Message:: [QUOTE="900fine, post: 576091, member: 6036"]EAC - NOT a coin show ! We've chewed up 3 pages on this thread, with some interesting stuff from interesting people. What major topic is missing ? Oddly enough, there is very little talk about buying and selling copper ! That's right... ya got some copper nuts with money to spend, turned loose in Copper Heaven (with 100 times as much choice material as most coin shows)... and yet most of this thread has nothing to do with acquisition ! What does that tell ya ? With this crowd, it's more about knowledge, skills, and expertise. Don't get me wrong... I went there with a buying mission in mind, and I scored. Big time. In fact, that's what sent me to my first convention - finding good copper because coin show copper was awful. But EAC is NOT a coin show. Coin shows are 95% marketplace, 5% education. Sure, coin show folks will answer questions. And one gains skill and experience at coin shows. But Coin Shows are about sales, not knowledge. At EAC, there is SO much more than the bourse floor. Seminars all day, every day. Man, I love it. There are fewer seminars at coin shows, and for good reason. EAC places a high value on knowledge and sharing thereof. Awesome place to learn. Oh... one more thing... there really is a lot of awesome copper changing hands ! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Some of it wound up in Ricky World ! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> heh heh[/QUOTE]
