you guys are the pros , so where do I go in Queens ( Manhatten, or Brooklyn would be ok too a guess) to find an honest dealer. I would feel uncomfortible and out of place in a ritzy high end shop. I just looking for nice smaller shops. Or do the even exist anymore?
I was in Lancaster PA last week and stopped in a small coin shop on rt 340. It was open only 3 days a week. He had a huge collection of pretty much every coin (non gold)I could think of. Five cases of coins to stare at. I was an awesome experience to see so much on display and me the only customer there. All the coins were priced and easily viewed. Nothing high end but nice stuff. I spend an hour there and wished I could have stayed longer. I purchased a 1867 (no rays) 5 cent piece XF in a flip for $45. Complete impulse buy but owning a coin minted 100 years before I was born made me incredibly happy. He even had a 2007 red book out for me to reference with. I though if only there was something like is near me....
