been other instances when I tried to visit during my lunch hour and received a "we're busy, come back later" comment, but this was the icing on the cake for me never returning again. Come to think of it, I've only seen little old ladies selling and people buying junk silver there anyways. Maybe the lack of any other collectors in attendance should have been a red flag. Disappointing as it is the closest of 3 shops I go to as well. Thanks for lending an ear. I know I wont find that behavior here :bow:[/QUOTE]
