[QUOTE="Bacchus, post: 45636, member: 759"]I've been to one, and I keep meaning to go to others here, but I keep forgetting to mark them down on my calendar. The one I went to had about 30 to 40 tables, and dealers were present at all of them and selling coins or coin collecting accessories and books. A nice contrast from gun shows, where half the tables are selling things unrelated like beef jerky, t-shirts, and even over-priced coins. While I was at the coin show, I only saw maybe six other visitors/buyers. I was expecting more of a crowd; I think I was there at 1pm on Saturday. I bought two coins for my Type collection (a Seated Liberty dime was one) and that's where I bought [i]Photograde.[/i] There's another show coming up here two weeks from Saturday; I'll try and get down to see it. The nice thing about coin shows seems to be selection, even though the dealers are only bringing a small part of their inventory. Different dealers seem to have different areas of specialization, so you get to see some coins you don't see only going to a few dealers. I'm making a lot of generalizations here for only having seen one show. ;)[/QUOTE]
