There are people who are interested in numismatics, history and exunumia for more than just the pecuniary aspects but you can't really blame folks for that. After all, a coin show's commercial transactions are its primary reason for existence. Yes, I see those crowded presentations as well but don't attend since I don't collect Morgan or Peace dollars and could not care less about the financial aspects of that piece of the hobby/trade.
