<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3105888, member: 19463&quot;]In the several decades I have been attending shows, I have come to expect dealers in ancients to be grouped together in one corner of the venue sometimes labelled &#039;Ancients and Foreign Section&#039; and sometimes not but we know where they are.&nbsp; When the doors open I, and those of my ilk, race past the sellers of nickels and find what we can in our corner of the world.&nbsp; If primarily US dealers happened to have a few ancients, I might well miss them just as you would miss the US coins that an ancient dealer happened to have.&nbsp; I believe adjusting such matters is part of what goes on at shows before shows open to the public.&nbsp; I do occasionally overhear a person asking for something modern in the ancient section but I do believe that sellers with good stocks of both might be better off buying two tables where each of us might see what we came to see.&nbsp; Long ago I gave up going up and down each aisle asking for ancients only to get a blank stare or the standard line, &quot;I have a million of them but did not bring them today.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
