Message:: [QUOTE="Paul M., post: 3863521, member: 73165"]My method is:<ol> <li>First, talk to any of my regular dealers who are at the show.  Ask any of them who say they don't have it if they know who would, and note down the names.</li> <li>If I haven't found my coin at any of my regular dealers, go to the people whose names my regular dealers gave me, plus any others who I know might have it.  For example, I might go to @The Penny Lady® or [USER=20480]@ToughCOINS[/USER] to find a 1922 no D.  Again, ask those who don't have my coin who might and note down the names.  Mark a check next to names as I visit them.</li> <li>If I'm out of names and still haven't found my coin, then I might just walk the floor and see what's out there.  Who knows, someone else might have what I'm looking for, or something I didn't even know I was interested in! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></li> </ol>That's it.  For a 1922 no D, I don't think you'd get past step 2.  That's a coin, I'd expect at least 1 or 2 of to be at most shows, even fairly small local ones. For a really niche sort of coin, I might go back to one or more of the dealers from step 2 and ask them for help in obtaining it.  For example, if I were looking for a Caligula denarius in aVF-VF grade, this might be the way to go.[/QUOTE]
