<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 2065117, member: 15309"]Ya know, a few months ago, we had a debate about this subject as some members of this forum were insisting that attending coin shows is a basic necessity in becoming a knowledgeable collector. My point was that the costs involved in actually attending a major show would be more than what you would risk buying coins sight unseen via internet photos. All I know is that I have never been burned for over $1K for buying a coin sight unseen.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for NYC, it is an incredible city, I wish I lived there. Broadway shows, five star restaurants, great museums, the Metropolitan Opera, and so many bars that I don't think you could ever visit them all. On a side note, when I sold the major portion of my collection through Heritage, I took a town car from Atlantic City to NYC to drop the coins off personally rather than sending them through the mail. Nothing like creating an excuse to go to NYC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
