[QUOTE="Andrew McCabe, post: 4892866, member: 90666"]One of the best things about coin shows is getting to see many coins which have not ever been listed on the internet, whether from low end sellers buying from detectorists, or high end who have bought or had consigned a complete collection.

Also there are so-called vest pocket dealers who wander the floor, supposedly only buying and with no stall, but that might have a brown envelope of coins to interest you. The downside because its time limited is much the reverse of the upside - you've no chance to check provenances and often make mistakes when you don't have large VCoins photos to consider or AC or CA to check prices. You can over pay for coins with problems, and for oer the counter cash buys without receipts, there's no returns. Sadly more and more coins go straight to auction or VCoins at standard pricing without going thru a coin show. But they are still opportunities to buy, and for dealers to close many cash sales in a single day. Lets hope they continue in some form. Not online[/QUOTE]
