[QUOTE="Cucumbor, post: 2465644, member: 4298"]I've had great time at coins shows too, especially in the eighties, when I got started into ancients. At that time the internet didn't exist though, and catalogues were poorly illustrated (and dealers wouldn't even send them to me, just too little a fish I was).
