<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TexEditor, post: 2286, member: 247&quot;]<b>RE: Coin catalog problems</b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the comments, Peter. I&#039;ve only been collecting about 2 years, but I have had some decent success at coin shows. I live about midway between Austin and Waco, and both towns have occasional shows. I found it helpful to make a list of needs, wants and wishes and carry a recent coin-price catalog for reference, although it&#039;s tacky to check it out in front of the dealer. It&#039;s best to make a note of the asking price, and check out the listings later, away from the tables.</p><p>For your information, the catalog company that did a number on me with the VDB penny was Mount Vernon Coin Company out of Maryland. It&#039;s too bad, since I bought a couple nice coins from them before that incident.</p><p>I&#039;ve been buying some relatively inexpensive coins from Coast to Coast Coins recently and have been very pleased with the price and quality.</p><p>My best deals come from my local coin dealer. We have a good rapport and he often cuts me some nice deals on the coins I&#039;m looking for.</p><p>Thanks again for your input![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
