<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jetshack, post: 465760, member: 11725&quot;]My story is going to be a little different than most of the others I&#039;ve read here...</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been collecting coins for most of my life.&nbsp; Once I graduated college and started my first real job (teaching in the inner city OKC) I was able to start investing in a little bit better grade of coin than I had been to that point.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fortunately, I had a wonderful teacher as a local dealer was very patient with me and helped explain what I should be looking for and what series would be a good fit for me to look at.&nbsp; He basically became my little gray haired mentor.</p><p><br /></p><p>I continued to frequent this shop for the next 5 years until I moved to Texas. Once in Texas I found a couple of great shops but I always had fond memories of that shop in OKC.</p><p><br /></p><p>In August of this year I made a trip back to the city and was SO excited about having the time to stop back by the old shop, browse the inventory, and talk with my old friend.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, in the intervening 10 years the owner has developed Alzheimer&#039;s and no longer recognizes any of his customers.&nbsp; He has a son in law that helps him with the shop and customers.&nbsp; He still has a encyclopedic knowledge of coins and is able to help his son in law with identification and grading, but he&#039;s a shell of the man he once was.</p><p><br /></p><p>So my worst experience in a coin shop was that visit last August.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
