<p>[QUOTE=&quot;petro89, post: 1220914, member: 17048&quot;]I feel your pain!&nbsp; Of the 6 coin stores in the area I find myself going to only two of them because of </p><p>1. the others have become more metals dealers than coin stores (which is fine cause I like bullion too, but seriously they have lost touch)</p><p>2. they are lazy, and take less and less care with their coins</p><p><br /></p><p>There is one that is particularly bad and irritating cause I&#039;ll drive 10 miles there and back and when I ask to see their Barber halves they say &quot;oh they&#039;re at a show today&quot;.&nbsp; Yeah... you know those coin shows that are at 3pm on a Wednesday... Meanwhile 2/3 of their shelves are now full of bullion including a 6 foot case with copper.&nbsp; The Barbers are probably in the vault and they&#039;re just too lazy to go get them or don&#039;t think I have the money.&nbsp; It has happened more than once too.&nbsp; Too bad for them...I took my $500 elsewhere that day, and have spent much more elsewhere since then.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have not had a single bad experience at a coin show though...although they are becoming more bullion shows and thats kinda sad.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like others have said, try a different store.&nbsp; It took me a while but I found one where the owner now knows me by name and comes around the counter to shake my hand when I get there.&nbsp; He&#039;ll leave me with boxes of coins to look through while he helps his other customers, offers me coffee or something else to drink every time I&#039;m there, will take my wish lists and hold coins for me, and is going to call me when he gets my most recent request in.&nbsp; As a result I will go there first for the rest of the time I collect coins!</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
