Coin Show Advice

I have only been to one local coin Show, not to big of an event, but probably the largest in my area....anyway at the last one I kind of walked around and looked, but didnt buy anything. My question is this, what is the proper form for looking through proof sets. Is it poor form to look through numerous proof sets looking for the cameos? or is it a waste of time? looking for advice for a coin show novice......

  • Don't waste your time. Mad Marty and Russ have already cherrypicked every proof set in existence. image
  • You're the customer! Look for what you want. I spend hours looking for just the right coin. It takes months and years to find the coin that fits my collection.

  • I haven't been able to verify this with certainty, however, I have it on good authority that Marty has several "undercover ferrets" working the smallest coin shows in the remotest regions of the globe, seeking out DCAMs without stopping for food or rest.

    I knew those guys were acting on the authority of a higher power
  • Terripin, I find it inconceivable that there is not quite a few coin shows. How about starting a local coin collector group and/or coin show?

  • CC,
    There is a few shows here run by local coin club. just wondering if it is worth looking through the proof sets, or have they been picked through with all the good sets tucked away....
