<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 266715, member: 4552"]Welcome to the world of coins. However, please note that for every new coin collector out there, there will be less coins for me so please find another hobby. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Just kidding of course. </p><p>As already noted there are coin shows almost every where nowadays. If your lucky there may be some near your. Go to Google search and type in coin shows and your state. Also, you may try the Numismatic Assiciation Upcoming Shows. Some on line dealers have references to coin shows such as jmscoins at the far left of his web site. I too like VTcoins and Millersmint. I seldome buy coins on line and never from ebay. We have way to many coin shows, coin shops, coin dealers at flea markets around the Chicago area to even consider buying anything via the internet. There are 3 coin shows a month withing 15 miles of my house every month all year long. As to a dealer to stay away from it's Harlan J. Berk. The place is here in Chicago and I've been going to that place for so many years even prior to it being Berk's. They used to be a decent place but in the last several years are loaded with cleaned coins, high prices, ignorant sales people, poor selection of coins. Centered in the center of the City they just don't care since virtually millions of people pass thier place every day. I used to ask why they never go to local coin shows. Guy told me not worth thier time with little people. Once I started to ask a question and the dealer walked away saying "lunch time". That was my last trip there and I work in the area.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
