<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2110710, member: 17665"]I still live over 30 miles from any coin venue so when I was a kid I had to find a store that sold coin collecting supplies. My favorite was called Melvin's Drug Store in Gt. Barrington, ma. Burned down a long time ago but I'll never forget the 10 foot high shelving, narrow aisles and it was the only place to find folders, books, magnifiers and all that stuff. Yes a soda fountain and grill also. Spent many a Friday night there trying to figure how far I could stretch my money. Old Melvin Katz was a bit crotchety but he was also a collector and always willing to guide me. Share some of your experience's also. Memory lane can be a good thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
