[QUOTE="chip, post: 1480349, member: 19122"]A pretty fair list but it missed a few faux pas that might be mentioned. 1. When a dealer shows you that 1856 flying eagle cent, do not toss it in the air, and say flip you for it, call it. 2. If you lunched on chili and beer, do not ask a dealer to pull your finger. 3. If a dealer will not come down on their asking price, do not hold your breath until you turn blue. 4. If a dealer hands you a coin you want and will not meet your price, do not cry until they agree to sell it to you. 5. Realize that offering face value for coins will not get you anywhere. 6. If while showing you coins, you accidently drop one, do not ask the dealer for a discount because of the rim ding you put in it. 7. If a collector is selling coins to a dealer, do not tell the collector you will give them whatever the dealer is giving plus a dollar. I am sure there are many other important rules that would enhance the coin show experience for novice collectors, and keep them from being banned at future shows.[/QUOTE]
