<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tcore, post: 231821, member: 2949&quot;]So, this is just an observation from a guy who&#039;s been in the hobby a few years that may be helpful to some newer members of the hobby.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve gone to a few coin shows. The way you present yourself makes a lot of difference at these events as to how much attention you&#039;ll get from the dealers as well as how they&#039;ll treat you when it comes down to talking price. I&#039;m not saying this is the way it should be... just the way it is.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve gone to a show or two before in shorts and a t-shirt. Some of the dealers couldn&#039;t have cared less and wouldn&#039;t even give me a second look.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, here&#039;s my recommended attire for shows as well as a few items you might want to have with you (so that you at least look like you know what you&#039;re doing :whistle: :rolling: <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>-Dress at least in business casual clothes. A pair of khakis and a button-up or nice polo will do (for the gentlemen).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>-Purchase and carry with you a copy of the <a href="http://www.greysheet.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.greysheet.com/" rel="nofollow">Greysheet</a>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>-Carry any other papers regarding the coins you&#039;d like to purchase.
