Furniture stores, art galleries, Simply walk in and ask the owner if they know anyone interested in coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ask insurance agents, car salemen, your church staff, pretty much anyone may know someone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next, pawn shops and flea markets but be cautious.&nbsp; Start with inexpensive coins and only develop relationships with people you trust.&nbsp; Don&#039;t leave your name or number.&nbsp; Take thier business card and call them to see if they know anyone looking for what you have to sell.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rock and gemstone clubs / fringe stores like wine, beer, and head shops usually have a coin collector or two. </p><p><br /></p><p>If in a bigger city, check with the gold and silver buyers, it is good to have a contact with one that has an x-ray machine that can test metals.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
