<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1603722, member: 42773&quot;]A lot of so-called coin shops don&#039;t cater to collectors as much as bullion enthusiasts - at least that&#039;s what I&#039;ve discovered in my limited travels. In my area, there are also pawn shops that call themselves coin shops. Those places will have a bunch of junk, as you described: 19th-century dreck, junk silver, a few albums filled from circulation, and all those mint sets from the 70&#039;s and 80&#039;s that nobody would even bother stealing anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>But you have to ask for what you want. It&#039;s entirely possible that they&#039;ve got the coins you want in the back room, or in a safe. One dealer I visited didn&#039;t have anything I wanted on display, but when I told him my collecting interests, he pulled out box after box of neatly organized Kennedy Halves - I spent an hour looking through them, and went back two more times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
