<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GoldCoinLover, post: 687025, member: 4336&quot;]Rode my moped other there, was hoping I could get a job. I went to Xavier coins, and the man there (Gary) I used to see every week at the scottsdale coin show (elks lodge) with my friend dennis before I moved.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dennis taught me alot about coins, he was a good friend...its too bad I moved.</p><p><br /></p><p>I asked if they had any openings and what it takes to work there, they said they didn&#039;t. I then talked to gary and asked him and he said just have to be honest to work in a coin shop... I asked him if he graded all of the coins because my grading skills are pretty bad. He said he did...he didn&#039;t seem too interested in talking to me, instead he was talking to some other people (Not sure who) about his dogs on the computer.</p><p><br /></p><p>They had a good selection of gold, lots of silver, ancient coins, and plenty of books. They also have a website...</p><p><br /></p><p>They had one 1836 classic head $2.50...I asked to see it. It was in a cardboard 2x2 and it said &quot;Lib $2.50&quot; on it, and was priced at $225. It looked XF to me...I thought that was cheap for the grade but he said he graded it Fine. I was way off in terms of grading..he was most likely right, it probably was fine. It didn&#039;t look cleaned to me, or at least it didn&#039;t have that &#039;shiny&#039; washed out look but it didn&#039;t look totally crusty either like some of crustycoins classic heads.</p><p><br /></p><p>I checked the numismedia value on it at Fine and its $270...so that did indeed seem like a good price.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.xaviercoins.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.xaviercoins.com" rel="nofollow">www.xaviercoins.com</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
