<< <i>that is not a smart move... >>
Wouldn't you need to know the reason why before concluding that?
<< <i>I stopped into JJ Teaparty's shop one time. Moving the store wouldn't be such a bad thing. >>
I agree! I was in there a couple years ago... tucked down this one-way street, no sign, just the infamous "49 Bromfield" in front. I go inside, no coins anywhere, just a bunch of gold... like nuggets, chains, etc if I remember correctly.

Liz and company have not become as successful as they are by making "not-smart moves". I'm sure they know what they are doing.

As for my comment, let me be brief and to the point...
If I can not go into a coin store, see the coin I saw on a web site and inspect the coin in hand before buying it, then it I am in the wrong place... but thats just me... flame on.

Is it the physical act of going into a store that you want? Because if so, I guess I understand your point.
But most dealers (even those who don't have stores) are happy to ship you any coin so you can inspect it in hand before buying it.
They have no plans on moving from their Bromfield Street address.
All mail order coins are automatically shipped and no longer available
for pick up.
I've been dealing with them for many years and have only been to their shop
a couple of times. I always make an appointment prior and advise them of what
my purpose is - either to buy - or to sell. If its to buy, they know my collecting
interests and have a large selection of material for me to sort thru.
At first glance upon entering their store, you sense there isn't alot of material
available, except for bullion - which they do a tremendous business in - but,
all you have to do is ask.
Call Gail on her toll free line and she'll be more than happy to assist you.
So would Liz, but she's on the road a great deal of the time buying.
BTW, they have handled my Want List for Barbers for over a dozen years
and have found most of the coins I needed. Give them a try - you won't be disappointed.

JJ Teaparty included...excellent customer service before, during, and after the sale or non-sale.

Man that's a rare date for a half disme.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

<< <i>No fears everyone, we are NOT moving from our Boston location. We have moved the mail order division to NH to an office closer to where Gail lives to help expedite orders and have better service. If we are notified ahead of time, we can have coins available for view in our store in Boston on an appointment basis. We are still doing all of our bullion business in town and purchasing coins in the store, etc, mostly just changing the location of the coins listed on the web from Boston to NH. If you have any questions, please call me at 1-800-877-1415. Thanks, Liz Coggan >>
WELCOME and thanks for clearing up the confusion!
Tell Gail to sign up too
Seriously, Liz and Gail really know their coins! And welcome to the Forums, Liz! See you in Baltimore!

I've passed by it and I agree, the thing looks to be in almost like a deserted alleyway.

...now, now Mike... cool your jets... just a little healthy kidding around going on here...
...there are a number of folks here on the forum who often 'complain' of the lack of fresh material in dealer's cases...but hey...the coins have to be available for us to stock... and if we do but "no one comes" ... well... what can I say?...
...soooooo... a little wry humor aimed at endless "struggle" to find fresh material and the seemingly endless lament of the lack of such material... wish we could just call a warehouse...ya know?...
Awe, I was just pulling Liz's leg...and she knows it.
I have always had a great relationship with both she and Gail.
When Liz and Gail are at a show, they always have a NEPS box or two to go thru.
Its really great working with them, as I have been for the last 13 years or so.
