<p>[QUOTE="JHar4330, post: 285476, member: 10141"]I love going to the bargain bins to get cheap stuff, if you get a bunch of stuff a lot of dealers will give a discount. Also the coins that are just laying around not in holders. For example there were a bunch of indian head pennies laying around and i asked how much they were. He said 1 dollar each. I picked the best looking one i could find and got it, ill put it in a 2x2 once i go home. Also I think the Lincoln 09 VDB would be a good buy for you at your first show. I got mine in AU for $8. Coin shows are great because you can compare prices of all the dealers and there is a huge selection, on top of that, you can negotiate with the people. If there is a bucket of coins listed at "$1 each" ask the guy "How many coins can i get for $5" or "i'll give you $5 for these six coins" I'm neither rich nor a good grader so I always go for the cheap stuff.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
