[QUOTE="giorgio11, post: 1898680, member: 17094"]Why do you make your plurals using 's? The correct form for plurals is coins, conventions, dealers, quarters. The [I]possessive[/I] form is 's for a singular. The quarter's hairlines are distracting. And please pardon my obsessive-compulsive tendencies in this regard; I have been a lifelong professional writer and editor. But your writing (and many people's perceptions of your messages) will improve if you absorb this rule. Regarding your questions, it is perfectly fine to offer your coins to dealers at the shows, they are glad to have sales offers. In general, though, show organizers and other dealers take a dim view of people wandering the bourse floor trying to make sales to other attendees. After all, the dealers have paid for their table space, expenses, and so forth. Good luck! Best Regards, :) George[/QUOTE]
