<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 7952724, member: 72790&quot;]Like you, Doug, and probably most members, I have not been to a show for some time but I just got my third booster shot last week and a local club show has its monthly show coming up and this will be my first show in a while. Like a number of others it is a small show but I am pretty well known and recognized as a collector of ancients. I hope my old friends will be there because they used to hold any ancients they got and whether I wanted them or not they would show them to me and ask about attribution and probable selling price. I really felt good when they would ask me that and I really miss that numismatic camaraderie. Big frog in a little pond. By the way, i was able to become known as a collector of ancients because I would always stop at every table, every month, and ask it anyone had picked up any. Most of the time the answer was, No, but every once in a while, even those guys who were heavily into US coinage would say something like , &quot;Yes, I did pick up a couple&quot;. Do that for a while and they will hold these coins for you to look at and for me, most of the fun part was attributing the coins for them and giving them a ball park figure for pricing them. And yes, sometimes I would buy one and since this is just a hobby for me, not a business venture, I would give them more than a fair price. It&#039;s not good to foul your own pond. Anyway, I am so looking forward to getting back there and I hope there won&#039;t be any empty chairs there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
