I don't have to imagine. It used to be that way.

One day many years ago I took my daughter to a coin shop and the man selling the coins took a liking to her . She would ask me to take her there every week when she got her allowance . she would go and look at all the old coins and spend her money trying to build her own little collection . I then started buying gold jewelry for my self , my wife and my children . Then one day when we came to the shop we learned that the man had passed away . We were very sad to hear the news as we had lost a good friend . When he could he gave discounts on some items that we had bought from him , he had a soft spot in his heart for our family . The man s son took over the shop and his was just as warm and kind , just like his dad . After the father had passed away he did something so special and kind , left me , my wife and my children a gold ring with a note . Thank you for your years of supporting our store .

“It’s ok to be mad, just don’t be mad at me”… PRICELESS!!!

this advice is also valid for card, comic and sports collector stores.

Sweet. Good to know. Thanks guys.

Having never been in a coin shop, I really appreciate this video. It'll help keep me from accidentally doing something I shouldn't.

These guys have the cleanest most organized coin shop I've ever seen!!!

I was a Manager at a comics and games store and we dealt in collectible cards, and this is basically the exact same as there. My uncle has a coin store and we would often trade stories about people, and it didn't really make a difference what the product was.

Exactly. I used to work at a pawn shop... the stories are endless.

"The tall guy" is a walking encyclopedia of coins..... I'm definitely new to coins. I've been collecting, stacking, and researching coins for roughly a year. I love all the info. There's only a handful of channels that are my "go to" for learning. This is one of them.

As a former coin dealer I can relate to everything said here and the way these guys operate they deserve all the success this industry has to offer. It is a difficult business to make financially viable and I had to change careers and give up what I enjoyed. The online aspect and dishonest people I dealt with was the reason I got out of the business.

Hello, sir. I was wondering if you might be able to educate me a bit as I have some interest in potentially becoming a coin dealer. I just sort of want some general info about and some personal questions (nothing invasive, though.) Feel free to ignore any questions that you feel are in bad taste or maybe too dicey to answer. I won't be offended. How did you get into it? Why did you get out? Do you regret getting in or out of it?

Every time I watch one of your videos with the guys, I want to get a plane ticket and fly out there to go shopping. The whole crew is top notch. And I’ve acquired many great pieces from them via What Not.

Harry's HR skills are A1. Top lads recruited.👍

These videos are always an added plus, such a wholesome interaction combining civility and humor.

It’s because of you guys I started building a relationship with a coin dealer and it has seriously paid off. Now i get so excited going to the shop and sometimes hanging out there just talking about coins. Thanks Silver Dragons

"A friend to the coin shop" - priceless!!

Always make friends with the employees and owners of coin shops. They possess a wealth of knowledge, far beyond any "Red Book". Always grateful for these people. Thank you.

We Love HARRY and his crew.❤️

i agree with Mr. Harry, a lot of people just don't understand this is a business and they have to make money to be there for you

Gentlemen at it's finest! I never asked for a discount at my bullion dealer and wanted some rounds but was sold out so got Britannia's for the same price as rounds since I was a good customer. That's how I like to do business.

My LCS in Fishers Indiana is great! I brought my son in to teach him about silver and to buy his first coin. The staff paid a lot of attention to him, answered all his questions and signed him up for the kids monthly coin club. They also gave him a mercury dime as a gift for joining the kids club. So grateful for guys like the staff at my LCS & Harry’s to mentor people.

Great video. I have been in the collectable firearms business for nearly 60 years. This video could have been about gun shops. Everything you discussed has happened in my shop and everyone else I know in the business. Well done! Should be mandatory viewing for collectors of all things.

Maybe your'e right. It actually should be the other way around. If I was SD Bullion I'd be pissed that I was paying to sponsor a channel that was in effect advertising Harry's Coin Shop. Instead of people going to SD Bullion to make purchases, they're seeing first hand that Harry's Coin Shop has much better prices than what they offer. And like you said, Harry's extensive knowledge of the coin industry and exemplary customer service is second to none.@@ulexite-tv

Another great video. My favorite shop gives me a discount if I bring my dog with me into the shop :) I make it a point to go there every week.

