<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1595731, member: 42773&quot;]So I went to a shop yesterday, not three miles from my house...</p><p><br /></p><p>The place was a mess - merchandise strewn everywhere in no particular order, owner was reading riot act to somebody on the phone because his website wasn&#039;t working and he was losing customers.</p><p><br /></p><p>When he finally gets to me, I tell him I&#039;d like to see anything he&#039;s got by way of Kennedy Half Dollars. This was the gist of the conversation...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Well, most of that stuff is in a bank vault. I&#039;ve got a few bags of forty-percenters but you don&#039;t want to see that. Not much silver there.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Actually I do want to see it. I&#039;m putting together a date/mm set, and I&#039;m not interested in the silver content, but rather in nice pieces.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Well that&#039;s all junk silver anyway. That&#039;s mostly what I do. Nobody collects seriously anymore.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;What about mint sets?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Yeah, they&#039;re over there, but I don&#039;t carry much. If you just want the Half Dollars you&#039;re gonna be overpaying.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So I gave up on that and asked him if he had any silver bars - my wife likes bullion and I thought I&#039;d throw a bar or two in her Christmas stocking. After rummaging around in the mess for a bit, he actually came up with something I liked. But when I pulled out my bank card, he said he didn&#039;t cards at all. Only cash.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just left in frustration. I don&#039;t think his website had anything to do with losing customers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
