<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 1743618, member: 19423&quot;]Although it doesn&#039;t seem the blogs are very active on this website, I figured I&#039;d give it a shot.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As some of you know, I live in Southern California where there is a pretty active numismatic marketplace.&nbsp; There are usually two or three coins shows within driving distance each month and I try to get to as many of them as I can.&nbsp; I am also able to attend auction lot viewings locally for most Heritage, Stacks/Bowers and Goldberg auctions.&nbsp; There are also well over a dozen coin shops within driving distance, but I only go to 5-6 of them on a regular basis.&nbsp; In addition, two of the nearby shops have a weekly bid board where collectors can put up coins for auction each week to be bid on by those who come into the shop.&nbsp; I try to check out those bid boards each week as the items change each week and I have found some really neat material and some awesome deals in the past.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I know that I am lucky to have so much numismatic activity in my area and know that is not the case in other parts of the country.&nbsp; Accordingly, I thought I&#039;d share some of my experiences in the blog here and hopefully some of you find it entertaining.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mike</p><p><br /></p><p>:thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
