<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 787210, member: 4552"]You'ld be a riot in my family. Sister is jew, Mother is Catholic, Father is Luthen, I'm Prespiterian, Neighbor's Muslum and one Budist. So far no Atheist. We need you. </p><p>One thing in this topic I've noticed is although at coin shows and coin stores most are white, elderlly, it's really different at a flea market. And too coin dealers at flea markets have a fantastic amount of minorities for customers and of all ages. Also, coin dealers at flea markets are of a wider variety of ethnic groups. At one flea market there is this one dealer that if I don't get there fast enough, an elderlly Mexican guy almost buys him out of all Silver Coinage. Usually in the hundreds of dollars worth. Smiles at me and says, to late. Right after he leaves a guy I've gotten to know from China also digs in to those coins. I know this dealer well since I've purchased from him for many years and he tells me his greatest customers are some forms of Hispanics. That first one usually takes all those coins to another type of flea market and resells for almost double. I've noticed this at other flea markets too where many other ethnic groups purchase coins. To me this would indicate that they feel more comfortable purchasing coins in areas where there are already many varieties of types of peoples. If your at a typical flea market, rather ragity looking and purchase several hundred dollars worth of coins, not much noticed by others since almost everyone looks the same.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
