<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 353054, member: 3011&quot;]I also went to my first coin show yesterday.&nbsp; It was a local show with about 35 dealers and a pretty large crowd of buyers.&nbsp; As this was my first show, I went about it pretty cautiously.&nbsp; One dealer spend a good amout of time talking to me, and I purchased two common date morgans from him.&nbsp; More importantly [to me], I brought several things to sell.&nbsp; I&#039;d never sold anything before and wanted to test the waters, so to speak, and learn how the market works.&nbsp; You never know what something is really worth until someone hands you cash for it.&nbsp; Anyway, I was able to sell a few things I accumulated over the years, but don&#039;t really collect.&nbsp; Needless to say, you can throw out your Redbook and if anyone out there thinks their set is worth what the book says, you have a big surprise coming.&nbsp; Prices at the show were all over the place, with some surprisingly low and others surprisingly high compared to what I expected.&nbsp; The biggest surprise for me was that there was very little gold or silver bullion for sale.&nbsp; Most of the action seemed to be at a couple of tables with very high-end coins; and a few other tables with very inexpensive coins and bargain bins.&nbsp; The tables with the least amount of activity seemed to be everything in between.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s a completely different atmosphere from buying in coin shops or from internet dealers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