All great points. I was VERY intimidated by the LCS when I first started collecting. It was rooted in ignorance. I think that another good point would be as a buyer or collector, acquire some knowledge about the subject matter before going to the shops. That was my mistake. But I have to say the most important takeaway is building the relationship with your LCS. It is truly incredible the little "deals" you can get. I am just realistic with my expectations. I also arm myself with knowledge as well before I go into the shop. The bottom line is if it's a good shop, you will already be getting a pretty good deal as it is. I really appreciate this video. Thanks

Very nice shop and friendly people no pressure environment, great video!

I was so scared the first time I went into Harry's (my very first coin shop adventure). Afraid I'd do something wrong, not knowing how to act. Thank you so much for this teaching video.

It's mostly common sense stuff. If you are approaching the visit with a mindful attitude and remaining teachable it seems unlikely there would be a problem. It's the people who come in with no consideration or courtesy who are the issue.

As the service writer for a family owned smaller auto shop, I truly respect Harry and his team at their place of business! They just seem like the kindest most caring people. 👍🏻 good job guys

These gentlemen are awesome! People do not understand the low margin of profit for these coins shops. Manners do matter! Great show SDs!👍

I got two gold maples at Harry’s and was visiting from out of state. It was a great experience he’s awesome!

Please keep this good content coming. You are educating everyone in the hobby.

We have to support our local shops-they provide a great service to our communities, ya we have good & bad shops but if they go away we’re screwed, margins are thin but there’s always wiggle room if you build that relationship 👍🏼

Hi Jason! I absolutely agree! 😎I've subscribed to your channel! Nice Video Content!

I’m glad you touched on this subject. Great video. Harry’s is my number 1 place to go. Actually it’s the only place I go for coins, and it’s because of how nice, and respectful all of them are. It’s the main reason I kept going back a few years ago. I was new, not to coins but to silver stacking and I went into Harry’s and they were so nice and made me feel so welcome that I knew from that point on that this would be my coin shop, they do such a good job. I don’t even care to look at other coin shops. I also like to be loyal. Thanks to everyone at Harry’s coin shop. Well done! 👏👍🏻✌🏻🤙🏼

Next time I’m in Portland I’m stopping by this shop. You guys seem like just awesome people and I can use some more silver coins in my collection

Great video - I will say, price matching absolutely takes place between Target and Walmart, in fact most of the retail industry price matches. Whether your business partakes in price matching is a decision made by your business - but the public majority is accustom to asking. Don't take this personally, instead, consider using that as a learning opportunity to understand how your local market is pricing product.

@nicholasblakiston6297

I wouldn't think it would be a big deal if a customer said (discretely and out of earshot of other customers) that a competing shop was offering a better price and thus, they would not be making a purchase. But it is another thing to demand that they price match. Like they said in their video, they are not twisting anyone's arm to buy and if people can get a better deal elsewhere, they should shop there.

All these dudes are super chill and likeable. I love Harry's! Got free advice from once, was very detailed and professional.

This is a welcome video experience. I deal with rude and obnoxious people extensively on eBay where I sell air tools and impact wrench parts. Many of the items I sell have no competitor or tool manufacturer on the web trying to sell what I sell. Instead of buyers being grateful that at least they are getting what I have to solve their problem (when no one else can do that for them) they send me heavy handed bottom feeder offers. I take Harry's points of wisdom. Here we see the highly sophisticated operation that he and his people there endeavor to run. Kudos are in order for this valuable lesson.

I'll take ALL these points into consideration when visiting my LCS. Thank you for the LEARNING lesson here....STACK ON.

The bad part about this is that not all shop owners are as honest as Harry. There are some dishonest owners out there and I have been to a few different coin shops that do match price as long that you have proof.

Hi Razorback Stacker! Yes, I couldn't agree more! 😎I just subscribed to your channel!

So nice to talk up the hobby and educate without politics. Thanks SD

The relationship stuff is so understated. I loved toned Morgan dollars and my local shop would pull them aside for me and give me first dibs whenever they got some in.

