<p>[QUOTE="Gnatman, post: 342313, member: 12515"]First off, I have been collecting coins for a few months now and am still rather new to certain aspects of the hobby. I don't really know too many people in my area to ask questions such as these, so you are those people <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. </p><p><br /></p><p>I admit it. I have never been to a coin show and don't really know what goes on there, lol. There is one coming up in my area of Michigan in a week and I am thinking about attending. The listing says that there are 26 dealer tables. Now, is there trading going on at these shows? Should I bring some coins that I would be interested in trading for other dates? Are the prices usually reasonable? Should I bring my Red Book so I don't over pay? Any information is helpful, heh. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just out of curiosity, is it a good idea to hoard Lincoln pennies 1982 and under? Seeing how they are worth about 2.5 cents a piece because of the copper, it doesn't really seem like a bad idea if you have the space and spare time, lol. They are easily available in circulation and could yield a descent profit if copper rises in the future. It seems like copper will most likely rise in the future, but who knows when. Any and every opinion on this topic is much appreciated. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ill be back in about 35 minutes, got to catch the last period of the Red Wings game :smile.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
