Message:: [QUOTE="Vroomer2, post: 176394, member: 80251"]I'd tell them to avoid shop at home coin shows. Next, I'd give them a list of the specific coins I'm always on the look out for ('09-S-VDB, 22 plain, Caesar death coin (the one with the daggers), 1856 FE, 1895 Morgan... "the usual suspects"). Then, I'd put them in contact with my coin dealer. Finally, I'd send them to a coin show.  If they didn't get sticker shock or get gun shy after the call/visit to my coin dealer, then they can go to the coin show and get blasted.  My coin dealer in Cali told me of a lady coming in to his store to buy her son one of the Lincolns from his list. She started asking about the 09-S-VDB, the 22 Plain, etc... She seemed to think these were $100 coins. As in, no more than $100 per coin. My dealer told me it turned out to be an educational visit for her, after the sticker shock wore off. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />  5 more days and we all get to see what spoils my dad got for me at the NOVA coin show. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
