<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 1059502, member: 3726"]I really enjoy my local shop - I can chat with any of the guys behind the counter and they make me feel welcome. And yes this dealer offers a flat 2 or 3 cents per wheat cent and they will not search them. At the same time they do not have a junk bin - if you want something like a low grade wheatie they have to go get it. They do not have enough room for junk bins. I also get to search the "special boxes" even though they know I cannot afford them. 99.9% of the coins are raw - and just like any coin shop, you should know what you are doing. And this dealer has made mistakes, none intentional - both in my favor and not in my favor. As I learn more the more confidence I have going into the shop and avoiding some of the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other shop makes me uncomfortable - the last two times in the store while looking at a coin in the display and deciding if I even want to check it, they start dropping price.
