I had the best experience with Vic. I first called and then went in because my son had a stamp project at school. When I explained to Vic about the project, he said he had just the thing, a beginner's stamp collecting kit. And then, you know what Vic did? He gave it to me for free! He said he wanted my son to have it as a gift. He said that stamp collecting is a wonderful hobby, and he was happy to get my son started on his. Wow! I didn't realize shopkeepers like Vic existed anymore. Vic is just a treasure, and I hope he stays in business for a long time.
Pros: Experienced, neighborly
Cons: None!

After requesting about ordering a 1/10 oz Platinum piece the owner actually said, "I am retired and this shop only keeps me busy" He stereo-typed me by giving me the impression that do to my young looking appearance was not a serious collector. Pricing for a uncirculated 2007 Silver Eagle was overly priced by 15% because it felt like the owner didn't think I knew what I was doing. Supplies were oddly arranged and did not appear the business had been visited by many customers.
Pros: open saturday morning
Cons: disengaged owner - didn't seem interested in me as a customer
