It's at 2:00 mst, my grandpa and his three friends are coming, they are mild collectors, I am also going on Sunday with my dad, not a collector, and Can't wait! It seems like a minute is an hour right now! Wish me, my grandpa, and his three friends luck, I am taking my iPad so may update you guys live or ask for price help, will take pics! First coin show for me! Anything else needed besides this: Magnifier Price guides Grading book Pen Marker Paper And the most important, money! Btw, have made kits with all of the above besides money(they will bring there own), so we all have the necessary items! So excited!
I'm excited for you! Most importantly, have fun! Also, the dealers love it when you say things like "I can get that exact coin on ebay for half the price!"
Good luck for this premiere ! Don't hesistate to pick up some ancients ( at least some pics ) - Froggy
I pretty much buy ancients for the fact that you can just think of who held it, so I don't pay much for them, but I can get them from my coin dealer for 1.00 each, I will get pics of ancients if they have some, just for you Froggy! There will be moe than 100 tables and over 60 dealers! Bringing 55.00 with me, but don't plan on spending all of it, can't wait! Going to the bank in 10 minutes b/c all I have is coin rolls and wanna bring cash only, anything I should look for? Specifically, anything I need to bring? Any terms that are not used on the forum that may be used there, also, how do I respond if I want to look at a coin and a dealer says, oh, those are out of your price range,?
My dad actually made their Facebook page, and helped with the website, the problem is, he is happy to support my hobby but he, and my immediate family, besides my grandpa, don't share it
Oh, ok, have fun! I was just asking since one of the largest shows around here is today thru Sunday as well.
live update:at grandpas house, with his friends, oh now we are leaving, and now were at the coin show
That was not a live update, we had no wifi, so here it goes, grandpa got a wlh for 12.00, friend 1 got an au 1896 p Morgan, and friend 2 got a....Froggycoins you will love this: a 28bc-14ad agustus silver coin for 150, priced at 180, got pics I'll post later, got so much myself(foriegn) that i need to sort it out, but, I think my 3 favorites out of about 100 coins, must be a 2010 proof sac, uncirc,for 3.00' or the 1971 ike(normal Ike) for 1.50 to complete my tube of 20 Ike's, or the AGE copper bullion round for 3.00
