<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1793969, member: 19463"]<font size="3"><b><font face="arial">In this case there were 150 dealers with about 25 selling something other than coins (stamps, fossils, books). I bought coins from three dealers who sold only ancient/medieval or early world (no 20th century stuff). There were two other dealers with only old but high prices for poor coins and a couple guys that would sell anything they could get their hands on. The rest were US. I was able to spend all the money I allocated for the show with no trouble and passed up a Chimera tet I really wanted (because it was nicer than Steve's - sorry guy) but I was not willing to pay the price. In a similar vein, I saw a $750 Galba that was gorgeous and worth the price and enough other coins that I thought reasonable that I could have spent $4-5k with no trouble. This was a big show in a small state. At Baltimore those numbers would be multiplied by 5 or 10. I like shows (did I mention that?). </font></b></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
