    The closest dealer would be about a 15 minute walk.
    The closest dealer I trust would be an hour walk, but they have a very small inventory that rarely changes.

    Closest for me is 3 miles - Glendale Coin Gallery, A-Z Coin & Stamp Galleries, and A-Z Coin & Jewelry - all listed at the same address.

    I should go and check them out, though I gather they're more of an "estate" liquidation house.

    There's another one in Pasadena that's 5 miles away, I should check them out too! Been kinda busy moving in to the new house....

    To walk to the 1st one would take forever as I'm 45 mins driving time away from the city. However, once there? I wouldn't want to walk as I would be run over Im sure with the way people drive around here, but within a 7 mile radius, there's 3 B&M's.

    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    Approximately 7700 miles away at present as the crow flies is one of my favorites... in San Antonio. Please send me a plane ticket and I'll walk there from the airport.

    Peace from the Middle East!

    One, about 5 miles. There are about a dozen 8-20 miles away, longer than I would like to walk these days.

    The closest one is two miles away, but I'd never go there.

    I know of only two B&Ms in my little town of San Jose, CA and they're about 6 and 8 miles away.
    Alright! Who removed the cork from my lunch?

    Where I live we have zoning laws to keep vice related businesses out of residential areas.

    NONE

    I prefer to drive like a madman if a dealer I like has something I want.....
