<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doppeltaler, post: 2188697, member: 73593&quot;]Ok i was counting days to my local coin show in Raleigh NC. I went in there first day hoping to get a coin or two and it was hugely disappointing . I collect world crowns and had a budget of $300 from my ebay sales over couple of months.</p><p><br /></p><p>So out of close to 150 tables only about 20 had some sort of world coins. Out of them only two was specialized in world coins and others mostly had few boxes of modern or minors. Two dealers who had most of the world coins had mostly raw coins and were way too over priced compared to even ebay.&nbsp; I could buy raw coins from German auctions and had them graded here for less. Graded coins were insanely over priced some times over $100 of what i can get from Heritage/Stacks/Goldberg. When i spoke with the dealers, they were mostly unconcerned and was only willing to discount about 5%. Even the modern and minors were overpriced as i was hoping to buy few cheaply and sell them on ebay. Obviously i didn&#039;t buy and spend my money on Heritage weekly world coin auction. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am surprised the price and attitude of the local coin show dealers and was wondering if this is same across all US ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
