<p>[QUOTE="Joshua Lemons, post: 25908760, member: 82388"]My nearest LCS has a dog too! It's friendly and the shop doesn't smell like dog. When I was a kid, the current owner's father owned the shop and it was downtown in the revived riverfront section. The shop sold stamps, first day covers, jewelry and coins. It was a huge brick building with large windows. His son and grandson inherited the business after he passed. They closed the big downtown shop and moved into, shall we say, a sketchier party of town into a strip mall. Now they seem to focus mostly on bullion and buying scrap gold and such. They do have a fair amount of numismatic material, but it is rarely labeled with the price and they seem to come up with their offer out of thin air. I will say, the shop is very clean and organized. I don't go often because there isn't much of a change in the numismatic inventory, but would probably be a good place to buy/sell precious metals. But, if you ever want to buy a sub sandwich, browse some coins, get your taxes prepared and do a load or two of laundry, I know the perfect location![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
