<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 2151721, member: 73983"]It's always a hit and miss with the cherry picking. I never say I'm cherry picking. I always say I'm looking for a specific date to make a coin ring or that I'm working on putting together a BU roll of '64 and '63 whatever's. In the end, I'll grab anything that I was actually looking for and some nice '64 and '63's to add to my pile. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think some of the dealers just don't want every customer to come in and start digging through all of their inventory.</p><p><br /></p><p>This dealer actually thanked me for spending a couple of hours keeping him company. I find it easier to go through the junk boxes if you get off on the right foot to begin with. Buy a few coins from their display case, bs with them. Just like the bank tellers, be friendly with them. The last dealer I saw, he was about to close up. I told him no worries, I was just looking anyway. I told him what I was looking for and you could see that he was thankful that I was not another one of the crack heads who come in asking if this or that was worth anything (It's a smaller town with a high meth problem). He was actually very friendly and we stayed a little past his closing time just bs'ing. He went and pulled a couple of thing out of his safe just to show me. One was a $20.00 bill that he bought from a guy that was a serial # 00000001. He told me that he had shown it to a few people and they just looked at him like a deer in headlights. They had not a clue as to what it was. He then show's me a fake 1893-S Morgan that one of the people that had been working for him had bought. I told him I'd be back and he will be willing to let me look through anything.. Point is some people need to be warmed up, others are just pissy no matter what and others are just really nice guys who love it when someone knowledgable shows up and can hold a conversation with them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Wow, I really started rambling there. Sorry about that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
