<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nerosmyfavorite68, post: 25498856, member: 134416&quot;]There was a local coin show, both yesterday and today.&nbsp; I would have probably been better off taking yesterday off and going.&nbsp; The coin show&#039;s hours today were 10 AM to 6PM.&nbsp; I had forgotten about the show and by the time I set out at 1 PM today various things came up and I was delayed until three.&nbsp; Based on other conventions of various kinds I&#039;ve been to, dealers pack up in the middle of the day Saturday.&nbsp; Do you think I made the right choice just to give up and return home?</p><p><br /></p><p>There was only one dealer in ancients there and besides pick bins (which are usually fairly decrepit - at least they were 10 years ago), he usually only has more expensive coins.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been looking for a toner Morgan, and this show might have been more suited for that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although I have picked up some of my very favorite coins at coin shows (and 2 of the 3 came from him, but they were AV coins), 50% of the time it&#039;s aimless spending; stuff I quickly forget about.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is an LCS near me but it&#039;s more of a buy-gold-and-silver type place, and it has the world&#039;s worst parking lot - 5 spots.&nbsp; The best firm in town has three locations but all are really inconveniently located for my needs.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is there a U.S. coins version of vcoins/ma-shops?&nbsp; What are some of the better mail order dealers?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d like to complete my mission of one nicely toned 1800&#039;s Morgan dollar.&nbsp; I do like the rainbow toners but those are mostly faux patinas, I hear.&nbsp; I&#039;d probably be better off sticking to rim toning.&nbsp; The one I ordered in May might have done the trick but it disappeared in transit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
