<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 3701953, member: 19165&quot;]There are costs to go - plane, hotel, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>The biggest advantage is meeting dealers and collectors face-to-face, making friends and making connections. Several members here I have met over a fine steak dinner, and we&#039;ve talked coins and wine and steak and such. They&#039;ve shown me rarities, I&#039;ve shown them things I&#039;ve brought and bought, and we&#039;ve marvelled at each other&#039;s treasures. I&#039;ve held million dollar coins that the owner was eager to show me because he knew I&#039;d be interested. The connections you make with dealers will reward you in ways you didn&#039;t even expect. I&#039;ve met and conversed with many names you&#039;d recognized, and I&#039;ve enjoyed almost every interaction. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other advantage is, especially for the FUN show, is seeing the Heritage auction lot preview. Heritage has the lots online for viewing beforehand, of course, but you can literally walk into their lot viewing room and look at any coin you want to, in hand, before the auction. You want to see that 27D St Gaudens? All you have to do is ask. This is a huge advantage that show attendees have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
