The advertising industry uses pretty girls(women) to sell everything. Cars,boats,motorcycles, booze and on and on. Why not selling coins ? I don't have a problem with the looks of any coin dealer man or woman. BUT.. you have to ask yourself, Would you rather be talking to a pretty girl at a booth about a coin or waiting for some guy to finish his donut and diet soda just to answer a question. I know they have to eat but I think it's kinda rude to see someone chewing on a sandwich and looking at you like you're an alien. The women I've seen have put their food down and seem to want to make a sale. JMO.. John
Believe it or not: My wife points out the really pretty girls for me. No harm in looking, just don't buy.
I do believe this... and you don't have the only wife who does this. Somewhat off topic, since other hobbies have been brought up: There are rarely women of any kind at the model train shows I've been to-- it's maybe a 1 to 100 ratio. Of those, the majority are there with young children. The very rare (approximately a "55 double die error" rarity) attractive girlfriend or spouse without children gets noticed, whether the model railroad crowd admits it or not. Meanwhile, back on topic: I've seen some attractive women at coin shows I've been to, but they usually would rather talk to my cute little YN, as in, "What a pretty dress you have on!" Oh, my deflated ego...
Pretty women are always to pleasure to behold....but most are high maintance and lord knows I do not need that! For me, the reason I am there is to look for the notes and coins I want...I already have a beautiful wife and son! RickieB
My mother is like that---but we don't share the same taste She is always saying--there is a nice looking girl...and I'm like....PLLLLEASEEE..... Speedy
I don't know about a "booth babe" but if a table has an attractive girl at it, it would probably hold my attention. But, I'm a shy guy (believe it or not! ) so I probably wouldn't go over to that table, I'd just look. Phoenix

Let me edit that post so that it has the desired effect and isn't a complete affront to the English Language. GOT TO HAVE GIRLS
I have some GREAT coin pickup lines for the Hot Coin Babe: "Heeeyyy... Nice toning!!" "Do you prefer reeded edges?" "Haven't I seen you on an 1804 dollar? Or was it a 1913 nickel?" "This coin may be an AU-58 but you're a PR-70 Cameo High relief!" I would show her no mercy in my wooing and thus reduce her to jelly. Uh-huh.
Bad idea, comparing her to a Liberty on US coins before the 20th century. Might not be taken as a compliment!
I went to a tradeshow in Norway where they had a woman in nothing but a g-string. Her body was painted completely blue with a logo on her back. She then walked around the show picking up a trail on men behind her and led them to the booth were there was another woman in the same get up...and these women were model good looking... In the end, if the women turns heads, it will probably get people to come by to at least gawk...but I have never seen a woman at a coin show that made me look twice save to try and figure out what that thing is growing out of her second or third chin
You know you're dating a coin girl when she thinks of her suntan as "toning". Of course, most of them are AT...
