Christmas is coming!

There are only 66 days until Christmas .... WOW I know ! 

I don't know if you are like me but, I am always looking for the perfect gift for my friends & family. Do you have a guy that has everything and enjoys Beer ?  Or is your best friend in search of something to spruce up his "mancave"?   Or is your coin collecting family member set on the ONE coin they're missing?  Well, we may have something to help you this year!   

As far as coin collecting,all I know is coin collecting can be very specific and sometimes confusing to someone who is not around coins.  Trust me - I KNOW !  I recently started working with Billy, owner of Old American Coins, and I knew nothing about the coins he was having me work with.  There are so many different things to look for, mint marker, year, type of coin, and condition.  It takes awhile, but once you start working with the coins, you get the hang of it.  If you just started collecting coins & would like more info about coin collecting, check out: http://www.usmint.gov/collectorsClub/ - it has a LOT of very very helpful information!   I also recommend setting up an appt w/ Billy and meeting him at the shop to help you.  Billy not only sells coins, he also buys coins, so if you have a collection you have been looking to sell, call Billy - He would love to check out what you have. 

Billy sells a lot of different things in his shops, you definitely should come and check them out.  We recently revamped our Katy location (Dove Tail Antiques), we have a lot more on display now, including more neon beer signs ! 

The beer signs make a great gift, but if you don't have a need for them, come check out some of the other cool stuff Billy has.  Check out our pictures from the Katy location -
