<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Theodosius, post: 2331797, member: 77077&quot;]I love good coin shows.&nbsp; I drive a few hours every winter and summer to the FUN show in Florida.&nbsp; My wife and I both like meeting the dealers and other collectors in person and talking.&nbsp; We both feel like seeing coins in your hand instead of a photo online is so much better way to appreciate it and decide if you want it. We also like antiquities and it goes even more for them.&nbsp; Usually we find dealers have stock with them that never makes it online or any other venue. I usually save for months before each show and rarely come home with any current legal tender but lots of obsolete money and goodies.&nbsp; I have developed relationships with multiple dealers who know what I like and try to find it for me.&nbsp; I definitely follow dealers I have met at shows on vcoins and their own websites in preference of those I have not met.&nbsp; Last FUN show I came home with 48 coins ranging from a tetradrachm to shipwreck pieces of 8 to uncleaned ae2s.&nbsp; I cherry picked a thasos tetradrachm from a dealer with a hoard of 50!&nbsp; I got to look through multiple groups of 100s of various more common coins which I also love.&nbsp; A good show keeps me fired up for collecting for months afterwards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
