<p>[QUOTE="cncman, post: 535132, member: 17256"]Good question, first thing is it sounds like you have a plan, that's always good, if you can stick to it. Don't be afraid to spend a little more if you find something that you like that you can get a deal on. Lots of times I find something I wasn't planning on getting but I got a deal on it I couldn't get otherwise. Next, take your time, don't just go in commando style just looking for what is on your list. Take the time to look at several examples of coins you are interested in so you can get a better idea of grading etc. Use it as a learning experience, there isn't too much ettiquite wise to be aware of that isn't common sense. Most dealers will be very friendly and happy to answer questions about what they have, also tell them what you are looking for, they may have a box not on the table. Don't be afraid to walk away from a deal if it isn't what you want. Most of all have fun and learn everything you can, it is also a good place to get some cheap supplies, albums etc. If you have stuff to get rid of tell the dealer you would consider a trade, you may get more than selling outright. Good luck, have fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
