<p>[QUOTE="nesvt, post: 185092, member: 1749"]I've been turned away by several dealers at different shows. I'm not young. I've worn different attire... from shorts and a t-shirt, to going right from work in a suit and tie, and everything in between. I was told a lot of dealers have VAMphobia. They don't want to get cherrypicked on Morgan and Peace dollars. Some are trying to increase their knowledge in this area. I usually don't even pull out my loupe any more. Most want you to have a list of coins you need for your set and request it specifically. Lately, I've taken a different approach. I ask for a date and mint that has a specific VAM (like "do you have any circulated 1899-O Morgans?"). They'll usually show you a couple and then you can glance at your list and ask for something else... or they slide the box of raw coins your way because they figure you're trying to complete a set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
