<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1918073, member: 41863&quot;]So I went by Hyatt today and I must say I rather enjoyed myself. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a huge gun/coin shop with a very nice coin display setup in a showroom immediately when you walk in. </p><p><br /></p><p>I spent about 2 hours there today and was helped by one of the family members named Mitch Hyatt. Very nice fella a few years older than myself and he was quite helpful with trying to fill all of my requests and with answering any questions I had. </p><p><br /></p><p>I brought along plenty of material and albums to ensure that I would walk away with a few decent purchase and I was pleasantly surprised to realize I walked out with a coin from almost every category I was searching. </p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t hesitate to let Mitch know exactly what I wanted to see when I arrived. I gave the store a cursory glance to get my bearings and set in asking for some graded seated quarters. Turns out they had about 10-15 for me to look through (sorry no pics guys <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ),</p><p>While I was going through those I inquired about some other graded coins like large cents and bust halves, but that really wasn&#039;t their forte and so I settled in on the quarters&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Most of what I seen were proofs and several of those were simply outstanding. In fact I asked to have one priced and it came in at about about 5X over my budget for the day. </p><p><br /></p><p>I did see a beautiful 1891 with some gorgeous toning but it was at the high end of my budget and didn&#039;t really quite have that &#039;wow&#039; factor for me to spend all my money on one coin for the day. </p><p><br /></p><p>I finally zeroed in on another 1854, it was graded a little lower than what I&#039;m trying to collect, and it is also a duplicate, but she was quite nice and for the price I thought it was a fair purchase. I&#039;ll upload a picture later. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was also pleased to find some UNC Mexican pesos from the 20s that fit well with my set and I was able to add two new coins to that set for about $40. That was a very nice bonus. </p><p><br /></p><p>I picked up a handful of common date, well circulated (but with full dates) buffalo nickels to work on an album as a small side project. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was able to add I believe 3 new UNC Franklins to another set of those I am building.</p><p><br /></p><p>The last items I was able to pick up were some used albums. One was a near perfect buffalo nickel album to upgrade an album I was using that was missing slides. Old one was a Whitman album, new one is a Dansco. Also acquired an old Whitman pair of albums for a type set. Pretty cool as they look brand new but the dates stop at 1960. </p><p><br /></p><p>All in all it was a good day and very successful. I most certainly felt like I got some great deals today and&nbsp; will surely go back when i visit charlotte again. My fiancé is from there, so hopefully this will be a regular destination for me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and I almost forgot I ended up spending time (and money) in the gun shop. Turns out they had the holster I was needing for my Ruger 9mm. Last one on their shelf too. No sir I got no complaints on Hyatt today. Just an all around great experience and great shop. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you to the folks who recommended them, the visit was WELL worth my time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
