<p>[QUOTE="Seascape, post: 6693065, member: 117848"]I feel very fortunate to have my LCS. It's really old school and really old. They have massive inventory. If I see something online I like there's a almost 100% chance I can go in there and look at multiple examples. Often at a better price. Also often the have better examples. They can be busy alot of times and they sell alot of silver and gold. Stackers will line up in the silver line. There's never less than 3 guys working usually 5 and often they are cranking.</p><p><br /></p><p>All that being said....most experiences are good but now and then I feel somewhat under appreciated. I think these guys just get burnt out. I still prefer the experience. I'll buy from them any day over online. I love getting up on Saturday morning..go to Starbucks..than in the coin shop by 11am. There's not much I'd rather do. I do it almost every weekend. I often go during the week if I want better undevided attention. Like leave my office and go. Most of the stuff I collect is behind the counter so I need them to assist.</p><p><br /></p><p>I spend between 60 and 400 every trip...probably average 275 on Saturday and another 125 during the week. 1-3 coins per visit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes they're just grumpy.
