<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 25512916, member: 153164&quot;]Having only gold coins seems like a demise already. I know that there are a lot of different gold items, and some lower-priced things, but there are some people at coin shows who simply don&#039;t collect gold. That is one thing, though, that I would include at the table as a trial.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Honestly, I haven&#039;t gotten to the stage where I specialize in certain coins, but one thing I do sell a lot of is silver coins. I like buying them mainly for the melt value if not sold, and I do hope to have lots of them at the show.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can see your point, though, about specialized dealers. They often are educated better on certain subjects than the average coin dealer&#039;s knowledge of that subject, with an example being Morgan dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a good thing that I can keep track of almost every coin I buy. Often this involves eBay transactions, and &quot;photographic memory&quot; as quoted by some people in my family. However, I do attempt to remember each one of the prices if I do not have a reference. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>LOL, no checks will be a problem I won&#039;t have to deal with! My mother is actually coming to the show with me, partially as another set of sharp eyes. I do agree, though, about not being a bank. While I can make change for a buyer, it would be weird to make change for a neighboring dealer, so I see 100% where you are coming from.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sticking with what I know is another good piece of advice. I do find it cool, though, that dealers can remember Greysheet bids for shows, looking it up just to confirm their remembering.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
