<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedy, post: 220645, member: 705&quot;]Hey Guys</p><p>Last year there was a small (5 dealer) show near me and I decided to set up and sell some extra coins---well I did that and did quite well! Not only did I sell a good bit of coins but I traded and bought some other really nice coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well this year they are having it again (this time they are hoping more more dealers) and I decided to set up again. So does anyone have any tips, or suggestions on what types of coins seem to be hot at coin shows lately?</p><p><br /></p><p>Last year alot of the people that came were just looking for odd and rare coins---one guy had a complete set of BU Barber half dollars. But many of the people either didn&#039;t have a computer/internet or they didn&#039;t do the research. Alot of the people were useing Price Guides such as the Red Book or Numismatic News Price guide. I was useing the Gray Sheet and so my prices seemed &quot;low&quot; to them. </p><p><br /></p><p>So what seems to be hot?? Is it the same as last year?? or is it what was dead last year? or is it something else&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> :hammer: :hammer: </p><p>Last year proof and mint sets didn&#039;t sell at all.....Morgan and Peace dollars were really slow---I traded I think it was 4 Morgan dollars for 4 ASE....I was asking $12-$15 for the Morgans...I then turned around and sold the ASE for $25 each to a guy that was standing there. Last year Key Dates went in about the first hour. Such coins as 1914-D cent was gone within min. of the show opening. :hail: </p><p><br /></p><p>So far I&#039;ve been buying a few of the &quot;Edgeless&quot; dollars off of Ebay and a dealer here on CT to take with me---so far none of the dealers around here have gotten any of them so I think I can &quot;corner&quot; the market on that coin! </p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
