<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 354019, member: 4552&quot;]Best ask first about taking photos at a coin show. Around the ones I go to that is not allowed. No photos. Same at the gun shows, knife shows here. </p><p>And as to avoiding rude or ignorant dealers, again that is something to be considered. I USED to think that way but found out as time went on that in spite of some dealers poor or even bad salesmanship manners, some have fantastic deals. Possible reason is they don&#039;t get a lot of customers so when they do they make the prices worth it to the customer. At some of the coin shows I go to there is dealer that most of the other dealers and many customers say stay away from. He is a nut, rude, ignorant, etc. So for the fun of it I went there one day and asked about a coin. As expected he blurted out why, do you want to buy it or just look at it. I said who knows, I think I just wanted to see if you were as rude as everyone says. He grunted, handed me the coin and quoted a price I couldn&#039;t resist. Now he is one of the few dealers I can always find good deals with. You never know. Ignorance, stupidity, poor salesmanship, rudeness are some peoples personalities but still you never know about thier prices until you ask. </p><p>Well it&#039;s April and not sure where your at but around me in Illinois, there is so many coin shows this month I think I&#039;ll just run and hide. We have the usual 3 on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd Sunday of every Month within 15 miles of me. Also, if I wanted to drive a little there are two more on the 6th, 1 more on the 13th and another on the 27th. Of course there is the really big one at the Rosemont Convention Center from the 17th through the 20th. That is the Central States Numismatic Society 69th Annivarsary Convention. And not to be outdone we have the one with all the foreign, not sure how to spell foreing,&nbsp; stuff at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O&#039;Hare Hotel on the 24th to the 27th. </p><p>Hey stop by.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
