<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sullykerry2, post: 2332041, member: 57121&quot;]Good teaching thread.&nbsp; I attend shows (NYINC, Baltimore, Garden State in NJ) I try to time my visits to family in LA for the Long Beach Show.&nbsp; When I lived and worked in Washington DC and attended the Vienna show.</p><p><br /></p><p>I go to shows primarily to learn. </p><p><br /></p><p>I collect coins based on my heritage:&nbsp; Irish, Canadian including Newfoundland.&nbsp; I also collect Japanese pre-WWII. I was an exchange student there and subsequently returned to work. </p><p><br /></p><p>Recently, I have branched into Portuguese coins, specifically from the period of the dual monarchy in Brazil and Portugal (Joao VI). The Brazilian 960 Reis of this period are fascinating given the number of overstrucks/counterstamps using 8 Reales from throughout Latin America.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you are a dealer willing to spend time and patiently explain the history of a particular coin, you have my attention and loyalty as a collector.&nbsp; I do like to politely haggle. It is part of ascertaining price discovery.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