Common Courtesy, Common Sense and Respect. I enjoyed this one Silver Dragons. A++++++

I loved this episode. Thank you so much. I plan to make my first silver stacking purchase tomorrow with a local coin dealer. Our conversation over the phone was fantastic, and I'm looking forward to seeing the shop and making a purchase. Thanks to this channel I feel much more confident and sound like I know what the heck I'm talking about.

They expressed this segment well with the exception of the target and Walmart example, price matching or beating is fairly common amongst retail stores. I don’t consider coin shops to live in that world though, we never know what they are paying for their products as it’s a different market with most things sold second hand or more….

Such a great business! Harry is very fortunate to have such great employees. Adrian and King Richard are very professional. As always, Great content!

It’s funny because in Australia the big shopping chains like target/Kmart/Bunnings invite you to tell them that the other is cheaper and even offer a 10% discount if the other shop is found to be cheaper, It’s great for consumers to always keep prices at its lowest.

What a cool shop. These guys are true gentlemen. Your area is blessed to have such a great local shop! As a semi retired person and avid stacker it would be a dream to work with folks like them.

Another great video! But what i didn't get is harry stating : If he offers a seller of coins to little the customer may get offended: but the same way will be with harry getting offended if someone whos Buying offers to low a price. Which he has stated.

Another great video. Harry is always a gentleman. Thanks Silver Dragon!

Thanks so much for this video. I was wondering about this for a while as a newbie. Awesome video dude.

I appreciate this! Longtime fan of the Royal Canadian Mint's collectible coins - but the actual coin shop space still felt a little foreign to me. I might've done the one 'don't' about asking for a discount your first time... but in my defence - I asked for 5$ off listed, with cash, knowing the credit card fee would be about the same to the shop owner.. needless to say, we're still on great terms hahaha

Some great information in this visit! Thanks for sharing it! 👍

I really appreciate these videos as a newbie, thank you!

Thanks for the tips !

Excellent information!! This is a great crew!!

The really nailed it on the head. I worked in various coin shops over the years, starting in the 70's, and have heard all of these things and many more. I was in Vegas for much of that time, including running the coin dept at the pawn stars. The number of scams and counterfeits we got in town was far beyond other cities but seeing it really helped me learn. Kudo's to these guys!

Incredible video. It is a very sensitive topic that other Coin Shops may not have wanted to discuss. Harry and his Crew are all class. I look forward to seeing their shop one day and spending some money with them.

Love Harry's shop. I've referred many there when I needed to.

What a Great KNOWLEDGEABLE coin staff! Would love to visit this shop!

Good timing. Lots of new stackers in coin shops these days. 👍

Very useful video for new stackers!

Awesome video, you can tell these 3 gents are very straight up and very knowledgeable.

Another great video. Thanks!

Etiquette tip: If you bite a gold coin to test it like in an old western movie, most coin shop owners will be impressed by your coolness and give you a discount.

Respect to these people, so educated and well mannered.

Very good video. Thanks man!

Great post, actually made me want to start buying some bars, I did go today and buy 5 goldbacks, i'm going to use them as stocking stuffers, but if it weren't for this channel, I would not have known they exist. Thanks for teaching us more about the hobby, be safe guys.

Would love to shop here. These videos were what got me into my local coin shops up here in Canada!

Very humble and cool guys. Knowledgeable, as well.

This was a great video for everyone to watch and learn. Thank you.

God bless everyone. Harry & the crew + Silver Dragons are all great dudes!

I would love to do business with these guys. I wish they were in my town! And thank you Silver Dragons for bringing us these interviews! Great content.

thank you very much..!!..I certainly appreciate the Advises..!!!...diffinitely learn 1 or 2 things here..!!!!

I really appreciate both Harry's Coin Shop (both he and his employees) and Silver Dragons for the education I have received from this series. What makes me the most disappointed is that I just lost Oregon from my assigned territory. I still have friends in the area and may still visit, but in the meantime, I may just give them a call to verify and buy items. Truly, a great dealer!
