<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silentnviolent, post: 1482718, member: 8797&quot;]I&#039;ve never been told to leave a show for &quot;horse trading&quot; as it was referred to when I was introduced to the practice. Most shows I&#039;ve been to have tables set up for people to sit and rest, chat, trade, whatever. (No need to do it clogging up space in front of a dealer&#039;s table.) How could any dealer say they support the hobby and yet discourage or attempt to prohibit any part of it? Apparently I&#039;ve been only to enjoyable, friendly coin shows <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>If I didn&#039;t read it here, it was in a major publication (NN or CW) but somewhere there was a story about a picker who went to a show and bought a proof set with a &quot;no S dime&quot; in it. What year set is that again? He bought the set for normal set price and and sold it to another dealer at the same show for $10,000.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The point of that little story is that if a line is drawn for any one facet of the hobby, more are sure to follow fast.</p><p><br /></p><p>Funny, I always considered a coin show to be more of a social gathering of people interested in the same hobby, where smart coin dealers set up a table in order to &#039;get the word out&#039; that they are there as well as talk with people and conduct some business. Not just merely a glorified numismatic flea market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
