<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Maxfli, post: 2938877, member: 69089&quot;]I&#039;ll be there too (I live nearby). I think the feeling of being overwhelmed comes from not having a plan and sticking to it (been there, done that).</p><p><br /></p><p>As others said, you can always step away and check coin data on your smart phone, but personally I prefer to walk in with a printed list of coins I&#039;m interested in, along with target prices and grades. And it&#039;s usually a fairly long list, because I know that the coins at the top of my list may not be there so I want to give myself a reasonable range of options.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the important part: I stick to my plan, and don&#039;t allow myself to be distracted by coins that aren&#039;t on my list. Sometimes I leave with no purchases, sometimes one or two coins, and only rarely more than that. But because I stick to my plan, I know I&#039;m leaving with coins that I really want to add to my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for accurate grades, some show dealers over-grade everything, others grade reasonably accurately.&nbsp; Don&#039;t rely on what&#039;s written on the holder. Know what the grade is by looking at the coin itself (be sure to take a magnifier).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
