<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 2423010, member: 17261&quot;]A slight caution on &quot;seeing every table first&quot;. I&#039;ve been burned doing that, sometimes when I come back the coin has been sold. I had an instance years ago at a show, I was looking at a Lincoln (a conditionally rare one) and another collector came up and asked to see &quot;that coin again&quot;. I literally had it in my hand, his comment ended the looking stage...so I bought it before he could snag it. LOL This is one of many similar stories. Remember, a show can also be a competition between buyers (and other dealers) for the best coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another tool I find useful besides some magnification, is a powered, lighted magnifier. Some dealers don&#039;t have lighting, it&#039;s poor or someone else is hogging it. Having my own light source is VERY handy. It also gives me a consistent light, not the best, but at least consistent and I&#039;m used to it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
