<p>[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 3050973, member: 93702"]New to Ancients and coins in general. I have been to one tiny Coin Show and it was an eye opener. I had no idea what to expect. Everything from the option to sit and take your time going through books while everything is going on around you was surprising. Us Canadians are fairly polite in general so I always felt I should move on after a couple of brief minutes and give someone else the seat. I enjoyed it and although I am not experienced enough to immediately determine a deal (or fair price) for most ancient coins, I think (?) I am smart enough to keep it to the bargain bin for now and just see if anything catches my eye. I have read many times to "know the coin or the dealer" - I keep this in mind.. I don't know these dealers and limited on the coins... lol - I understand my disadvantage. So these visits are more about learning than buying. Anyway, there are couple of Coin Shows coming up near me over the next month and wondering if anyone would like to share accepted etiquette or advice when I attend. Thank you for any responses...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
