<p>[QUOTE=&quot;greglax45, post: 388220, member: 10203&quot;]Well Today was sort of a glum day.&nbsp; My brother and I went up to a coin shop in Downingtown, about thirty minutes from our house.&nbsp; We were hoping we could fill a few holes in our sets, finish my Barr Note set, and pick up any other coin that might have interested us.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When we got there, it was the total opposite of what I was expecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>We walked in, three men inside, Euro Cup on the television in the background, but not one decided to greet us. However, they did manage did give us a nice glare.&nbsp; I know that they could have been busy with something else, but one tubby lad was sitting at his computer, the other staring at the TV, and the last man smoking a cigarette.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So my brother and I looked through some of their display cases,&nbsp; shelves filled with E-Zest Coin Cleaner and other coin-cleaning chemicals, and various coin holders.&nbsp; They had some nice things, but nobody bothered to notice we were there.&nbsp; I think just a little, &quot;Hey guys can I help you with anything?&quot; would have been nice.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So I ask, &quot;Hi, could i look at those silver certificates there?&quot;(They were all in a pile; no organization whatsoever).&nbsp; One man pulls ONE silver certificate out, 1957, an O.K. note but overpriced for me.&nbsp; It was twenty dollars.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t bother to look at the others because by that time I knew they didn&#039;t want to associate themselves with us.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then my brother asks if he could look through the barber dime tray.&nbsp; Nobody answers.&nbsp; One man just gives him a stare, like, &quot;What? I don&#039;t have to deal with these kids with no money.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not know what was with them.&nbsp; All the other coin shops I have gone to, the owners ask if they could help with anything, they would bring books of coins out, and would do other actions that would make my trip worthwhile.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>These guys were in it for the money.&nbsp; They see two 15 year old boys, and think &quot;Oh they aren&#039;t going to buy any of our gold or silver,&quot;</p><p>They should have given a little more respect to us, but you just have to stay away from businesses like that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
