<p>[QUOTE="cdb1950, post: 30766, member: 1735"]Depends on what you are there for. Usually, coin dealers will stock up on cool high end stuff just for the show, so the earlier you get there, the better chance of seeing this stuff before it gets snapped up. On the other hand, near the end of the show, dealers will usually have a bunch of over the table new purchases from collectors, with the common stuff mostly unsearched. You might get to cherry pick some nice coins or varieties from these late purchases. Also, if you want to sell coins, early is good if you think you have some of the cool high end stuff to sell, late is good if you have common things for sale. Dealers will want to stock up on proof and mint sets for the next show, and they will have a few bucks in their pockets from the show, so they might be more likely to buy quantities of common stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>I collect high end Ike dollars and early Jefferson nickels.
