<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1970 Silver Art, post: 933089, member: 18828&quot;]Get there on the first day early because IMO you have better chances on getting good deals on that first day. Bring cash but do not bring too much cash because a person might tend to spend more if they bring more cash than necessary. What I usually do is bring a set amount of cash on the first day of the coin show to spend (for example $200) but your situation is slightly different because you know exactly what you are looking for. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I do not know anything about the items that you are looking for nor the cost of the items that you are looking for but if you have a very good idea of how much those items you mentioned should cost, then I would bring just enough cash to pay for those listed items. I would also bring some extra cash for anything that &quot;catches your eye&quot;. Maybe bring an extra $50-$100 for anything that &quot;catches your eye&quot;. This is just a wild guess because it depends on what &quot;catches your eye&quot; and how much it costs. You know your budget better than anybody else here. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you are traveling to this coin show, then I would bring enough cash for gas expense and use that only for putting gas on your car. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Most dealers that I have seen when I go to coin shows have glass display cases that are locked to prevent anybody from taking anything from them and there will more than likely be someone watching over the case. Most dealers will let you inspect or hold a coin but some may not let you do that. If the dealers do not let you inspect or hold a coin, then do not do business with them. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Every coin show that I have been to have certified coins. They are usually PCGS and NGC certified coins but there are other third party graded coins there as well. This is just my opinion but I would stick with PCGS or NGC certified coins because those are the top graders.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good Luck at your first coin show. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
