I took 6 hours to drive to Chicago to attend the Central States show. With 300 dealers, this was twice the size of the largest show I had...
You might try this approach: I found the camera I wanted for sale on Amazon, printed their ordering page with the pricing info, and then went...
I second Mike's comments. At some point, one must decide to pay to play for the coin one wants. For example, I found a beautiful blue toned PCGS...
Hobo - I think you missed my qualifier - "substantial". Thus, not just higher, but lots higher. By my estimation generally, a factor of 1.5-2.0x...
I'm sure this has been brought up before, but for many higher grade coins, I am finding the greysheet to be way behind what dealers are demanding....
No - he is a two person operation (his wife being the other person). He turns over his inventory pretty fast and has said he doesn't have the time...
900fine - I want to update this post and to compliment you. You hit the nail on the head! I just returned from the Central States show and showed...

I think I need a manicure! Hmmm.....thinking about that word leads me in other directions.....I can think of things that could "cure" me! I'm...
Lou - I'm afraid you are being generous since I cannot honestly say that there is sufficient luster for a MS grade (givin my limited knowledge)....
I picked this up at a show last weekend. Having some twinges of buyer's remorse, but it is my first and only shield nickel. This coin was noted...
I second the Belomo loupe. I bought mine from the same place tcore linked to and have been happy. The lanyard with the velcro feature has been...
Thanks! I want to thank all of you who responded to my post. I am glad to find validation in your views that trading the ring for the coin was...
Catbert is the evil human resources director in the comic strip Dilbert. Those of you who understand the cubicle life in corporations get the...
Isn't fun? I too went to a show in Bloomington, IN yesterday. The place was packed (but, it was in a much smaller area than what your picture...
