<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Delmer, post: 300608, member: 8219&quot;]I have never gone to a show before.. I left feeling glad that I went, but dissapointed in the experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is it common that the floor is full of dealers who want too much for their stuff?&nbsp; I wasn&#039;t looking for bargains or anything.. but geeze the prices looked like they were for that ONE buyer who needed ONE coin to finish a century old collection.&nbsp; Mostly the action was all dealer-on-dealer.. I didn&#039;t see John Q Punlic browsing around. The aisles were fairly empty (friday12-5pm).&nbsp; a roll of tennesee quarters with writing on the wrapper was 30 bucks! </p><p><br /></p><p>Part of *my* fun is trying to find something that is &quot;pretty&quot; and cheap. only 1 item fit the bill, a foreign modern silver ounce round with a laser-etched design on it. I passed on it though, thinking it may be fake.&nbsp; It smelled bad.</p><p><br /></p><p>I brought alot of stuff to the show for the graders to peek at.. pretty much the answers were &#039;naah, not worth grading&#039;, &#039;We don&#039;t grade those&#039;, &#039;that has been cleaned&#039;, &#039;We grade foreign but that won&#039;t fit into any of our holders&#039;, and for my statehood commems (boy the internet boon DESTROYED those values).. &#039;that&#039;ll be 340 dollars please&#039;.&nbsp; I submitted a seated Liberty CC quarter for the PCGS free special too. Only 17 bucks.&nbsp; Oh and my 178 degree rotated Adams.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got to sneak into the VIP auction and the first 3 went for spot-gold value.. the rest were either no-bid, or one or 2 internet bids. The people in the room were busy eating the free food and only a couple bid on anything.&nbsp; I left it half way through though.</p><p><br /></p><p>All-in-all I think the shows just aren&#039;t for the casual dude. Way too many $7000 coins to look at.&nbsp; I saw NO security. There must have been 3 billion dollars worth of stuff in that room.. and it seemed 90% were Morgans and Eagles and such.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
