Message:: [QUOTE="mark_h, post: 2015583, member: 3726"]This  is a good thread.  I like my local coin shop - they are patient with me and let me see all the goodies they have.  Even when they know I can't afford them I get to look at them.  I can ask them anything and they will answer - the owner is the best in my opinion, but everyone who works there is very good.  They do not have much for me to buy anymore since I am getting specific on what I am looking for, but I make sure I at least buy some silver from them. I also like HJB - I have been on the phone with several of them multiple times.  Very patient and they have even offered to send me coins to review for purchasing.  I have been an will be a continued customer no matter what others think of them. These are just two dealers that I really like.  There are others I use for buying but these two I have and will continue to work with. The only bad dealer I really met had what he said was an 1883/2, but was really a filled two.  I mentioned it, but he was not happy so I just walked away.  The ones really over priced I just skipped.  I did meet two old gentlemen at one show that loved large cents.  At that time I needed like 3 varieties they did not have.  It was a pleasure talking with them.  I wish I had their names - they gave me a print out that lists what varieties go where in a dansco album.  I have to dig that out - it was good information.[/QUOTE]
