Coin Shop Visit Today

Terry, now THAT was a very good explanation. Now how many of us are satisfied with their 'conversions' ? I'd say around 99% of us are.

Ah at last it was Saturday morning! I had the full day planned and it all involved being outside in the cool fall air getting ready for whitetail deer season! The old outdoorsman decided not to throw in the towel and bought a new tree stand. I had hunting permissions to get signed and areas to scout. And then, the love of my life tells me she needs to go to the coin shop to pick up a 2009 Mint Set for an Xmas gift! Darn my luck!
So off we go to that dreaded shop in Columbus with me being a patient loving husband smiling wickedly inside! Of course I lead her to believe "anything for you dear" and held that composure very well!
Once inside I noticed our dealer had purchased some SILVER EAGLES and they were calling my name immediately after entering his shop! They were screaming "take me home" and "adopt me" knowing both my wife and I were members of the Indiana Adopt Some Silver Society. Well I just couldn't turn my back on those little ones so five of them now reside with me. Being a loving parent can be tough but it is something I am destined to do!!!
I just hope my wife can find someone else to buy a mint set for in the near future!

When we visited you, I meant to ask where the coin shop was located.

Now that my coin shop has closed down. there is only one listed in my area, and I have yet to try and find it.  Isn't that something: One coin shop in an area of 150,000 people!

I usually go to Columbus which is my favorite dealer. He and his wife have been very good to my family. They have given my little guy both gold and silver for birthdays and, at times just because he does go with us to the shop.
My other option is Franklin, IN but it is not the same feeling as doing business with the Hardy's.

You mention "feeling," and that is so true.

I have been into a bunch of coin shops, but only felt "wanted" or "appreciated" in one.  Unfortunately, it no longer exists.

If you don't mind my asking, what year of ASE's did you buy, and how much did they cost.

I would like to buy some for Christmas gifts, and would appreciate knowing the cost.

Thanks.

Guess I am a little slow getting back into this thread? I have bought 97's, 99's, 2000's. and 2002's in the last few weeks. For the most part every one of them was $18.25 to $19.00 and that was probably at least a $1.00 under the national average. If silver jumps much between now and Jan. I will dread the opening cost of the 2010 Eagles!!!

Ive known my local dealer for over 25 years now...and ill have to say that he does cut me a lot of breaks in the prices he charges me.....Its always good to be "tight"(Is that word even used anymore) with your local dealer

Coin shop visit today was DREADFUL! NO silver or gold bullion for sale. Two fellows wiped out the silver on Wednesday. There was two pieces of gold and now there is only one as my son opted to bring home a quarter ounce U.S. commemorative. Pretty slim pickings today. Almost as bad as my deer hunting this year!

Terry, you should have made the trip to Michigan for the big State Show. Lots and lots of gold and silver there today for very reasonable prices too. It's not too late to still come up. The show runs Saturday and Sunday.

Joe, you should know me by now.......... I only LOOK like I'm working, when I'm really on the prowl for some great deals!

My wife just called from Columbus as she had some Xmas items to pick up. She gracefully mentioned our dealer bought 3 gold pieces while she was there drooling over the Morgan Dollars I had told her about. Some of them were proof like so she had to check them out! I might mention she called AFTER he closed? They were gold $10 Indians (2) and a $10 Liberty. Didn't give me the dates but said the Indians were uncirculated and the Liberty was AU. Probably a good thing I was NOT with her this trip!!! And, again I see the luck of my life! Always a day late and a dollar short!!!

I can bet on one thing and that would be the mere fact my dealer has sold some Morgan Dollars today! I will know once my wife gets home. Anybody venture to guess how many she bought for me? I will know in an hour or two!

....... while she was there drooling over the Morgan Dollars I had told her about. .... Anybody venture to guess how many she bought for me?

I'll guess she bought you 4!
