<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eric Babula, post: 19755508, member: 85976&quot;]For others who may respond:</p><p><br /></p><p>Going to coin shows sound like fun, though a little intimidating. I think I should just go to one or two and walk around, with no intentions of buying very much. I&#039;d need to get a feel for how they work, before being comfortable working the scene</p><p><br /></p><p>Basically, I&#039;m looking for a good, honest, guy/gal who might be willing to chat to a relative newbie and teach me a little as we talked about coins, or who would help me find something decent for my Dansco 7070 Type Set and not rip me off. I would be mostly looking for lower dollar figure US coins (say, mostly $5 - $300 coins). Maybe someone who would give a fair price (I know they have to make a profit, too) on a bunch of my coins that I don&#039;t need anymore (say, lower grade silver and about 4,500 Wheaties). Basically, I&#039;d like to find someone that wouldn&#039;t be upset if I came in and hung around once in a while to just peruse their coins and chat with them. Someone I could maybe build a relationship with, over time. Not someone who would prefer if I just came in, knew what I wanted, bought it, and got out.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not really looking for stacking gold/silver or bullion at this time. The thought did run through my head to look into silver prices, and maybe buy some junk silver coins (low grade Mercs, Washingtons, Walkers, Franklins, etc.). But, I don&#039;t think I have enough $$$ to really play that game.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I mentioned in my post above, I&#039;m just starting to get organized, so I can learn more and get back into coin collecting. Right now, it&#039;s more of a hoarding of junk than an organized collection. I have to get rid of the junk and get my little collection to be organized and figure out what I actually want to keep/collect. But, when I&#039;m ready to start buying, I&#039;d love to have a good guy to be my go-to. Ebay is always there, and I&#039;ll give that a look also, but it seems like it would be fun to go into a shop and chat with a dealer as I look over his selection of coins, too!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, thanks for reading my long-winded msg!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for any advice![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
