<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1988920, member: 19463"]I find it interesting that we failed in our attempt to found an ancient coin club despite the fact that we have enough people who buy such things that the small local show will draw three ancient/medieval only dealers and a couple more that carry some ancients along with their World. Part of the difference is that I am out East where cities are closer to each other and people will drive a hour to a show but would not to attend a club meeting. My benefit from being near a local club in the 80's was that several members were more advanced collectors than I am so they had cast-off that I might want. Now I know people with nice collections but the stuff they want to get rid of is like the stuff I have to get rid of and neither of us wants each other's cast-offs. That would make a club with us as members just a matter of having someone to show what you got since the last meeting but not much in the way of buying and selling to each other.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
