[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 906890, member: 112"]Neither one really. People always have this idea that any 2 coins in the same given grade sell for the same amount - they don't.

Somebody is always going to like one or the other more than they like the other one and thus pay more for it. The advantage of going to coin shows is that there are so many coins there. And if you are searching for a particular coin or group of coins you are very likely going to be able to choose from among many of each one. It's kind of like this - a small kid gets the candy his mom brings home, maybe even 2 or 3 candies. He's stuck with those options. That's what happens when you go to your local coin shop - you're stuck with what the local dealer has to offer. Now imaging how that kid would feel if he walked into a candy store the size of a Walmart ! One that had nothing but candy. That's what you will experience at a large coin show.[/QUOTE]
