<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eric Babula, post: 19675425, member: 85976&quot;]Hi all - it&#039;s been a while since I&#039;ve been here - just started lurking again. Hope to be more active in the future. Though I&#039;ve had a coin collection for more than 40 years, most of that time I have not been much of a collector...more of a collector-wanna-be, still kind of a newbie. I&#039;m trying to read all my books and learn more. I&#039;ve recently retired, so I&#039;m trying to get organized and more educated so I can work on my hobbies, coin collecting being one of them!</p><p><br /></p><p>I do have a question, or a few - hope it doesn&#039;t violate any forum rules:</p><p><br /></p><p>For anyone who lives in/frequents/visits the Milwaukee, WI area, do you have a favorite coin dealer that you like to work with? Who? Why do you like them vs others? I&#039;m looking for suggestions. Do you like the inventory? I&#039;m sure some are much larger than others. Prices? The owner/sales people?</p><p><br /></p><p>Conversely, do you have any that you specifically avoid? (Maybe this question is better answered in a DM).</p><p><br /></p><p>There are like 20+ coin dealers in the Milwaukee area, and the only two I&#039;ve been to are Greater Milwaukee Coin &amp; Jewelry (in Brookfield), and David Derzon Coins (in Milwaukee). I&#039;ve only been to GMC a few times, and Derzon only once. So, I don&#039;t have too much to go on. I know there&#039;s another GMC in Waukesha - is that one better/worse than the Brookfield one? How is working with Ken vs Russ? I have to admit, I didn&#039;t get much of a warm, fuzzy feeling from Derzon, but I was only there once, and not for very long. What do you know about Paragon Numismatics? Karl&#039;s Coins? Gordy&#039;s Coins? Oak Creek Currency &amp; Coin? American Coin &amp; Jewelry? Heritage Coin Sales? There are too many to choose from.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any input would be appreciated! TIA.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
