I don't know the first thing about coins, but got left with some old, old pennies. And a headache. I called Coins and Currency and got free advice without even promising to come in. I wanted to sort them myself, and see if I could guess what they'd be worth. Good thing I called first because I almost cleaned them, so I could read the dates, which apparently, would have ruined them. Frank's advice kept me from screwing up. It didn't take me too long of trying to look them up before I decided I bring them to the store instead. Frank is so freakin' knowledgeable that he was able to sort them quite quickly. There were a few good coins, and he explained why some were better than others. He didn't charge me for consulting. He didn't pressure me to sell him the coins. He was just sharing his knowledge. And he didn't make me feel stupid. I knew I was talking to a guy who loved what he was doing. And when I found out he was a history buff, his line of work made a lot of sense.
Pros: knowledgeable
Cons: tasty eatery next door
