<p>[QUOTE="wxcoin, post: 6684481, member: 74624"]The best LCS that I've been to in my 60+ years is Schofield Coin & Hobby in Schofield, WI. Bob Petts is very personable and honest. I brought an elderly friend's large coin collection, that she inherited from her mother, to Bob to sell. He and I spent many hours going through each item in the collection. My friend was impressed with his attention to detail and felt comfort in knowing she wasn't getting taken advantage of. Bob also lets the local coin club use his shop for their meetings.</p><p><br /></p><p>Over the years I've had a number of bad experiences with local coin shops in other places I've lived. The worse one was in Rapid City, SD back in the early 1990's. Without even going through what I was selling, he made me an offer less than face (the lot included silver and 19th century type coins). That experience left such a bad taste in my mouth I didn't set foot in another LCS for several decades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
