[QUOTE="MK Ultra, post: 25300307, member: 108322"]I remember my first show like it was August 2019, which of course was when it was. I walked around multiple times, scoped out who was selling what and for how much. Spoke to several dealers when they weren't busy. Bought 10 peace dollars for $15 each. They were not high grade. I bought 50 walking halves for $6.60 each, again not high grade. Finally bought two ASE for $18.50 each. My aunt had given me the coins she got when she divorced her husband. Lots of international stuff. Mostly international. Not many people around these parts deal in international, or know much about it either. But I was able to ask lots of questions, and got a range of answers. The best information was, "Buy the book before you buy the coin". If you have coins from your father and FIL, there might be some information at the local shows, but you will probably get much more information here, and other online resources. I like IKE so I like the ikegroup which is ikegroup.info There are apps for your phone to identify coins. I find the hobby to be very relaxing. FInally, come back and tell us about your experiences, I'm sure many would love to hear about it.[/QUOTE]
