<p>[QUOTE=&quot;x115, post: 1992201, member: 33628&quot;]I do not&nbsp; go to coin shows with the intention of buying nor do I feel obligated to buy. I go to view coins. to me part of a coin show is just that, a &quot;Show&quot;. a place you can view high end coins in person. shows are great for new collectors who have not seen many coins in hand. I remember when I first started (not that long ago) I would be interested in a certain series, but wanted to see the coin in hand before buying. </p><p><br /></p><p>with todays technology its easy buying coins online, and there are some great photographs of coins being sold. but nothing beats seeing a coin in person. some coins may appear much smaller, bigger in person. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>as far as buying at shows ? well if you get lucky and find a great coin at a reasonable price, then thats a bonus.</p><p><br /></p><p>learning about coins online or books is great, but nothing beats seeing the real thing in hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
