[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2938622, member: 19165"]Definitely go with a list of coins you want to buy. However, a show is really more of an educational experience: you get to look at things that you wouldn't normally get to see. You get to examine things in hand. And yes, you can practice your grading with a wide variety of slabs (in hand is always better than photos online!) You also have the chance to meet and talk to other collectors, make some friends, and learn from them. Talk to the dealers - some of them might not have what you need right now, but these dealers see thousands of coins. If you make a connection, they can keep an eye out for you and let you know when they find what you want. I usually don't find the coins I'm looking for on the bourse, but the education makes it worth it.[/QUOTE]
