Message:: [QUOTE="Jhonn, post: 345518, member: 5418"]You're lucky you got to attend that. Unfortunately, I had to fly to Boston for that weekend in order to attend my graduation (I actually graduated from Brandeis early in the winter of '05, but obviously the actual graduation for my class wasn't until May of '06). I was really bummed to miss that, but excited to receive my diploma. :smile I've been to about 8-10 shows, all in the last year or so. Personally, I wish I had started going to them earlier. At this point, I don't purchase coins any other way now. I used to shop at a great local shop in Newton, MA, but that's no longer an option living in Denver, and I've purchased a few ancient coins online, but again, that's no longer the case. Like someone else said, it really is like being a kid in a candy store...so much to see and buy! Furthermore, it's possible to haggle with dealers, and you have so many more options in terms of different coin types (world, ancient, etc., though U.S. coins still dominate most shows). There's two coming up soon here, including the semi-annual Denver coin show. Saving up for that one.[/QUOTE]
