<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 72717, member: 112"]Going to coin shows with open eyes - and open ears - is perhaps one of the most educational experiences a collector can have. Even if you don't buy anything - attend every coin show you can. While there, look at every coin you can - study them, look at the grades assigned for slabbed & raw and make your own judgement as to accuracy. <u>Ask questions</u> of the delaers and other collectors, strike up conversations on any given subject. Soak up information like a sponge and do your best to retain it - take notes even. </p><p><br /></p><p>But above all - enjoy yourself. Knowledge gained while having fun is surprisingly easy to retain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
