[QUOTE="John Skelton, post: 4531458, member: 92092"]That is what is needed too keep the hobby growing: a coin shop owner willing to promote and make available the shop for events. The next time my wife and I are in the area to visit her sister I will make an effort to stop in. My LCS is a very nice place, and he advertises it on a billboard as a coin shop, but he also sells jewelry (probably to help his wife and her sideline business) and, of all things, fossils and polished rocks. I have bought several coins from him and he's always been very friendly unlike another shop where you were treated with suspicious looks and the people were unapproachable. And I did walk into one of those shops that simply had the word Gold on it's sign, and was told they didn't have their coins on display, but if I was interested they would bring them out of the vault.
