<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 300627, member: 112&quot;]There are few things you need to realize about coin shows - 90% of the business done is strictly between dealers. And dealers at shows are like dealers everywhere - prices are all over the place. It is up to you to know what a fair price is.</p><p><br /></p><p>And the reason there was little activity at the auction is because there was no fresh material. It was the same old coins that all of the dealers had seen a hundred times before. This is also typical. But let some fresh material show up - and you better stand back. It will be like a bunch of sharks in a feeding frenzy and they don&#039;t care who gets in the way.</p><p><br /></p><p>The way to be successful at coin shows is to have knowledge before hand. Then you can pluck the wheat from the chaff <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>And don&#039;t be afraid to not buy any. I&#039;ve gone to many coin shows and not bought a single coin. Then I have gone to others and bought 20 ! You never know, at least most of the time - exactly what you will find at a coin show. But you better be prepared so you know it when you see it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
