[QUOTE="tdec1000, post: 535129, member: 2401"]Have fun #1, Many people are going to tell you many many things/ideas of what they think you should do. Just remember....it should be about fun. I am a dealer that sets up at coin shows so I will tell you a few things I think. 1. Have fun 2. Leave your REDBOOK in the car, you look like an anchovy for a shark with that book. get a copy of coins or coinage magazine if you need a reference. 3. Be polite with the dealer, if he is busy with another customer. Just tell the dealer you will stop back when he is not so busy. He will respect you for it and believe me I remember the good customers and I give them price breaks on coins. The Jerks get price increases. 4. Walk the bourse first before pulling out any money. Then decide if you saw something you liked. I have purchased a coin at one dealers booth and then got to the end and found a better specimin that would have suited much better. 5. Have Fun, and let us know how the coin show went after it is over!!! :D[/QUOTE]
