<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coleguy, post: 1477472, member: 9167&quot;]I prefer shopping in person at my loacl coin shops. But, to be honest, they only carry the basics. Where would one go to find a rare token of which only 10 are known, or a rare note from a local bank? Ebay and other online venues open up a world of collecting that 1000 shops cannot compete with. It&#039;s just not possible for any one shop to have everything one collector might want, requiring other options be needed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m luck in that I have three shops within a 20 mile drive. I work on-call and don&#039;t have the luxury of planning a trip to a distand shop or a show, nor do I have the option of taking days off. But, I have friends who would have to drive in excess of 300 miles to locate the nearest coin shop. That would consume an entire day.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t get me wrong, I&#039;m a huge advocate for shopping in and experiencing the personal attention that only a coin shop can offer. But many times other means must be utilized. Thats just life.</p><p>Guy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
