[QUOTE="sonlarson, post: 535810, member: 15488"]Thanks! This is the information I was looking for, Did not plan to bring Redbook, but did not know this was the "rookie" tip off i was trying to avoid. Plan to have all my data on an excel spreadsheet on my PDA. Did not know about the haggling. You just saved me a lot of money. Security is always on "orange" when in any crowded place where a lot of money changes hands. Fun is on the top of the list. My wife is excited about going and she could care less about coins. Except the kind she spends. Don't know about trading or selling. My collection is still to lean. I do have a lot of Wheat cents, but saving these for the grandkids. Perhaps this would be the place to unload some rolls from my 1966 uncirculated bank bag? Kinda of heavy and would be hard to keep up with. What would a roll be worth? $4-$5 ea? Like the plan to walk it and look first, then go back and buy. The best deal might be the last. Only have the 1 day, have to work the 2nd. My only loupe is 16X, a little too powerful, will bring it anyway, or buy a 7X or 10X when I get there. I like the camera bag idea, have just the thing, small and lots of pockets. Plan to be at the Lockheed center in Fort Worth on Saturday, maybe I'll bump into one of you. Thanks for all the tips, glad I made the post, I think I will be better prepared. Mike[/QUOTE]
