[QUOTE="Bradley Trotter, post: 6672725, member: 101226"]After reading some of the experiences, various members have mentioned about their local coin dealers, I was left wondering about the worst experiences any of you may have had? The worst experience I've had with a coin dealer was at a small shop in Alabama. I'm not naming any names, but the dealer was pricing foreign coins from his junk box at a considerable mark-up over what Krause quoted.

The rims on the coin in question were almost completely obliterated, and Queen Victora was little more than a silhouette. Needless, to say though, that was the last time I ever visited that store.
