I will be in the Boston area over the 4th of July weekend. I know most stores will be closed on Saturday for the holiday, but it looks like I have Friday the 3rd to visit a few places. Even better, my wife and her sisters collect bullion and English Piedforts so they are asking if there are any good places to shop while we are there.
Thanks for the information.
Jeb

    I was just there a couple weeks ago. There are two shops a couple blocks from the Freedom Trail, near the Sam LaGrassa's sandwich shop. Not much of a selection, I would recommend spending the time on the Freedom Trail instead.

    Go a bit further and you could visit Northeast Numismatics in Concord. Call ahead if you do.

    Does J.J. Teaparty still have a storefront?
    Made a couple stops there when I lived in Boston, late '90s. (You could buy a Platinum eagle for about $300, then!

    Whatever you do Friday, do it early. You don't want to be on any of the major highways (95, 128, 93, 495) after 12:00 - 1:00PM. I would also call ahead, as some shops are probably going to be taking a long weekend.

    Sorry - The Gals closed up shop.

    They have a thriving business - but over their web site.
    Their phone numbers are on the website.

    All coins are in a bank - and they work out of their homes.
    Liz's husband, Miles, is now retired. Probably why they closed
    the B&M.

    Thank you everyone for the suggestions. Now I get to map out the route to fit some of these places into itinerary.
