<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 6888117, member: 101855&quot;]My best experiences were at the Worthy Coin shop in Boston, Massachusetts, which ran a weekly bid wall from the fall to the spring. I&#039;ll post this picture of this 1796 Quarter as my experience, but I bought many nice coins there. The late Don Romano ran the shop and his father, Corrado, had purchased many of the coins over the years when he ran the company.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1272818[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>When you talk about a &quot;bid wall,&quot; most people think of a penny-Annie operation that sells a few worn out Indian cents at best. This bid wall was anything but that. The week that I bought this coin, there was ANOTHER 1796 Quarter on the same wall. It was EF or close to it, and beyond my financial reach.</p><p><br /></p><p>The company closed when the elder Romano died. The coins that were left had his name on them in a Stacks&#039; sale. Corrado&#039;s pride and joy was one of the 1792 Silver-Center Cents, which sold at that Stacks&#039; sale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
