Pawn shops

Nothing worse than having the owner be a collector. A chain here in Vegas sends all their incoming coins to one shop for the owner to go through. He does not sell, period. Another stated he's a collector when asked if he had any coins for sale. Showed me his gold in jewelry is all.
Bummer that I cannot find one shop.....
You guys that have them available at the counter are very lucky.
The famous shop near downtown Vegas (TV boys) are sharper than most and either keep or get them graded...ugh.

    I hit up a pawn store near me that sold me some 90% recently for 10x fv and 11x fv........he's not a collector and doesn't care.....needless to say I picked up what he had and kept some and then flipped the rest for 12x to a friend.

    AuandAg yep, 10x per face value and then a few days later, 11x per face value for 90%. I'll check in later this week and see if he got in anymore 90%.

    There are quite a few pawn shops around here.
    I have never found anything in them except overpriced bullion, leafblowers, tools, and video games/gaming systems.

    No pawn shops locally...pretty sure there is one about 15 miles away... might try it sometime. Antique shop coins are unbelievably overpriced. Cheers, RickO

    Yeah, because they are clued in, on our hobby! Either, by word of mouth or by stupid T.V. shows like HSN. :/
