No one said you NEED to attend coin shows to become knowledgable, it was merely suggested that the novice collector should avail themselves of all opportunities to learn, one of which is attending shows (not including shows you have to fly to, of course!).</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s simply good advice.
