<p>[QUOTE=&quot;E Pluribus Unum, post: 2907229, member: 74265&quot;]There used to be two coin shops close to home.&nbsp; I used to go to them all the time.&nbsp; Every time I walked into a coin shop, I felt like a little kid in a candy store.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of the shops catered to the wealthier clientele and had a beautiful display of US gold coins and late 1700s/early 1800s coins.&nbsp; Occasionally, for certain customers, I noticed he would go in his back office and come out with a tray full of gold coins.&nbsp; God only knows what was in his office safe.</p><p><br /></p><p>The owner retired, and the new owner has turned the shop into an &quot;upscale pawn shop.&quot;&nbsp; Well, time changes things.&nbsp; When eBay became a source for purchasing coins, I began using it almost exclusively - but only for slabbed coins.&nbsp; I got burnt a couple times buying raw coins from eBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for going off topic and thanks for letting me know eBay is OK.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
