How does a Major show impact the coin industry?

Cameo CC

There are four major shows a year. I have been told that these show trend to determine where the coin market is going. Do you agree or disagree? What do you consider a good show or bad show?

I n my view, a good show is where collectores can purchase the kinds of coins and in the grade

that they prefere, also that most collectors have a pleasent time. From the dealers perspective,

they will make a profit over their high expenses and time invested and more important, pick

up fresh stock and fill client want lists. Good shows can give some indications as to what

segments of the collecting world are cold, warm or hot. Finally it is a nice feeling to meet people

you know and like ,both with collectors and dealers.When you consider the effort that must go into

producinga great show and the effort dealers must put into traveling accross the country dragging

their stock and the fatigue of travel and long bourse hours, its amazing to me that it gets done at all.
