<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 265263, member: 8033&quot;]One of my local coin shops is extremely disorganized but he KNOWS his coins so it&#039;s not a problem. Of course sometimes he doesn&#039;t know where stuff is so I help him find it. That comes from being a regular customer and being allowed behind the counter.</p><p><br /></p><p>The dealer you are speaking of sounds like a &quot;strip mall&quot; dealer to me or even worse a large mall dealer. I&#039;ve seen them set up shop around here from time to time. They aren&#039;t really knowledgable and they charge exhorbitant prices to cover over head. They prey on the &quot;mall shoppers&quot; who know nothing about coins</p><p>Eventually they close up shop as &quot;business&quot; dries up.</p><p><br /></p><p>No one knows everything about coins. Me dealer is strong on U.S. as are most dealers in the states. His assistant is strong on U.S. and world coins. Neither is strong on ancient but they do take time to attribute or have an &quot;authority&quot; do it for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I might give the shop in question one more try if I were out that way. Why not? If it&#039;s still the same I&quot;d chalk it up as a place NOT to go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
