Message:: [QUOTE="Shortgapbob, post: 289094, member: 6088"]I had my first experience working a coin show from the dealer's side of the table this weekend at the Frederick, MD coin show.  I must say that it was an interesting experience.  The other dealers welcomed me openly and were very friendly to me.  I received some tips and pointers throughout the weekend and really learned a great deal. As for the show, it was a bit slow.  There was very little traffic on Friday.  Saturday brought a good many people, but more "window shoppers" than buyers.  But, I did sell some coins and made a few nice purchases during the weekend.  I cherried an XF 1819/8 Large 9 Bust Half, as well as an AU-53 1828 O-105 Large 8, Square 2 Half that was labeled as an XF and priced cheap!  I also bought an XF 1813 O-107, which is a fairly scarce variety compared to the common O-107a. My first show as a dealer was certainly a fun and educational experience.[/QUOTE]
