<p>[QUOTE="MatthewT, post: 3027675, member: 93403"]So, long story short, tomorrow morning/afternoon I need to take my car and accumulate some highway miles. This is because some of my engine systems have not completed a full measurement/reading since the last time I cleaned my battery. I was denied my car inspection because of this and was told some high RPM mileage should do the trick.</p><p>Anyway, I decided to look up some coin stores that were a decent drive away. I stumbled on one at a mall some 20miles from my house. I called to confirm there business hours and plan to visit them tomorrow afternoon. I mean, I don’t want to drive on the highway and not have anywhere to go!</p><p>So! This will be my first time going to a coin shop. I am exited! I’m only bringing $100 so don’t expect to go too crazy! </p><p>Anywho, if anyone can share there experience with coin shops please chime in! Any advice is really appreciated. I’m mainly looking for some hole fillers and what’s called “junk silver” in coin series I don’t have many of. ( silver quarters pre 1932, dimes pre 1964 ( expecially barber/Mercury), and definitely any half dollars that aren’t Kennedy’s. Lol. My “constitutional silver “ collection is not very vast so I’m sure they’ll have plenty of things I don’t have. I’d like advice in what kinda deals I should expect/be looking for. I have only purchased coins online or at flea markets, will it be similar? What should I expect a “bargain bin” to contain? Are the chances high that they’ll even have one? That’s probably what I’m most interested in. Silver quarters for under $6, dimes under 4$. As long as there’s a date it’s good enough for me! Am I being realistic or will I be devestatingly disappointed?</p><p>One thing I do plan on bringing is the small list of coins I need to complete the books I currently have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
