<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 8380449, member: 19250&quot;]Also John we have had back to back local coin shows here the weeks prior.&nbsp; 99% of local collectors prefer the local shows for several reasons. </p><p>1 location many fear the city...crime stats...which to my knowledge aren&#039;t any worse than the state....crime has no zip code perferences! It can happen in broad daylight anywhere.</p><p>2 parking...most rather spend that $20/25 on coins than parking.</p><p>3 most of these patrons are working class so Thursday, Friday zre work days unless you burn a day.</p><p>4 attendees hate by mid day Saturday morning most&nbsp; dealers are packed up heading to BWI or the drive back home.</p><p>5 prices I have heard more than a 1000&#039; x&#039;s that they get more bang for their buck at a local show.</p><p>No cost parking...and most with law enforcement and spotters in the room.</p><p><br /></p><p>To each their own...but local shows are the best bet...it also helps knowing the local dealers on a personal level...as one could call Len of Len&#039;s coins, and say I&#039;m looking for a 1877 in vf....?</p><p>Do you have one or know another dealer who does?</p><p>Now yes I will agree one may find what one is looking for at the Whitman show...but one needs to attend the first 2 days....</p><p><br /></p><p>But must admit thats a nice specimen John.....I was also shown a very sweet 1955 ddo purchased from Angel Dee.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
