For instance, if you want ONLY a Wire Rim HR Saint, maybe they list the 2 or 3 or 10 dealers with such a coin. But quite frankly, I am content to walk the floor and look and find the coins myself. Quite frankly, it's half the fun of getting coins or bills.:D It takes me 15-20 minutes to go through 40 tables/dealers or so at a local show....so maybe it takes 2-3 hours to get through a big show with 600 dealers (figure some tables you have zero interest in what they have). I'm all for helping those who are time-pressed. Myself, I'm going to FUN for the 1st time ever and plan on looking into every glass case. :D[/QUOTE]
