Message:: [QUOTE="spirityoda, post: 2179570, member: 44633"]make a check list 1st.1 bring your list of wanted coins/with list of how much you want to pay for each coin/grade wise.2  bring your own magnifying glass3  bring possible coins to trade/sell if you have duplicates or just upgrade and paying the difference.  4 never interupt a dealer if he/she is dealing with someone else at his/her table already.5 always ask to look in their cases.  always be nice.  if there are to many people at the table go onto the next table.  I always ask for a discount especially if I have know the dealer for many many years.  but do not ask for a price so low that it may insult the dealer.  I usually ask for a discount if I see that they have multiples of the same coin in the same grade.  I also ask for a discount if I buy like 5-10 coins from the same dealer.  never hurts to ask.  I usually get a great deal by asking.  there are some coins that will always demand firm prices.  this will you learn after looking at thousands of coins.6 most important have fun.7 striking up conversations is always fun.  I always introduce myself and ask hi "what do you collect ?"  then I show them some of the coins I brought to show my regular dealers to the person next to me also looking at coins.  I have met some very interesting people this way.  talking coins to another coin collector is the greatest feeling ever.  be humble because some people can only afford low/medium end coins while others may surprise you with very high end coins.8 when leaving to go to your car... be careful... I carry a knife just for defense only.  never leave your coins in your car if you are going out to lunch/dinner.  take them with you.[/QUOTE]
