<p>[QUOTE="NumisNinja, post: 3079833, member: 94566"]Regarding what OP saw when he went in, and what he expected...this is where the disconnect is coming from. That store probably doesn't have, or doesn't want to display, a lot of slabbed coins. Could be for security reasons or maybe they simply don't sell well. When some random patron walks in and says "Let me see what you got", do you really think the clerk wants to drag a bunch of boxes of slabbed coins out of the back room so he can watch you rifle through them? To him you might sound like a tire kicker, or possibly a robber looking for an expensive coin to abscond with. </p><p>I guess what I'm trying to say is this is a gentlemans hobby and business, so build some rapport first and ask about the store and make small talk. If you go in just wanting to see what you want to see, and in short order, the clerk may be unable or unwilling to accommodate you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
