<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 2890820, member: 22377&quot;]Your experiences can vary greatly between shows and dealers. Some can be nice to deal with while others are flat out jerks. I have run into all kinds, but it is definitely worth it to make the rounds and test out as many dealers as possible. At my last show I must have shown a few coins to 10 people before the 11th finally bought them. Yes some talked down to me while others politely declined, but the fact that I was able to sell the coins made up for any hassles.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would recommend taking a variety of items with you to sell/trade (basically all the items you no longer want to keep) since you never know who will be interested in something. For example, I brought a 5 oz ATB in PCGS SP 70 to my last show. A few dealers gave me a funny look but one of the bigger ones that normally pays under greysheet found a similar piece on eBay and bought the coin for a fair price.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your burnished gold coin might be a similar case to the ATB. You’ll get some dealers offering melt or even under melt (yep even for a 70 non bullion coin). Don’t give up and seek out more offers. Eventually you’ll find the right offer. </p><p><br /></p><p>And since you are willing to trade, I can see some being more willing to work with you. One dealer from whom I purchased a coin gave me a good offer on the Morgans and Washington quarters that I was selling.</p><p><br /></p><p>In general have an idea of what your items are worth and don’t feel pressured to lower your expectations.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most importantly, have fun looking at coins and remember to trust your instincts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
