<p>[QUOTE="oval_man, post: 2780133, member: 22602"]You didn't mention this: are you able to visit coin <i>shows</i> in the area? They offer many more dealers than the one or two you might meet in local shops and some of them are happy to spend time chatting during shows if they're not busy helping others. There's also much less pressure to "buy" since the dealers aren't sweating about overhead the entire time (which b&m dealers always seem to be doing). I've been in my share of coin shops where the owner has been impatient, unhelpful and even rude.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for Atlanta, sounds like you're unaccustomed to spending time in big cities. To each his own. I visited some friends in Atlanta for the first time a few months ago and had a great time. Good food, good people, vibrant downtown. As you probably know, as long as you're not acting stupid, crime is pretty rare, and this is true everywhere. I understand very well there can be more crime around college campuses in cities but even this is rare. I just wonder if your worry (as opposed to exercising common sense) is unnecessary. On the other hand, some people just don't like cities.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
