I will be going to San Antonio in June with my wife. She will be in conferences all day and I will be on my own to explore. I am hoping someone might be able to tell me if there are any coin shops around the Sheritan Hotel on Houston Street. Hopefully within walking distance. Thanks.

Lone Star Coins - nice selection of raw and some slabbed coins - good guys
There are several others around town too. These were always my favorites though. These would not be within walking distance though.
I think Royalty Coins @ 425 E Commerce might be within walking distance. I never could make a deal with them though so I couldn't really recommend them.
<< <i>Alamo Heights Coin Shop - mostly raw coins - owner is a great guy, can't remember his name right now.

I've actually bought from all 3 mentioned above. The closest (Royalty) is the guys that I bought a nice Texas Commem from, although I've never been to their shop as I got the coin at a show.
Have fun.
Alamo Heights Coin Shop. His wife was a teacher at my kid's school. Mainly raw, big bins of 2x2s, some decent materials but not much. If you like WWII uniform insignia, talk to the guy with the long grey pony tail.
Lone Star. Better material and greater selection of slabbed material. I think one of the owners was the discoverer of a major Buffalo Nickel variety. (BTW, they moved location from where they were several years back.)
Lone Star. Shop is right by the ALamo. I never made it in as everytime I was there it was closed. I did buy a nice MS65 Peace dollar from them at a show. At the show they certainly had hundred of PCGS/NGC coins.

Richard Medina used to be the owner of Lone Star, but recently (last year?) sold the shop. He indeed is an "error guy" and discovered one of the Buffalo Nickel varieties.
I think instead of Lone Star the second time you meant to say "Royalty Coins"
Alamo Heights is on Austin Hwy/TX Rte 368, inside loop (Interstate) 410, but outside of walking distance. You'll need a car.
Another good one is Dellview Coins. They used to be on Fredericksburg Rd, but moved over to HWY 281 North out past the San Antonio International Airport. North of I-410 on the west side of HWY 281. Last time I was there was June '04, but he had a good selection of raw & slabbed type stuff.
