[QUOTE="clembo, post: 285509, member: 8033"]Coin shows are a lot of fun and as mentioned bargain bins can be a ball. Don't need to spend a ton and maybe walk away with a few coins that were on your list. It's also a great way to get to know dealers. Most are more than happy to chat and share information. At our smaller local shows I generally hit a few favorite dealers. I'll pick out some coins and just ask "what can you do for me?" They always give me a decent price because they know I've bought before and would like for me to buy again. Being polite can go a long way. The majority of dealers at shows are there to sell coins NOT rip people off. They want your repeat business. If you're polite they tend to take to you better.
