<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 7612621, member: 110350&quot;]To be fair, Stack&#039;s does have a number of display cases with coins for sale -- including a couple with ancient coins, both slabbed and unslabbed -- inside the entrance to the store. I suspect, though, that the atmosphere is a bit intimidating for the average walk-in customer, what with the uniformed security guard who asks you your business and whether you have an appointment!</p><p><br /></p><p>I debated with myself whether to list Paul Bosco, who is quite a character. (He usually has a table at the annual NYINC if you want to meet him.)&nbsp; His inventory is indeed amazing, and back around 20 years ago I bought quite a few coins and historical medals from him. The main problems are that (1) his store -- which has changed location several times -- rarely seems to be open, (2) he takes forever to respond to emails at any of his several email addresses, and sometimes doesn&#039;t respond at all; and (3) he has a website listing his inventory, but you can&#039;t buy directly from the website. You&#039;re supposed to email him. See No. 2.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once in a while, he sells on ebay.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you ever do find his store open, he&#039;s happy to sit and chat with you for a long time, about coins and medals and life.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
