<p>[QUOTE=&quot;troublesbrewin, post: 640078, member: 16993&quot;]When I go to large shows I like to check out the auctions to see what is up for sale and how rare the items are, this is an opportunity to get up close with some spectacular specimens. So check the auctions then find the booths or register for the auctions so you can go to a viewing of your favorite coin types, it may be the best time for you to see some proofs which are out of your price range or maybe you&#039;ll find yourself actually bidding. The exhibits put out by fellow collectors are also very interesting people narrow their focus to incredible extents and private collectors often have the most amazing sets and the knowledge and history of their sets.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I saw David Bowers at the coin show in Baltimore this past June, he gave a talk on Colonial Coppers, then I went to the Whitman Booth, bought his book &quot;The Expert&#039;s Guide Collecting and Investing in Rare Coins&quot;.&nbsp; I sat down next to him in the Bourse and we chatted for about 10 minutes as he signed my copy, a great experience.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
