<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Silverhouse, post: 1792390, member: 29452&quot;]I&#039;ve been to the Baltimore Whitman coin show and was completely lost.&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t find anything.&nbsp; Sure there was a sheet with a list of dealers and their tables, but if I recall correctly, there was no map layout of the where the tables were and nothing telling you how it was all set up.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I took a coin there last time, and took it to several dealers and got a different opinion each time.&nbsp;&nbsp; After awhile I felt I was just being lied to about the coin I had and it&#039;s real value.&nbsp; One person said it was worth forty dollars, another said it was a slider, an other said it was worth only melt.&nbsp; It gave me the impression no one knew what they were talking about, and if they did, they were lying to me.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another problem I encountered was, when I would approach a table more often than not I was completely ignored.&nbsp; It seemed the dealers I came in contact with were only helping long time customers, old buddies, etc, I felt it was a good ol&#039; buddy system.&nbsp; Of the tables I went to, only one seller was completely, at least to me very helpful and I didn&#039;t feel rushed.&nbsp; I felt they had my best interest at heart when deciding to purchase, at least for me, an expensive coin.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Maybe it&#039;s me.&nbsp; Maybe I don&#039;t know what I am doing when I come to these shows.&nbsp; It would be nice if there was a greeter at the entrance to help out with directions, like a concierge of sorts.&nbsp; If I came in and wanted to find a reputable dealer on Barber coins.&nbsp; Where would I go?&nbsp; What is the fastest route to that table?&nbsp; Reading the info they had before and trying to locate tables for me was a nightmare.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Where to meet up with other CT&#039;ers?&nbsp; and those on CT who have tables at the show.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s much different buying at your LCS, at a show, you don&#039;t know anything about the sellers if you&#039;re new to that way of searching for and buying coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
