By now, this has GOT to be the only reason why I still go to coin shows!

I'm not sure why, but I guess unbridled optimism must be why I still go to the local monthly coin show. There's nothing there that's geared to the small-time collector like myself anymore. No "grab boxes" with anything I'd need, no 2x2's either..... just showcase after showcase of higher-end, slabbed coins, silver, and gold. I'd do better at the "youth" table outside the entrance to the coin show hall - - at least THERE they have Whitman blue folders, circulated coins, etc for YN's!
These days, I find nothing I need at all, or what I do need is way over-priced. The room's aisles are too narrow, and filled with mostly aging, overweight, odious older men barely hobbling about on their own, or using walkers & carts, blocking my passage. (DISCLOSURE: I'm also older, oversized, & wearing an eye patch, but at least I have seen a bar of soap and deodorant stick in the past 3 days!). Nobody thinks or cares to move their chairs or butts in so others can either get by or look at the same table's goods, people stand double-wide to prevent getting by as well, and nerdy types who don't look up or notice any other humans in the room (or appear to know what deodorant and shampoo is) stride quickly in my way or against the flow of traffic to stand right in front of the spot I was heading to.
Despite my observations at one month's show confirming how out of place I felt the previous time I went, for some unknown reason, I still go back once in a while, only to be disappointed yet again and reminded of why I said I wouldn't return after the previous time.
So there I was this morning, once again at the show, disappointed by the lack of anything I was looking/hoping for, including the guy who usually at least comes with Whitman folders. I was just about to turn around and walked out when I saw her in all her natural beauty!
(This is the part where true coin lovers would insert: " a glistening, MS-65 Flowing/braided/capped-hair dollar" or "a Proof Peace Dollar", etc....)
Not me...... what I saw was a true aberration. Something I'd never seen at any previous monthly coin show I had attended there..... a stunning young brunette in tight jeans that accentuated her perfectly-shaped tush, and wearing a top which highlighted her tremendous figure, and stopped just about an inch or so above her jeans....... And she was actively looking at coins!! Not bored while accompanying a boyfriend, but actually searching for and examining coins!!
I'm sure it was her boyfriend also looking at coins next to her, but it doesn't matter......
...... I think I'll be heading back to the coin show again next month when it comes around again!!! LOL!

Shame too. Nickel a dozen at comic cons
Sometimes I have to bark "excuse me!" right in someone's ear to get him to move to the side of the aisle at a coin show!

Thanks for adding to my coin collecting knowledge. Who says you can't learn something new on the PCGS boards everyday...men are too old and the girls are too pretty; oh don't forget the aisles aren't wide enough. Throw in some Whitmans...pretty up the men, ugly-up the women, widen-up the aisles and I'll see you at the next coin show.

But one thats actually interested in coins, well that sure is a rarity.
<< <i>One thing I do like about setting up at show is girl watching. A guy will come in with a really hot gal and I will watch them as they work their way around the bourse room. You know he must have some real money to get her.
But one thats actually interested in coins, well that sure is a rarity. >>
Cougar, I thought you were an older woman.
Lance.
<< <i>So what I would try to do is walk up to the young lady and say..."hey, you collect coins?-what a surprise! Me too...We should exchange phone numbers to talk coins some time..." If she responded positively, I might ask..."Can I check out your bust halves?" or..."Ok girl, now show me that Standing Liberty type 1..." This is an awesome thread. Not enough women into coins. >>
... and you wonder what keeps them away? Could it be creepy old guys who act like they have never seen a female before.

<< <i>This is why girls feel uncomfortable at coin shows. You've literally taken to a forum to talk about how you were oogling over her ass. >>
Exactly-well, at least it's one of the reasons.

Yes, flawless strategy. Gets 'em every time. Try it and report back.
I'm all for good fun, but this thread is pretty gross.
