There are costs to go - plane, hotel, etc. The biggest advantage is meeting dealers and collectors face-to-face, making friends and making...

No, they don't. And that's why they're special.
I absolutely and 100% disagree with you. Let me tell you why: a few years ago, I discovered the DDR-005 for the 1951 Franklin. The coin was...
