[QUOTE="ja59, post: 3952432, member: 106854"]Randy, while it's completely normal to want to share what we love, It's also prudent to do so wisely, as you know, and as has been said. While attending a regional coin show this past October with my adult daughter, I had the oppurtunity to meet John Frost of the Barber Coin Collectors' Society (BCCS). A very nice fellow. He was manning the tables for the BCCS, along with the table for the Liberty Seated Collectors Club (LSCC). They have some sort of joint affiliation. While both tables were filled with outstanding coins, I was drawn to the Seated Liberty display. As John took his time explaining about the coins and all their history, it was apparent this man new and loved coins. Lots of beautiful coins. John mentioned that he attends coin shows all over in recruitment efforts for the BCCS and LSCC clubs. When I mentioned I really liked a particular coin and would like to acquire one, he quickly said - Oh, none of these coins are for sale, we come to display them only. We love showing them. While I'm sure the clubs help allow him to attend these shows, and while he is there recruiting membership, it is also an outlet for him to display all the coins he loves. So coins shows are not only a way for John to recruit new members, it is also a way for him to display the coins he loves. Something to consider. Hmm.... didn't you mention recently your young son was attending shows with you![/QUOTE]
