<p>[QUOTE="Hunt1, post: 938464, member: 25971"]So i just got back from my first ever coin show <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>It went good. I arrived there and was star struk by all the dealers. It was pretty intimidating at first. I walked every single table and spent about 90 minutes looking before i bought. My first purchase was a 1878 ms 62 NGC vam-16 morgan silver dollar. It was marked at $150.00 but i eventually got him to knock it down to $125.00. Then after walking around some more i spotted a indian head cent dealer. I wasnt planning on buying any and this guy had alot of indian head cents. He showed me some i was interested in, but the price wasnt right and i didnt know alot about them so i just thanked him for his time and continued on. At the middle of the show i spotted a table that was ineteresting so I came back to it later. I found a 1883 ms61 NGC five cent peace (no cent), the marked price was $45.00 but i got him to make it $30.00. Then i moved on and found this other dealer selling a whole lot of sets, he sold me my birthday proof set and knocked 5 dollars off it making it $20.00. Then i bought a WWII set including steel cent, half dollar, nickle, quarter, and mercurey dime all 1943 for $15.00 marked down from $25.00. All in all it was a good day and i met some nice dealers and made some future contacts. I also attended a 45 minute ICG counterfit spotting seminar which i paid $10.00 for admission to it and learned some great things in it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
