<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1211143, member: 16948&quot;]This is a fun hobby, and I&#039;m not trying to take the fun out of coins at all.&nbsp; All these do&#039;s and don&#039;t&#039;s are what dealers would like have happen in a perfect world.&nbsp; The main thing to keep in mind, as was already mentioned, is two-way respect, courtesy, and professionalism - that&#039;s all - &quot;do unto dealers as you would have them do unto you.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I definitely would like you to enjoy attending shows, dealing with me (and, ok, other dealers too!), learning, finding just the right coin, etc.&nbsp; And as a dealer, I am there to sell coins but I want to enjoy what I&#039;m doing and working with all you collectors is truly enjoyable for me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re not much of a people person, then I can understand how you might prefer staying at home and ordering coins online. But in my opinion, you&#039;re missing out on a big part of the fun of this hobby, and that is the comaraderie you get interacting with friendly knowledgeable dealers, handling and viewing coins in person, then showing off your new purchases to your other coins buddies, and even to the dealers.&nbsp; Even attending lot viewing and live auctions can be a thrill that you&#039;d miss if you only bid on and bought coins on line.&nbsp; Coins should be something to experience, in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, the more you learn, especially hands on, the less likely you&#039;d need to return the coins you buy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
