<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 8189, member: 487&quot;]Your first show? Great! Well that particular show can be a little overwhelming. It is a little on the large size. But what in Texas isn&#039;t? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> For your first show, take your time to see what is there. Do not be in a rush. Many of us (dealers) travel from show to show, so you never know who will be there. Most dealers when they are not busy, are more than willing to talk coins. Please remember that these are just people, so if one is rude, don&#039;t take it out on the rest of us. My firm does not have a table at this show, but a few of my staff members and I will be making the rounds. I would suggest that you keep your list handy, and do not buy the first coin that fits. Walk the show patiently, and look for multiple examples of the coins you need. Pick the best coin that fits your budget. All $10 coins are not the same. I use $10 as an example. One dealer may have a nice &quot;G&quot; or Good Barber Half for $10 and another dealer may have a nice &quot;VG&quot; for the same amount. If you are building a type set, the date and mintmark are not as important. Shows are also a great place to pick up supplies. If you need a referrence book or flips or whatever, it can be found at a show. </p><p>Most of all, have fun. This is what the hobby is all about. Meet some dealers, and see some great coins. Have lots of fun and let us know how you liked it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
