<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 377294, member: 4552"]Things like this are always worth a try. The primary difference here is if you read most success stories like the one about trading up from a paper clip, you'll notice he probably spent thousands of dollars traveling, posting, writting, calling, etc. to accomplish this. Others, as noted, may go from door to door and if explained as a charity, school experiment, etc., may work due to the time and just wanted to thow it out anyway. </p><p>Remember at a coin show every dealer is there to make money. They spend thier own money renting a space, table, gas and oil in thier cars to get there, food and drimks while there. Then most of their profits are used to support a family. So just why would they just trade upward for you? It could happen though so why not try. At many coin shows I've seen dealers just give a kid a coin. Although that is usually so the parent may feel guilty and purchase something. Of course there are those dealers that just are nice people so try it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
