<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wgpjr, post: 1011404, member: 22482&quot;]A new coin shop opened up locally today and I stopped by after work.&nbsp; I went in expecting to come out with a lot of coins, but left empty handed and disappointed.&nbsp; The majority of the stock was in slabs, very few &quot;raw&quot; coins (which is what I&#039;m mainly interested in).&nbsp; I found some indian head pennies I was interested, none priced.&nbsp; So I take them up and he &quot;grades&quot; them on spot and puts some ridiculous prices on them.&nbsp; I put them back.&nbsp; His assistants all had the red book available and that was the price they would give on you on the coins.&nbsp; A lot of his slabbed coins were ASE (boy were those all overpriced!), gold coins and then various proof coins.&nbsp; They did have boxes of all the state quarters (loose), so I may go back and get the few that I still need.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The other local shop that I frequent almost weekly is also a junk/pawn shop.&nbsp; They have quite a few coins, all raw and I&#039;ve gotten some great deals.&nbsp; They even have silver coins that are priced cheaper than melt!&nbsp; I was going through them the other day and one of the owners was pointing out the cheaper than melt coins and say &quot;You should get that one, that&#039;s a great deal.&quot;&nbsp; lol&nbsp; He&#039;s very friendly and can talk to you all day about coins.&nbsp; Prices on most of his stuff is very reasonable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other than that, I have to travel over a hour to get any other coins at a shop.&nbsp; I do go to local auctions and that&#039;s where I pick up some very cool stuff at ridiculously low prices.&nbsp; I&#039;ve gotten a bust dime for $12 (forget the year), early indian heads at $3 a piece, 2 &amp; 3 cent coins at $7 each, silver certificates at $1.50 each, etc...&nbsp; After paying those kind of prices, I really don&#039;t like going to many other coin shops.&nbsp; lol[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
