    Agree. Dealers buy many coins over the counter where they have no local customers. Having a web site and eBay enables them to move these coins---especially esoteric items.

    Hopefully some good collector coins.
    Being a variety hunter, often my first question is if they have any old bankrolls to sell.

    So true. Except it's a meatball sub, with lots of sauce dripping off of it.

    Reasonable buying and selling privacy.

    Items in showcases that are actually for sale or have prices or someone in the building that knows what they are or can actually do the deal.

    Counterfeit coins (not for sale) for reference use. The same local shop has an '1804' dollar whose date was obviously tooled.

    I was going to say "customers" but I must agree with Musky. Grumpy old guy, or just a nice old guy, really makes the scene.

    I think grumpy if it's a semi-ghetto shopping mall or pawn shop. Nice guy if it's in suburbia.
