<p>[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 1261479, member: 16994"]I am a profession coin dealer with a successful shop. I can tell you that going into a "coin shop" situation without a working knowledge of US coins and currency is like me going into the rocket ship business. Sure I can tell you how a rocket works...you know, fire comes out this end and the rocket goes vroom... but I couldn't tell you how to build one. I think a monkey can run a "cash for gold" shop... being a true coin shop on the other hand takes years and years of experience. Myself and my staff have over 125 years of combined coin collecting/dealing experience and we still learn new things every day that we use. I could not imagine doing this with only a business degree. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also feel that anyone looking to have a B&M store in a couple of years will have missed the boat. The time is now and for the last 5 years honestly. I think that in a couple of years the market will be dramatically different.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
