Is a coin show a good place to buy rolls? Talking about Lincolns.

Do dealers bring OBWs to coin shows? I've only been to four shows and never really saw any out.

With the costs involved, a dealer must bring the most valuable items that he can.
My suggestion is to ask all at the show and follow up via email or telephone. Your local dealer is probably the best one to see.
I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

That sounds like good advice.
Thanks Julian.

Many times I've looked in shops and see no rolls then ask and they say "nothing good" so I ask to see anyway and they often pull out a box full of rolls that they will sell for a buck or a few bucks.
Same for a Roosevelt dime roll...dealer was opening it up to sell individuals.
I agree with the "ask at the show to see"
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
At the big shows, something like that would represent too much to carry to be worth it.
Another thing is to try local B&M shops, the older and more successful ones particular. Say one is heavy in gold and gold is up bigtim that week. Getting a call from someone who'll take some old roll from the back of the safe might be a simple sale that the dealer would do for very little mark up. It is like the sales at the end of a show. You are outside the profit maximization wiindow.

I will post on the BST next time I'm looking to buy some rolls.
A big thanks to Walkerguy21D. I got a pm from him and I was able to do a deal for some rolls he was sitting on.
Had a nice box of rolls show up today that will allow me to search some and save some.
I'm kind of laughing at myself for thinking dealers would be dragging such every, low dollar items to shows.
