<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 553786, member: 4381&quot;]Yes</p><p><br /></p><p>This was exactly my point before.&nbsp;&nbsp; The most important thing with any hobby is a Brick and Mortor dealer who you feel comfortable with and who is willing to share his knowledge and&nbsp; experience in the hobby with you.&nbsp; I spent two hours yesterday talking to my local dealer and he blustered away, much to my entertainment, has we walked through his inventory from 10,000 coins to 3 dollar coins.&nbsp; We talked old coppers, old auctions, war stories, rarities, strikes, commems.&nbsp; And then he offered me a war nickel set that I had ask him about for around $90.&nbsp; Now I can probably shop this set for less, but I&#039;ll get it anyway from Frank, along with a nice MS67 mercury he has...without even looking up the prices.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Because I trust him, he feeds my hobby regularly, increases my knowledge about coins, and has never put me down a blind alley or sold me a bum coin.&nbsp; In many ways, like my grocer, coffee shop&nbsp; and News stand, he is a good neighbor who I don&#039;t see often enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
