Emerald Coast Coins on Creighton is my go to for coins also. Good people. Highly recommended.I believe Don's started off in Town and Country Plaza, moved to the shop on East Nine Mile at the railroad track, then to their present shop on Palafox, north of Nine Mile Road. Only went in the present shop one time, and felt like I was intruding, and got a strange feeling. The coin and stamp store was on Chemstrand Rd., south of Nine Mile. You're right, it was sort of junky. I believe it is closed. Emerald Coast Coins on Creighton is my go to place for gold and silver...well ran and good family.
