I'm finding this more and more obvious as I purchase online. Of course too if the pictures are questionable ask for better ones or don't bid it too high.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sadly I don't go to coin shows. I haven't been to any since childhood so am missing a large element of the industry and what to obverse in seeing many better coins of more various types. Closest thing to attending a coin show for me in recent years is visiting Heritage Galleries office in NYC, going to flea markets and the local coin shop by me that went out of business due to the death of the owner. Imagine now, people are probably thinking here, he never attends a coin show, how peculiar, sad, what a pathetic chap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
