<p>[QUOTE="baseball21, post: 6564849, member: 76863"]Just spend the 1 dollar ones, pretty much no dealer is going to have any interest in those and if they do they're just going to give you face value for it.

Many people make the mistake of thinking that just because someone has a table at the show that they're honest good people, that is far from the case especially at smaller local shows. There almost certainly will be dealers there that have a lot of inventory that was cracked out from details slabs being sold as problem free, and there will very likely be dealers there that will try and take advantage of someone they think doesn't know any better. Now that said there are usually good dealers at every show you just have to figure out who they are which is the hard part. </p><p><br /></p><p>In generally shows usually aren't great to sell at unless you have a long relationship with someone, most of the dealers will only want to buy if they get a great deal on it, but it never hurts to try. Don't be scared to say no or walk away though. Generally speaking trading gets you the worst results. Usually the person that would give you the highest value for your coins ends up being someone different than the person who has the coin you want. Try different tables for offers they will generally have a range, but with low value stuff like that it will very likely be difficult to get much interest from them. Directly to another collector will likely be your best bet, just don't do it in the show as shows will throw people out that do that that didn't pay for a table[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
