Message:: [QUOTE="texmech, post: 963469, member: 20068"]I have one coin shop that I venture to quite often and they have a pretty good selection. The owner "poster child for grumpy old men" is harmless, but I just have to understand who I am dealing with. I once bought a Morgan for about $60 from his shop that was in great shape. I posted a picture of it on this forum and got the usual, "it's a fake" stuff. I then called him up and said that I was wondering if the coin I bought was a fake. He was not very happy to hear this and said he never sells a fake and for me to bring the coin in if I was not happy. After looking at the coin a lot more I determined it was legit. I think it's the nature of some of these guys to act like that. Now when I go to his shop I go when his assistant is working (female) and get my coins from her. She gives a much better discount than the owner.  Sometimes it's just fun to be in the shop and watch the activity coming and going. I always wonder when someone comes in to sell, if its a distressed sell on their part. Or when someone brings in their kids, I think that was me a 100 years ago.[/QUOTE]
