<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dimedude2, post: 622984, member: 17539&quot;]Well, I went to the NOISE coin show in Itasca, IL last weekend and it was a rather frustrating experience. I got to the show at 1:20 PM, and most of the dealers were leaving for Father&#039;s Day.&nbsp; My thought was to get to the show after seeing my father in the North suburbs, but I should have got there earlier.&nbsp; When I got there, it was a sparse crowd.&nbsp; Oh well</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Some thoughts:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1.&nbsp; A coin show on Father&#039;s Day weekend is not a good idea.&nbsp; A coin show the week before a major show in the same metro region is a bad idea.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2.&nbsp; Very few early commeorative coins are being sold now.&nbsp; I think dealers are holding on to their inventory to avoid a loss or a less than acceptable profit.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3.&nbsp; From my brief discussions with the dealers, business has been slow throughout the year.&nbsp; Maybe I talked to the grumpy dealers.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>4. Get to a show early. The earlier, the better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
