<p>[QUOTE="COINnoisseur, post: 1535950, member: 40106"]Here in the Baltimore area there is one shop that is known throughout the city for their professionalism and customer service. They are listed as a pawnshop but deal only in jewelery, coins and precious metals. If your from Baltimore you would know right away the store I am refering too. They have always offered the most when buying coins, gold or silver and will tell you in detail what you have, the history behind it and what it is worth. They also have a very friendly enviroment where people will come in and hang out and talk about coins, the precious metals markets, politics. It's a very nice shop just to be in, even if your not doing any business with them. That being said about 5 minutes down the street is a coin shop that is crooked-er then a dogs hind legs. About 3 years ago I took a common ungraded ASE to trade towards some other coins. At this time silver was right about $20 an oz. So, this guy offers me $12 and I without hesitation announce infront of all his other customers that the day before the place up the street offered me $18. He retorts that the price of silver fluctuates and that silver had gone up this morning. BS!. I'm always following metals prices and I KNEW that the price didn't go up. I left it at that and let him have the last word and departed with my coin. This guy was a shister. I later heard stories from a few other numismatists that this guy is not one who you should do business with and I haven't since.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
