went to coinshow today feedback please

i went to my 1st ever coin show today, was wonderful, was overwhelming. they had cop cars deliberately paked outside to show police presence and inside they cops were quite visible.

there were lots of nerchants and the place was quite a buzz with activity. it was very overwhelming for this movice.

i found a dealer who specializes in great britain. coins only, sadly no paper. i focused in on queen victoria jubilees, all values. i didnt know what i was doing and im not sure each of the coiuns in the series are consistent and what it takes for them to be so. so, i just bought the ones i thought were an acceptable price and visually pleasing. i am sure i did it all wrong. i still havnt taken em out of my backppack. imm hoping i havent made a big mistake. i already owned vics 1/2 & full jubilee sovreign.



i also worked on a full set of george v 1914, year wwI started (for us brits).

where can i go to learn more about tips on all values / isues in a "set", options on appraoches.

if any one else is keen on feedback, would appreciate.

thanks much

What more could you ask for on your first time out.

Perhaps you should get a copy of the Spink catalog, you'll find all British coins from Celtic times to today listed with values.

Tho' Spink's does tend to be a tad high on the modern issues ... IMHO.

so sphink is the industry standard pricing guide from which dealers, collectors then work actual prices?
