[QUOTE="PennyGuy, post: 739618, member: 17502"]Great post Clembo, a needed perspective for all collectors. Having been collecting for well over 50 years I have seen just about every type of dealer there is. In the late 1950's there were a number of coin dealers in the city where I lived. One of them clearly was not interested in younger customers. That was his choice, at least I had other options. Today with the internet we have the ability to shop across the world. I think I find about the same percentage of dealers, good to bad, that I experienced those many years ago. Just did the math, about 14-15% of my local dealers back then I just wasn't able to work with. It didn't work for both the dealer and for me. That percentage seems fairly reasonable from my experiences in todays world. Note that the percentage quoted leaves 85% of dealers that are good to work with. An overwhelming percentage. I am always able to find what I am looking for, and always able to find a good dealer to work with. Here comes the fine print.
