<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chip, post: 2013994, member: 19122&quot;]The first time I bought a coin from R. Beale (900 fine) at a coin show, when I approached his table he was engaged in a lively discussion of early coppers with another gentleman, I was hovering around the table, eavesdropping on the conversation, he noticed me, told me to interrupt him if I saw anything I wanted a closer look at, then continued his conversation, I waited until he and his conversant were finished, I really liked hearing the discussion, and I appreciated his noticing me.</p><p><br /></p><p>At one of the ana shows, my brother went with me, he was looking for a Flying eagle cent for type, and we went to the penny ladies table, he asked her the distinction between the small and large letters, and she explained it to him, and showed him side by side examples of each type, a really good dealer to give an abc type lesson without being condescending or abrupt. I liked that style.</p><p><br /></p><p>At another show, I was looking for a 28 red seal ace, Scott Lindquist showed me some in various grades, raw and certified, gave me a short history of the notes distribution and was so obviously enjoying talking about it that it was contagious and was enjoyable listening to him talk about something that he enjoyed so much.</p><p><br /></p><p>I try not to let things that could be unpleasant kill the hobby for me. I want my hobby to be relaxing and enjoyable, to make it stressful I might as well find another hobby in that case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
