<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Theodosius, post: 2614167, member: 77077&quot;]Thanks for the great pictures and write up Sallent!&nbsp; That is one of the best show reports I have seen with all the great pictures you included.</p><p><br /></p><p>I find that you have to hunt to the combination of coin you want/price you want to pay at shows. I tend to look for the coins I have never seen before and you don&#039;t often find for sale online. Most dealers tell me the really good stuff they get never gets posted online because they already know who they will sell it to when they buy it, either at a show or through a phone call. This does not always mean high priced either, although a lot of that stuff gets sold without ever being listed as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are also dealers who don&#039;t do ebay or vcoins, don&#039;t have websites, don&#039;t print price lists but have great coins. James Beach is one of those. I bought my Rhegion tetradrachm in my avatar from him at last year&#039;s FUN show. The only way I would ever have seen it would be at the show. Then I could pick it up and look at it in hand (very impressive).&nbsp; I doubt I would have bought it from just a photo.</p><p><br /></p><p>I usually pick up a lot of really inexpensive coins at shows that are not worth the cost to list and sell online, then have fun figuring out what they are when I get home.&nbsp; It helps to go year after year so people get to know you and what you are looking for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
