<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Doubled Eye, post: 3377983, member: 92790&quot;]Thanks – these little scenes and memories from the coin shop begin in 1977, when I got started in the hobby. Of course, a few years later when metal prices skyrocketed, the coin shop became sort of a emergency liquidation center for the area. Who remembers those long lines of poor schlubs waiting outside local coin stores in 1979, holding jars of old silver coins along with silver flatware and candlesticks? It was during those years that I learned fancy terms like “to fence” – yikes!! – as I listened to the shady characters come in with their sacks of cull silver to sell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
