Coin shops in Seattle, WA and Vancouver/Victoria, BC?

Heading there soon. Are shops I should visit?

    Gene Henry is a must see! A PNG dealer, having been in the coin business since 1962. Been there twice (from Fort Lauderdale). Friendly with a large inventory. He's in Issaquah (about 25-30 mins. outside of Seattle), a nice drive.

    Keep the recommendations coming! I'll be settling in there at the end of the month image
  • Can't remember the name of the shop or dealer, but it's in the lower level of the PikePlace Market in Seattle. Last time I was there I got some really nice Canadian stuff from him. Bargain hard and you'll do well.

    I've been in the shop in Pike's Market and the coin shop on the first floor of the Seattle Convention Center so far this week - mostly just stumbled upon them while walking around. Both had darkside coins. The shop in Pike's Market is quite small. The shop in the Convention Center also had a selection of ancients for sale.

    I did find a Conder token in the shop in the convention center, I was quite surprised to find it. A common variety but priced reasonably, so I bought it.
