<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 25369488, member: 15588"]Visiting coin shops effectively comes with experience. The only way to get experience is to get through some potentially awkward first experiences (this applies to just about anything). Forgive yourself if they turn out awkward or disappointing. You're new and learning. Then try again. You won't become more comfortable or confident without trying, so keep trying. My first coin shop visits go back a few decades and were anything but smooth. I had some fantastic experiences and some utterly humiliating ones. There were a few shops I never returned to because I felt the dealers saw me as exploitable. One shop owner treated me with outright disrespect. He pretty much yelled at me for "taking too much time." I was on my lunch hour from work, so I had very limited time, and I had probably been in the shop 10 or 15 minutes. Thankfully, I never experienced anything like that again. So, experiences will vary and you will meet both success and failure. Don't let the "failures" get you down. We've all likely been there at least once.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
