We shop at a local pawn/gun/gold/silver shop that has been in business since the early 70s and currently managed by the son of the original owner. Even when shopping around, we’ve always return to his store since he has the best prices. We recently purchased several rounds of Walking Liberty half dollars at a decent price.
So yes, local is best and look for a place that has been in business for years for the best service.

How did you pay for them? Did he take your dollars in exchange?
