<p>[QUOTE="Silverhouse, post: 2157661, member: 29452"]I've seen it both ways. Coins at a show that were priced significantly lower than my LCS, and vice versa. The problem with shows is, some dealers won't give collectors the time of day. Or for me at least, when I go, I ask if they have what I am looking for, most of the time I am met with a snarl or I don't know of anyone here who would have that coin. Really? Your're a dealer, surely there is a network. Someone always knows somebody. That's why the last time I went to the Baltimore-Whitman show I stuck to dealers through coin talk who attended the show. No problems. No BS. I myself as a collector know the hits and losses I may take on any given coin, and I am prepared for that. The best thing I've found though is sell to or trade with another collector. </p><p><br /></p><p>Coin shows also give me the opportunity to hunt for coins that none of my LCS's have.
