[QUOTE="collect4fun, post: 22721, member: 991"]I had a very interesting experience today. A young bling man and his father came into my antique store and asked if I had any old keys.

I walked over to the case and was thinking, how do I show coins to the guy when they are in 2x2's. I asked what he was interested in and he said Barber dimes. I had a few, pulled them out and explained what years and grades I had and the price of each. He picked up the 2x2 and I apoligized that he could not feel them as they were in the 2x2. I was waiting to see if he would ask if I could open it and let him feel the coin, but he did not ask.

Had he asked if he could touch the coin, how would you answer that question without offending him?
