I was looking for a new shop to visit today in Winston-Salem NC. I Found "Carolina Coin" after a few calls (had seen them on ebay before). The shop was a scattered mess! Coins everywhere. I asked the owner if he had any World coins. He said "not much" and I was handed a metal 2x2 tray half full of regular circ. junk. Found nothing at all. image However, I had brought with me a box full of US Modern commems, nothing great just stuff i'd been to lazy to ebay. I asked if he was interested in buying the lot. He actually pulled out a Grey Sheet and started totaling up my coins. He paid full buy price for all of it!! image I would have been happy with alot less, but this dealer gave me a fair shake. image

    Wow, he must have really needed it or has a really good market for it. Although, on decent run of the mill U.S. stuff, you can usually do better selling to a fair dealer in person than you'll do on eBay (in this kind of a market at least).

    Did you deal with Mr Gaskill? He's a good guy. His father is a member of my coin club, and we have Carolina Coin at our show each year.

    Yes, that's him. image He "donates" the gold coins, and we "donate" bourse space. His Dad is quite a character . Still drives himself around, and plays tennis competitively. He's a retired UNC professor.
    A true ladies man!
