[QUOTE="panda, post: 918017, member: 24443"]i am sorry, if this has been asked before(it has to have been asked). but i couldn't find anything like it. i also know that i should have started this thread a few days ago, because the show is in about 7 hours! i was just wondering if anyone had any tips or do's and don'ts, when going to a coin show? this is my first one since i was a kid(got my first coin then! a dateless buffalo). so i basically know nothing on how they are. i have made a list to take with me that has the coins i am looking for. i did this because, i know i will get flustered with everything. i don't do well when i get excited! i also wrote book prices down next to each coin going by grade and also ebay and other places prices. i always like to treat people with respect, so i am not sure if i should move on if a coin is priced to high or can you negotiate there? also how should i act when looking at there table? i don't want them to think i am up to no good, or anything like that. also is it ok to bring my coin magnifier to get a closer look? or will they look at me like i am crazy or get offended? i guess thats all the questions i have, if i think of anything else before i leave i will ask. i am just looking for some tips for my first time. some things on my list are nothing really that big, but a few are decently pricey coins like.. 1917 type 1 slq in au-ms 1890 morgan-CC in au-ms the others are not that pricey. 1888 morgan-O in ms any year walker half but it has to be ms(my favorite coin and want a nice example) there is some other stuff but don't want to bore everyone and am really just looking for what to do.. thanks![/QUOTE]
