<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Machiavelli, post: 18973, member: 1466&quot;]Today I decided to go to a local dealer I have done business with before, he, from what I remembered was an allright guy. Upon walking into his shop to buy some various containers and holders for loads of coins lying around back home, I noticed almost all of his coins were extremely ragged... and yet had high grade marks on them (this of course raised my speculation). Also alot of his coins and currency were extremely high priced.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;I then walked to the counter pulled out 2 civil war, war bonds my great grandmother had givin to my grandmother who had givin them to me. I wanted holders for them because they have been in an envelop the whole time and I wanted them safe... Pulling out the war bonds I ask him for some holders that will fit them... He emidiatly tells me they are counterfit and there worth nothing. Please note... 1.he glanced at them and said it 2. after saying it picked them up to look at them 3. put them back down and said again there worthless...</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The way he said it made me get the impression of him trying to pull the wool over my eyes as you old tymers like to say <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> . I told him I didnt care if there counterfit and that I would still like the holders. I for one know there not fake 1. because my great grandmothers dad was&nbsp; in the civil war and that is were they came from.&nbsp; 2. ive read online all the differences between the war bonds suchs as some were printed on old news print to save paper etc. and 3. I know there not worth much.. the ones I have are pretty ragged but there pure centimental value.. there family heritage which to me is priceless.</p><p><br /></p><p>Least to say I wasnt to happy with his professionalism, but i put it out of my mind and continued on with my purchase. I asked for some air tites for some nickels and half dollars. Which i recieved, I then asked if they sold any coin albums for Morgan dollars (pulling out 1 of my morgans I brought with me) explaining to him that there in air tites and that I need an album for years that will fit air tites. Immediantly he asked were I got the Morgan from and that the 1887 morgan wasnt a good year. I explained to him that I got the morgan for christmas along with alot of other coins and that this is just an 1887 out of a collection of 1880-1900 noted that I do have years that need to be purchased such as 82 84 88 etc.. He then seemed to calm down a little bit and from then on tell the end of my transaction he seemed like the guy I met 5 years prior when i was a wee lad... chances are he doesnt remember me and simply stated those opinions to try and get me to get rid of them (which i wont)... least to say I did not like the professionalism and will probably (Most likely) will not be doing business with him in the future.....</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now... were in the world can i find a decent dealer that is genuine and just wants to help get the items and coins or currency your looking for... I have 2 more coin shops in my area... wellll more like antique shops with coin sections in them... the place i was at was strickly coinage and currency the other 2 are actuall antique shops with coin sections in them... I will visit them in the future and see if they are reputable... I would love to find a good coin shop around my area that has a professional manner along with cheap prices and friendly survice&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Mach[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
