I’d make a b-line directly to the dealers store not waiting for the next show.&nbsp; While I was browsing in the store I would look to see if the price on the coin had changed and if there were other deals that weren’t at the show.&nbsp; If not I would take out my hard earned money and buy the coin and make a note of any coin I liked at the store.&nbsp; If you noticed a coin in the store that wasn’t at the show then I would ask the dealer if he still had the coin if he would bring it to the next show for me or put it on lay-a-way if the store was not too far away and he/she agreed.&nbsp; If you are new to coin collection then I would not only be looking for a nice coin, I would also be looking for any information (reading material, books, etc.) regarding the type coin you collect.&nbsp; I would even take my five bucks and consider joining a club that specified in the coin of choice if you could find one.&nbsp; Ask the question here in CT, I’m sure if such a club exists people will be more than willing to help you.&nbsp; But as for what to buy, only you my friend can make that decision.&nbsp; Books have been written with respect to the question you asked.&nbsp; Just about every reply to your question someone has mentioned a different denomination or series of coin.&nbsp; It just goes to show, there are deals out there.&nbsp; You just have to be knowledgeable enough to know when one is looking you in the face.</font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
