Unfortunately there are some dealers who don't seem to get much traffic and others who seem to be busy most of the time. I get the impression that for most dealers the show was good and their comming back. One dealer was completely cleand out of slabs from all four makor services by a new coin dealer locating to Boca. The show is busy for the first few hours and then public dies down for the last hours. ICG was the only TPGS at the show. </p><p><br /></p><p>One note: I had two different SUCESSFUL deales come up to the table with YN basic coin collecting questions. I have no time for dealers as this and I like to try to teach them what they are seing in a way that makes them wish to learn more in the future. It is much more harsh than I would for a student because they should be embarassed not to know that a die clash is not a scratch into the coin or that a rounded, smooth, shiny, surface usually indicates a polishe coin. Know your dealer because some of them are not very knowledgeable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
