<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 119611, member: 4552"]We have several coin shows a Month around here. Today there was two of them. One just West of me and the other about twice as far to the North. There is one every second Sunday of every Month just south of me. Then there is the usuall massive ones every once in a while. For instance there is a Chicago International Coin Fair coming up on March 30 to april 2. I don't like that one even though I usually go. They carge $5 to get in and there is $11 to park. They made sure there is no place to park free in the area. They built so much garbage there and all parking is paid. </p><p> Then we have coin stores or stores that sell coins around here also. One great disapointment was a local indoor flea market closing recently. There was about 6 coin dealers there that had the greatest prices anywhere. With all this going on I thought people would get tired of hearing about all these shows.</p><p> And another really horrible thing is the lack of any YN's at these shows or stores. One nice thing about this is that most of the people at these shows make me feel like a kid and I'm well into my 60's. One dealer told me he wasn't really a dealer. He was just selling off his entire 60 years of collecting because none of his relatives want anything to do with the coins. My son is the same. Don't know what will happen to my coins when time comes. He will probably just take them to a bank.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
