<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1602409, member: 25270&quot;]I wanted to share this 1923 Peru 1 sol that I picked up today. I think the design is pretty neat.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was checking out a new coin shop for the first time when I got it. I moved recently and wanted to find a shop in my area. This one is the closest I could find, but i didn&#039;t really care for it. It&#039;s in Glenview, IL, if anyone is familiar with the area. I was probably there 15 minutes before anyone talked to me, and he didn&#039;t have any of the coins organized in a logical system. I prefer to go to places with bins of coins priced out - $1, $2, etc. I had to ask for a price on everything, and I&#039;m reluctant to put something aside when I don&#039;t know what it&#039;s going to be. Plus, he had a few world coins out at 10 for $1, but they were 95 percent Polish from 2008 or 2009. There didn&#039;t seem to be any collection of the type that I usually target - base metal coins from the 1880s to 1940s in circulated condition, things like 1930s French 10 centimes, 1920s British pennies, stuff like that. I&#039;ve been to a few dealers who don&#039;t seem to have this kind of stuff, and I don&#039;t know what they do with it because people must bring it in. They also had some priced world coins on display and every one was a ridiculous price. 1947 British penny for $14, for example. That just reduces my faith in anything he had. And when he&#039;s going to be looking up everything I buy, I know I won&#039;t be getting a deal. I don&#039;t think I&#039;ll be going back there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, just wanted to share this coin and my experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
