<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Phil Ham, post: 698081, member: 5787&quot;]We only have one coin show a year in the area that I live in.&nbsp; I buy many more coins from ebay or local auctions.&nbsp; I love our coin show but am curious about the protocol of paying for the coins.&nbsp; Although I collect coins, I don&#039;t like carrying much money around with me.&nbsp; I complete most of my transactions on line or use debit or credit cards.&nbsp; The coin shows do not seem to like the debit or credit cards probably because they don&#039;t like paying the fee.&nbsp; They also don&#039;t like checks probably from the bad ones they&#039;ve received in the past.&nbsp; That leaves me with bringing a lot of cash.&nbsp; How primitive I think as I then proceed to pay hundreds of dollars for coins, which I never put into circulation.&nbsp; It is probably the only time all year that I need to withdraw money from an ATM to pay for anything.&nbsp; My question, what do the dealers prefer to receive at coin shows?&nbsp; If it is cash, aren&#039;t you worried about security?&nbsp; I must say that many of the dealers now know me and will accept my checks.&nbsp; If I were them, I would prefer checks over carrying a boat load of cash.&nbsp; Of course, I guess they are carrying a lot of coins worth a boat load of cash anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
