Any comments or experiences would be appreciated.
I want to hit a few while there on business and need to make good use of time available.

Thanks

I actually don't know too much. JJ Teaparty has some nice things (random type, paper, etc), but their inventory is more geared towards bullion, and the store and website have totally different inventories. The other shops in downtown aren't worth the oxygen to walk to.

JJ Teaparty has a retail store I do believe...

Other than J.J. Teaparty there is not much IN Boston. Now if you want to travel six miles
to the west, Lexington coin in Lexington Ma. is one of the best in the state.

I agree; Eric at Lexington Coin alway has a great selection (especially gold) and is one of the fairest traders I've met.

A little further away in Chelmsford is Bob's Coins right in the center of town. Bob is another real straight shooter.

Cheers,

Bob

Really? I will be heading out to Lynn, MA next month.....anything in that area or should I try to sneak some time to Lexington?

Go to Lexington; Eric is the best.

Eric @ Lexington coin, is a very, very fair and honest dealer. He is the dealer that all the dealers go to
when they visit Boston for the bigger shows here. He has some amazing stuff, not all coins either.

There is nothing worth going to in Lynn, as the saying goes

"Lynn,Lynn city of sin, never come out the way you go in"

What a shame - when I was in college, Boston had about a half dozen really good coin stores
around the area that JJ Teaparty is on Bromfield Street. As a matter of fact, there were three shops
right around the corner from Teaparty.

Thanks for the info on the shop in Lexington; I'll be at the ANA Convention in August and will be up
in the Boston for a few weeks after that, I'll stop by and meet Eric at Lexington Coin.
