Anyone know some good Coin shops in Tampa, FL?

I have to go to Tampa, Florida for an exam (ugh!) on Wednesday. If I have a few hours before catching a plane out, any recommendations for good shops to check out?

    Hauser's used to be okay, but I see they cut their store about in half.

    I DO NOT like Hausers... I was also told by a friend that the FTC and the US Mint were investigating Hauser on charges of Mail and Wire fraud... I guess his son's shop is ok, but I've never been in there, and I tend to avoid Hauser at shows...

    I would rather look for an honest used car lot than an honest retail coin sho[p in Florida, even though I drive a 1987 Volvo wagon and buy coins almost every week.
