<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hommer, post: 3378960, member: 73266&quot;]I travel with my work weeks and months at a time. Whenever I have spare time, I try and find a local shop to the area I&#039;m in. I have been to shops all across the US. There are two very common types. Ones where it was organized in the beginning but has wandered into total chaos. And then there are those that are organized chaos. Both have one thing in common, they neither have anything other than junk displayed in their cases. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some will ask if there is anything particular that you are looking for, and if you have one in mind and tell them, they will drag a couple out of the safe. They all have good coins in a safe but have totally given up on taking them out to display every day only to have to put them back in the safe every night.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hate that as I suspect most other shoppers do too. I have many interest, yeah I love looking for a key date that I&#039;m missing, but also enjoy just shopping around for something that kinda jumps out at me. If all their coins aren&#039;t on display I am reluctant to ask to see anything because I feel I am a bother. And if I don&#039;t feel that way, the clerk/owner will make you feel that way if you don&#039;t buy what they drag out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Shows are much different, those same shops will drag everything out at a coin show and display it. They will sell more at a show for that very reason. If I went to a coin show and their displays looked like their stores and I had to ask for them to get something out of a safe for me to see it, I probably wouldn&#039;t go back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
