Message:: [QUOTE="aubade21, post: 1862926, member: 44104"]I thought it odd too, Tom. Specifically, I noticed it happen with "junk" silver. In the shop the day before silver was like 16x face (I don't remember exactly), but at the show they were at something like 18x. And no, silver didn't jump that much in a day. Funny thing was, nearly the entire show was about the same.  For those of you that have read "The Pearl" by Steinbeck, it made me think of the original dealers Kino approaches (he was selling, but the point is the same). Although I wasn't looking for junk silver, it made me think. I should say that I have a lot of respect for the dealers around here. Good people, and from my limited dealings, they have been honest. I just don't like the idea that I have to "pay up" + incur expense to get the coins I like. I'm sort of with Condor now, where I feel like going to coin shows is an opportunity to meet people and see friends versus pulling out a bunch of money and buying coins. Maybe it's just my bad luck.[/QUOTE]
