<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 341742, member: 12789&quot;]Saw on a thread about opening the Coin Talk Coin Shop a post from a YN that believes they are overlooked at shops, shows etc.&nbsp; Oh my to strike a chord, yes, this is still a problem for a lot of dealers.&nbsp; When I was a teenager I really started taking an interest in the hobby, more than I did when I was a ankle biting coin shop haunter.&nbsp; I started hanging out at coin club meetings, shows etc.&nbsp; It was amazing the contrasts in how I felt I was treated.&nbsp; Some dealers were very helpful, friendly and willing to show everything, then there were the snobs.</p><p><br /></p><p>To those of you that deal in coins, remember that &quot;kid&quot; with little cash, he may grow up and have fortunes change dramatically later on.&nbsp; Nowadays I reflect on that time, remembering a few dealers that were <b><i>snobs </i></b>and now some 20 years or so later they will still never get my business.&nbsp; Especially that dealer from AZ that refused to sell me an English gold noble at a show in Santa Clara, then I went to the next dealer up the line who happily showed me his recent Scottish acquisitions, and I purchased this:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.geocities.com/scottishmoney/coins/davidii2nd4d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>One of only four known examples of this coin.&nbsp; Not bad for a purchase by some &quot;teenager&quot;.:hail:</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW I am still quite partisan about the YN&#039;s and those of you that know me from elsewhere know that my contest are usually limited to YN&#039;s exclusively.&nbsp; And that last prize was a doozy yellow coloured thang.&nbsp; I believe in corrupting their young impressionable minds with numismatics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
