<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 144480, member: 3726"]Well it is not easy for older folks either. My favorite dealer doesn't know my name, but knows I might buy something. Sometimes I just start looking at a set of coins and asking questions. I also took some raw coins in just so we could talk about them. The more I visit the friendlier they get (plus they know I spend a few bucks on coins). The last time I was in the store I got to view a 1856 flying eagle(already sold), two chains cents and several other coins. All the time they were telling me about the coins, what to look for, and what was best. He was waiting on someone in the cent area, asked them to hold a minute, pulled about 15 coins out for me to look at. WOW some of them were as good(all large cents) as what leadfoot posts. He did this even knowing I would not buy them puppies. So if they are close, just visit oftem and be friendly and listen. Never too young or old to learn.</p><p><br /></p><p>At least I will admit my father shares my interest in coins. But he likes morgans and I like copper cents.
