Bargain away. I hope to stop by that show at 10:00am Sat morning since I'll be in the area, but can only spare a hour. I've never been to this show I think it is a fairly new show, I believe this is maybe thier 2 or 3 show but is now supposed to be a Bi-annual show. I've been going to the Vienna show for years that one runs quarterly (next show 1/27/2007) and I suspect most of the same dealers will be in Annandale. I'm hoping to cherrypick a RPM or 2 in the short time I have. Hope you have several hours to take it all in and enjoy. Good luck!

 

Wow, thanks for all the great advice guys!

 

Here are the particulars on the NOVA coin show this weekend.I'll be there on Sunday.Just look for the guy with gray hair,beard and glasses....oh I forgot....everyone there will look like that.

Well,the women and children won't have beards....hopefully

 

Well I don't know if I saw you there or not. I got there later than I thought and rushed in made a quick circle around. Bought a nice 53-S RPM#2 and a 1949 D/D Unlisted (Nickels of course) weren't to many raw jeffersons there only had about 40 min at the show. Hope you had a great first experience. This show was alot less crowded than the Vienna show, at least the aisles where wide enough for people to get around.

 

How could one tell if a coin was cleaned? Is "wizzed" another word for cleaned?
-A sucker, er, novice.

 

Wizzed is a type of cleaning---as for how can one tell if a coin is cleaned---that can take years of learning for some types of cleaning and others its easy.
I don't have photos here right now to show but I'm sure some of the guys do---cleaning can take 50% of a coins value down the pit---
