Coin dealers know coins. They generally don&#039;t know stamps - so they won&#039;t buy stamps, and they won&#039;t sell stamps. Shoot, the best coin dealers specialize even further - they know pennies, and so they won&#039;t buy or sell anything besides small size cents. Or PL Morgan dollars. Etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have been in a couple of shops where they had specifically hired someone for their knowledge of other areas. One shop was cool because it had a pretty good selection of antique guns along one wall. The owner was solely focused on coins, but he had hired someone to focus on military history because his clients had been asking for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
