<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 7824607, member: 18157&quot;]The first Baltimore show I attended (my first coin show ever), I got lost among the tables. I would see a coin I liked at one table, look for similar examples at other tables (for comparison), then forget where the first table was. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I had one guy try to sell me a raw 1919-D FSB Mercury Dime. Any nut could see the bands were only 80% FSB. The guy flipped out when I told him his coin wasn&#039;t what he thought it was. I really get tired of dealers bulldozing unsuspecting buyers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then...when I found a coin I wanted to buy, the guy says, &quot;Sorry, we don&#039;t take credit cards&quot;. I&#039;m like &quot;WTF?! You expect me to walk around Baltimore with a wad of cash in my pocket?!&quot;. I just go there to look around, anymore. I sometimes pick up a book or two, but that&#039;s about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did have a pleasant experience once. A seller from California had an MS63 1886 Liberty Nickel I needed to complete my MS63+ Liberty Nickel collection. He wouldn&#039;t take a credit card, either...but he said, &quot;Give me what you have in your pocket, then send me the rest.&quot;. That was nice of him...and I did.</p><p><br /></p><p>You meet all sorts of folks at a coin show. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
